message: Whats his ethnic background? Is he mestizo?? He looks real good anyway  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.50.77.237 (talk) 12:02, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: He's actually a mishmash of mestizo and mulatto. Also, because of his green eyes, people in Ecuador regard him as a "sexual symbol" and only second best to Hugo Chavez but not as "papi" as Evo Morales. --60.234.101.144 (talk) 11:53, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

message: The last paragraph in "Second Presidency From 2009" does not have any links supporting its calims, and to me seems like an opinion, not an encyclopedic fact. I would remove it completely. Quoting:
"However, despite the fact of some social victories, he is concentrating the power not only by popular vote but by decreeing policies that are exacerbating the patience of the educated Ecuadorian middle-class who are seeing how the country is taking a path-way to isolationism and a left-wing corruption. The support of Correa is maintained by a well planned basis of his political movement which controls people's masses upon promises of increasing social welfare and positions in government payroll. Even though Correa has a speech of social justice, he doesn't have the control of a complex and big bureaucracy (given the size of the country) and most social contracts and projects are still subject of corruption and bribery. The power concentrated by centuries by right-wing land owners is being transferred to the new rich left wing politicians of his government."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gonzalobb (talk • contribs) 17:03, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

message: Along the lines of Hugo Chavez and Evo Morales' foreign policy sections i've moved Rafael Correa's to Foreign policy of Rafael Correa because the section is large and there is enough space to warrant a new article.Lihaas (talk) 11:18, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

message: Why does the WP:LEDE i.e. summary of the article mention something about a pativideos scandal, but there's no discussion of this in the article Nil Einne (talk) 09:10, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably good idea. You may have found  from your search and it does have some explaination. I searched when I first posted my message but forgot to include Correa's name so ended up with a bunch of stuff which either didn't seemed relevant or which were in Spanish which I don't understand so gave up Nil Einne (talk) 15:52, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

message: Made two changes - added the point that as he challenged the mutineering police to kill him if they dared, they were actually pointing their guns at him. Included source for this. Also erased what was clear POV - "This had nothing to do with a coup d'etat, as all the international press thought" Manbilong (talk) 19:40, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Someone with a limited grasp of English and no grasp at all of Wikipedia rules or editing ability keeps changing the 2010 crisis section, so I've made extensive changes again Manbilong (talk) 07:54, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

message: :Ecuador, which had originally offered Snowden a temporary travel document, withdrew it.[290] President Correa said the decision to issue it was "a mistake".[291]
That's wrong. Ecuador didn't offer any travel documents. Fidel Narvaez did, without authorization, in a hurry as Snowden was trying to leave Hong Kong. Fidel Narvaez is a friend of Julian Assange's. Nor did Ecuador withdraw anything. The document was invalid to begin with. When president Correa said the decision was "a mistake" he meant that Fidel Narvaez made a mistake by issuing such a document without authorization from the Foreign Ministry. 186.101.140.5 (talk) 22:03, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

message: Removed the "checklist" which was over 30,000 bytes of info (nearly 20% of the article in bytes!) Most of this is explained in the body already and only seemed to serve as a positive POV. I have never seen this on any other article regarding politicians, so this was promptly removed. Feel free to use the sources again (here is the edit to find what was removed) but please do not remake this "checklist". Thank you! ----ZiaLater (talk) 08:18, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removed "Achievement Checklist" 

message: There is an op-ed cited from the Chambana Sun about criticism of the University of Illinois to not rescinding the award given to Correa. However, it seems like the Chambana Sun itself is not a editorially independent newspaper, but instead is run by a GOP led PAC. It might be inappropriate to have such a reference in the article. snood1205(Say Hi! (talk)) 14:23, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

message: This article seems to have been the victim of extensive lead bombing. I started to fix it but it's going to be a big job. Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section the lead is supposed to summarize the article, but there is much in the lead of this article that isn't discussed anywhere else. Examples include the CIA and the pink tide. If it's not important enough to put in the article, it doesn't belong in the lead. GA-RT-22 (talk) 22:30, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
