THE ARTICLE HAS BEEN SABOTAGED. COULD SOMEONE PLEASE REVERT? Can not remove this line "i miss you do remember how much fun we had youre the only thing that makes me happy im sorry for temporarily self pitying,". When I click edit source that line is nowhere to be found.

The above line disappeared when I made minor edits like removing bold for some words.

Is this vandalism on a defferent level. Why couldn't I see that line when I clicked edit source? How it disappeared when I deliberately made minor edits.

legality

I note that there is no discussion of the legality - or rather lack thereof - of the invasion under international law. As this was not a military operation in a war situation, its legality ought to be covered.203.184.41.226 (talk) 07:28, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Mistakes in "Playa Girón today" section

"A two-room museum, with American aircraft and other military equipment outside, shows pictures, arms and maps of the attack and photos of Cuban soldiers who died. Billboards and other material also remember the US-financed freedom fighter."

The latter sentence makes no sense and should be removed.

The first sentence is mistaken that the Sea Fury outside was American. It belonged to the Cuban air force.

"The Museo Playa Girón displays, in one of two wings, the impoverished lives of the residents of Cienaga Zapata before the revolution and the advances following the revolution, such as literacy teachers; and events leading up to the invasion, such as the La Coubre explosion. The other wing displays maps and photos of the invasion, American heavy arms captured from the invaders, and photos of and personal belongings of fallen Cuban soldiers and militia. Outside the museum are a Sea Fury fighter-bomber, a T-34 tank, and a SU-100 self-propelled gun."

Reference update

The quote from Life magazine ""Havana gleefully noted the wealth of the captured invaders: 100 plantation owners, 67 landlords of apartment houses, 35 factory owners, 112 businessmen, 179 lived off unearned income, and 194 ex-soldiers of Batista" has a link in the reference section that is outdated—it goes to Life's main page. I had to use archive.org to find the original page with the quote (http://web.archive.org/web/20090420062137/http://www.life.com/image/50658964/in-gallery/25102). Someone who doesn't think WP is a POS might want to update the link. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.201.84.80 (talk) 17:26, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

An informed editor needed

In the section describing the invasion, it sais "Throughout the day they were reinforced by more troops, heavy armour and T-34 tanks typically carried on flat-bed trucks.". What was that unspecified "heavy armour"? One part of the article sais that the Cubans had T-34 and IS-2 tanks in addition to SU-100 tankdestroyers. If that "heavy armour" refers ony to the IS-2s, then it should say so, instead of leving it unclear to people who haven't read the whole article. Most people don't read entire articles.
