Carlos Romero Giménez

Romero was judged in absentia by Franco's regime, and sentenced to death by Garrote for being a Mason. TERMEC Court (Spanish Tribunal for the Repression of Freemasonry and Communism) with summary 1278/1945 and a final decision taken in 1946. Regards Descendiente (talk) 01:22, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

That may well be true ... but you need to find a reliable published source that says it. The source you cite is a Masonic blog, it is not considered a reliable source. This is why I left the information in the article, and just removed the citation. Blueboar (talk) 02:21, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Franco's regime brutally repressed Masonry, including -as in Romero's case- sentencing members to death by medieval torture instruments. Lodge files where used by TREMEC as 'crime' evidence, so fraternity's records that could be saved from confiscation, were hidden or destroyed to save lives. Obviously, it is not a simple task to document Romero's obediences, lodges and grades. To me there is no doubt about the good faith of colaborators of Masonería España. Otherwise, what would Wikipedia accept as a reliable source in this case? Descendiente (talk) 20:53, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

AFC review

Could I ask you to do a review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Grand Orient Arabe? I went to look at this, but I think it requires more masonic expertise than I can call forth. Thank you, Mangoe (talk) 17:52, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

Declining is simply a matter of putting "d" in the first empty slot of the template and putting the reason in the second. There are codes for most of the common reasons (e.g. "blp"). I'll take care of this one, though, and I thank you for your attention to this. Mangoe (talk) 21:17, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

Mediation Cabal: Request for participation

Dear Blueboar: Hello. This is just to let you know that you've been mentioned in the following request at the Mediation Cabal, which is a Wikipedia dispute resolution initiative that resolves disputes by informal mediation.

The request can be found at Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/27 February 2012/Wikipedia:Verifiability.

Just so you know, it is entirely your choice whether or not you participate. If you wish to do so, and we'll see what we can do about getting this sorted out. At MedCab we aim to help all involved parties reach a solution and hope you will join in this effort.

If you have any questions relating to this or any other issue needing mediation, you can ask on the case talk page, the MedCab talk page, or you can ask the mediator, Mr. Stradivarius, at their talk page. MedcabBot (talk) 14:07, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
