WP:3RR and Fidel Castro

Both of us have reached our 3 reverts... Blnguyen (bananabucket) 08:13, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm not caving in because you want your views aggressively persued. This is about fairness, whether you like Castro or not. There's nothing wrong with the sources, you're just being a dick. (User talk:Comrade Martin) 11 September 2007 (UTC)

The problem with your edits is that the writting style in them conflicts with WP:NPOV. - Caribbean~H.Q. 18:23, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

They're no more POV than the ten lines in the opening paragraphs explaining why he's illegitamite. I will not cease balancing this article, even if I have to get deleted to do so. I'll keep rewording these changes until they are sufficiently "neutral," even if the oppositional remarks are not held under similar scrutiny. (User talk:Comrade Martin) 11 September 2007 (UTC)

You should know that Granma isn't a reliable source in this case per the obvious WP:COI situation it presents. - Caribbean~H.Q. 18:51, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Then let's take out any U.S. government links, starting with the one I have attempted to counter with the Granma citation. Please, choose one or the other. (User talk:Comrade Martin) 11 September 2007

I choose neither, some neutral citations are needed in this article. - Caribbean~H.Q. 19:05, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

But you're not listening to me. How is the US Government a neutral source, when Granma is not? I think they are both equal in their level of strong opinionation against and for Castro. And if its okay to present the US Government's side, I'm not going to back down from saying its okay to present the Cuban government's side. The changes I've made aren't made in a biased tone. If you think they are, please tell me how I can make it otherwise, or make the change yourself. But don't revert my changes completely unless we have a very good reason to do that and nothing else.

I think you misunderstood me, neither the Cuban or the American goverment should be used as references here unless its being used to illustrate the position of either one of these goverments, both sources are biased towards their points of view, the references in there should be of independent journalism in nature. - Caribbean~H.Q. 19:16, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I see. My bad. I thought you were saying you chose neither of my two propositions... lol. In that case, I was like "wtf." Anyway, though, I went and got the CIA World Factbook to link to also, so I think our neutrality problem is solved. Its not often you'll get the CIA and Granma to agree.

Note

I realise your block has probably lifted by now, but in future, do not log out to evade a block, as you did here. This could earn you a longer block. ~ Riana ⁂ 03:24, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
