Bus Service Section needs to be edited

The "Bus Service" section doesn't make any sense and I can't edit it as I don't understand what the writer is trying to say. Also, the whole section has been copied word for word from Haiti Libre (see link in the section. An example of the section:

Under the metal body of "The Haitian pride," a 300-hp diesel engine and chassis doubled. And, for better visibility, a rear view camera for the controls of driver. Manufactured from the assembly of parts purchased abroad, the bus is equipped with, among other things with, televisions, sound system, custom lamps, window laminated four whose four for exit, sanitary facilities, 54 individual reclining seats, to ensure relaxation, security and comfort of travelers.

Can anyone help with this?

• In the Duvalier dynasty (1957–1986) section: Change "He largely continue his father's policies" to "He largely continued his father's policies"
• In the Duvalier dynasty (1957–1986) section: Change "Massive corruption and the brain-drain of skilled Haitians retarded the country's development" to "Massive corruption and the brain-drain of skilled Haitians reversed the country's development" The Meta Boi (talk) 16:45, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

 Partly done: Fixed the typo but did not change "retarded" to "reversed". That statement is currently not supported with any citation and we should have some source to tell us if the economic growth slowed or stopped before choosing between these terms. The text above implies that there was some growth during Baby Doc's reign, so a source is needed to decide which statement is accurate. I placed a citation needed tag instead.

About Franklin Roosevelt and the Haitian constitution

In 1920, FDR was the VP running mate of James M. Cox. In that capacity he stumped the country, including giving a Farmer's Day speech in Deer Lodge, Montana (my home town). In that speech he claimed to have written the Haitian constitution, as this article asserts. My previous research indicated that he never made such a bold assertion before, or after since the reaction forced him to walk back his claim. So, although in his 1915 capacity as assistant secretary of the Navy he no doubt had a good deal to do with that document, it is at best arguable that he actually wrote it.Jwilsonjwilson (talk) 20:40, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

The article claims Haiti is the only nation in history established by a successful slave revolt. This is incorrect, as the original nation of Israel was established by a successful slave revolt of the Hebrew people who were slaves in Egypt. this is historically correct whether or not one believes the biblical accounts of miracles leading to their freedom.

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Dawnseeker2000 23:32, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

First appearance of the word CARICOM in the article should be the active link for/directing to the article on CARICOM itself rather than the word's second appearance (CARICOM is mentioned twice in the article) PJayCaribe (talk) 06:32, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

poverty is the reason they're poor?

Under the economy section "poverty" is listed as one of the principal reasons that Haiti is such a poor country. That would seem to obvious to mention to me. "Poverty" should be deleted, because an effect cannot have itself as a cause. 107.77.221.22 (talk) 15:36, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
