Che Guevara was interviewed by Herbert Matthews in 1959. In this interview he states he has no connections to communism and even goes as far as to say that the U.S. government began the rumor.[1] Ldague (talk) 21:27, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mario Teran was not alcoholic 212.219.189.18 (talk) 14:52, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. DannyS712 (talk) 17:21, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This characterization of Teran was changed to "half drunken" in this 2009 edit; it was then changed to "alcoholic" in 2013 in this edit. Perhaps someone who has access to the source being used could clarify -- Carlson288, are you there? --jpgordon𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇 17:35, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
 Done The source uses the words "half-drunken" so the wording has been adjusted and “alcoholic” removed.  Redthoreau -- (talk) 03:21, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

CHANGE THIS SENTENCE: Guevara, who was practically the architect of the Soviet–Cuban relationship,[169] then played a key role in bringing to Cuba the Soviet nuclear-armed ballistic missiles that precipitated the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962 and brought the world to the brink of nuclear war.

TO: Guevara, who was practically the architect of the Soviet–Cuban relationship,[169] then played a key role in bringing Soviet nuclear-armed ballistic missiles to Cuba in response to the American deployment of nuclear missiles in Turkey and Italy, which precipitated the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962 and brought the world to the brink of nuclear war.

RATIONALE: Historically Accurate and avoids the misconception that Guevara and the Soviets were the provocateurs of the crisis. Hummelgau (talk) 23:29, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The change is the addition of "in response to American deployment of nuclear missiles in Turkey and Italy". This would be something for which a reliable source would be handy. So they've done 50% of what you asked for. Simonm223 (talk) 17:49, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Here are some sources for consideration newsmedia source. I've repeatedly said I don't like 'em and I don't, but it's well-referenced in and of itself, a timeline drafted by an anti-nuclear advocacy agency, an academic source. Simonm223 (talk) 17:58, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Those sorts of arguments are best for the article on the Cuban Missile Crisis, not for rehashing in the lead of this one, in my view. However, the word "precipitated" could be changed to "preceded" to be more neutral. I have done so.  Redthoreau -- (talk) 10:39, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Turkey needs to be capitalized in the summary at the start of the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.78.3.135 (talk) 18:06, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 Done.--A. Randomdude0000 (talk) 20:17, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Correction: United Fruit Became Chiquita

United Fruit Company became Chiquita Brands International, not Dole. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.191.70.92 (talk) 02:33, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 Done That part has been removed.  Redthoreau -- (talk) 10:34, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Chei?

Why is this article saying that "Che" should be pronounced "Chei" in English? That is ridiculous, why can't everybody stick to the real pronunciation? It is like saying that New York should be pronounced Nehu Shork in Spanish... --ExperiencedArticleFixer (talk) 23:27, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

ExperiencedArticleFixer: I have no idea why. It sounds ridiculous to me too. But it is the pronunciation described by the Collins English Dictionary, which is used as a source in the article. --MarioGom (talk) 23:32, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I saw the source. But it is completely insensible... --ExperiencedArticleFixer (talk) 23:40, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"After a military doctor amputated his hands..."

This is POV bullshit. An amputation is surgery, which is to say the person is necessarily alive. This was a dismemberment. Fix it, Superjerks. 174.115.100.93 (talk) 18:27, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
