As a closing sentence for the introduction, I would propose we add the following about the Territorial Governorship: "He was recalled in disgrace from the office of Governor after the Ponce Massacre." I'd like to see other wordings; this is too mild a condemnation for my taste, and it doesn't flow with the preceding text. Additionally, it's probably wise to expand below on the Administration's part in Winship's direction; discussions leading to his appointment have been published in "The Public And Private Papers Of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt".[[User:Gnerphk|Gnerphk]] ([[User talk:Gnerphk|talk]]) 12:12, 27 April 2016 (UTC) |

This article needs to be entirely re-written. Most of the article is devoted to the years 1934 to 1939, but it should cover all of his life, it even fails to list all of General Winship's awards. This article violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view. For a far better article on General Winship see the below link and scroll to pages 149-151. |

External Links
The link for this has expired: Top Army Lawyer Also Was A Combat Hero…Winship's Record In Puerto Rico Was Hardly Heroic by Robert F. Dorr, Puerto Rico Herald. May 3, 2004.
The above cite is incorrect. The correct citation is: Top Army Lawyer was Also a Combat Hero by Robert F Dorr, and Letter to the Editor by Lt Col Esteban Jimenez.
And the new url is http://www.puertorico-herald.org/issues/2004/vol8n35/TopArmyLawyer.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rumjal (talk • contribs) 03:28, 25 October 2008 (UTC) rumjal 03:11, 25 October 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rumjal (talk • contribs) rumjal 03:31, 25 October 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rumjal (talk • contribs)

Proposed Edits
NOTE: A great deal of this article is subjective. While I agree with the conclusions, we're missing several citations that should be easy to provide. More to the point: In order to be taken seriously, we need to avoid statements like "He was a murderer" and instead say that "Many historians now conclude that he was..." and cite references.Gnerphk (talk) 12:12, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
