Talk:Cuba

Errors

Columbus landed on Bariay, Holguin province, Cuba in 1492. It is not Baracoa. Distance Cuba-US: 93 miles (150 km), not 140 km. There are some mistakes in Geography. Please read main article: Geography of Cuba. 25 September 2012

Time Zones

Could someone please change the CST and CDT to:

[[UTC−05:00|CST]]

[[UTC−04:00|CDT]]

The current link on CST says "Cuba Time", but it redirects to the UTC−05:00 page.

Thanks. -- CrimsonViking (talk) 01:56, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

Hypocrisy

I am sorry for any spelling mastakes in my previous comment (entitled Batista). I am writing this comment as I think I failed to highlight sufficiently the amount of cuban history the author of this article missed out ( the whole piriod of time from batistas coup to fiddel castro's assumption of power). The article in question fails to evaluate the US assisted, bloody dictatorship of Batista with what came afterwards.( it is understandable that those in the US fail to judge the significance of the propoganda they are exposed to).the evedence is clear as you will probably find if you talked to the majority of Cubans who lived under Castro and Batista that the gangland corruption evoked from the bloody years of US backed batista were(in terms of human rights) far far far worse than the mere mass murder of casto's regime.I suspect I also failed to mention the hipocracy of the US government; in the aforementioned article the writer mentioned a quote of the US government I believe it might have gone along the lines of "the trade inbargo we have enforced is because of the human rights record" now after hearing that I assumed oh they will enforce a trade embargo against china too.hmm I don't believe the US has such a good human rights record iether ,oh and while about it you could close the area in Cuba were most of these supposed human rights violations take place god damned Guantanamo bay yer it happens that that mothership of good will and vertue the US doesn't have the greatest human rights record itself infact it was only a few weeks ago that might be presedent Mitt Romney insulted the hard working culture of the Palestinian people... I can now truly say that the United States is a declining nation (although they may not realise it).

Ps sorry for any mastakes in grammar and spelling.00:06, 5 November 2012 (UTC)78.149.195.101 (talk)

First, I reverted the first seven times you repeated the exact same post on this talk page. If you are trying to get editors' attention, that's not the way to do it. If you are trying to piss editors off, you're off to a good start. Second, there is no "the author of this article". There are many, many authors to this article. This is the encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Click here to see the beginning of the list of editors who have contributed to this article. Third, since you seem to have an axe to grind, I strongly suggest reading a few of the policies that editors here are required to adhere to, starting with WP:V, WP:NPOV, WP:NOR, WP:RS, WP:CON, and WP:5P; after you thoroughly read those policies, I'll be happy to suggest a few more important ones. And finally, find a few reliable sources to support your ideas, suggest your ideas here with a list of those sources, and do so in a more collaborative and less hostile tone. Then we might be able to work with you. Cresix (talk) 00:20, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
