Hello. I have reverted at [[Nicolae Ceaușescu]] because there was no NPOV issue. When the word "regime" is used in place of terms such as "presidency" or "government" as had been in this article unsparingly, it becomes a label. All I did was rewrite most of the sentences. There had been 20 mentions of "regime" but I only changed 19 of them; I found one to be legit in that it was part of a quote. I've tried to raise this subject in the past but it has attracted very little feedback. It appears that most people like to use this term for unfavourable leaders and periods within a state's history. Normally the very mention of the "such and such regime" is enough to betray the publisher's bias since what follows will never be complimentary to the system that is being referred to. This means that any proponent of the system in question would have a valid response to his antagonistic publisher. If you would like links as to how the term "regime" is known |

Nicolae Ceaușescu
Hello. I have reverted at Nicolae Ceaușescu because there was no NPOV issue. When the word "regime" is used in place of terms such as "presidency" or "government" as had been in this article unsparingly, it becomes a label. All I did was rewrite most of the sentences. There had been 20 mentions of "regime" but I only changed 19 of them; I found one to be legit in that it was part of a quote. I've tried to raise this subject in the past but it has attracted very little feedback. It appears that most people like to use this term for unfavourable leaders and periods within a state's history. Normally the very mention of the "such and such regime" is enough to betray the publisher's bias since what follows will never be complimentary to the system that is being referred to. This means that any proponent of the system in question would have a valid response to his antagonistic publisher. If you would like links as to how the term "regime" is known to be a loaded term, I can link these to you, but for now I'll guide you to one of our articles: see Loaded language#Examples. --OJ (talk) 09:44, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
