Currently seems to have a pretty fair three-paragraph summary, and a link to
a full article on the subject.
That is not the point, that is after a long edit war, that you seem to
think isn't necessary. It is still not up in the introduction as one of
the major branches of anarchism. Review the history.
or if you could get Castro properly labeled as a
dictator.
The correct description is apparently "Presidente del Consejo de Estado" or
just "Presidente", or alternatively "Comandante en Jefe". Nobody
seems to be
able to get those titles into the article. Instead we have squabbling over
whether to call him a "ruler" or a "dictator". Edit warring does not
help
this, it makes it worse.
Wrong, it hasn't gotten worse, at least Batista is no longer
called a dictator, as he once was. That is how much the clique, did
not want Castro labeled a dictator. Note that Batista still has a regime,
which has been regarded as POV on other pages. Batista did not shoot
people trying to escape Cuba, Castro does. The spanish title and a
literal translation probably deserves mention in the english version, although
probably not in the intro.
Now the late Shah of Iran has similar problems.
Somebody keeps trying to run
off with "His Imperial Majesty " and "Aryamehr".
Or how about getting what everybody expects to be
called
communism, the communist state, and criticisms of
it on
the communism page.
I'd expect a description of an ideology, and some general history, under an
-ism.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communism
For communist states we have an article with the completely unsurprising
title "Communist state".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communist_state
For the Communist International, there's an article called "Comintern".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comintern
In the english speaking world the cold war was fought against
communism, not a stateless, classless system where all property
is held communally. It is anarcho-communism not state communism
that should be the subsidiary page.
Do you ever try the hard stuff on a page with a clique
suppressing
other POVs?
There is a dispute resolution process for the serious stuff, you know.
We would end up having to abjudicate every edit.
