Talk:Cuban–American Treaty of Relations (1903)

message: This separate situation arose from a dispute because the island was not specifically mentioned in the Platt Amendment which defined Cuba's modern boundaries.

The Platt Amendment does not define the borders of Cuba, not could it. Not sure where how the dispute arose. anyone?? ( Martin |  talk • contribs  20:23, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  sentence deleted - its not correct 

message: The footnote/reference says $4085 per month, but another document says the 1934 treaty changed the amount to $4085 per year. That claim is not substantiated by the Yale Law Avlon project copy of the 1934 lease however, and I have not found the date or rationale for the change in payment amount. I have requested information from the state department that should clarify this ambiguity, at least somewhat. ( Martin |  talk • contribs  02:14, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

message: Changed from
*Professor Alfred-Maurice de Zayas also argues that the United States has broken the terms of the treaty by allowing commercial use of the land and not giving Cuba ultimate sovereignty over the area.
He does mention McDonalds, but says this is not a material breach, sufficient to void the lease. He does discuss other more serious problems with the lease. He does note the that compulsion in signing a lease was not at that time considered enough to void an agreement. Consider, one supposes, the Magna Carta, signed under duress.

message: I split the paragraph "reactions to the lease" into American and Cuban.
I think this is helpful, because there is little question that the lease is controversial, so making plain what the controversy is, is helpful. I hope to make some progress on this, and I will now add what I think is a useful source for Cuban opinion in the early days 1960-1965, taken from speeches of Cuban representatives, gathered in Spanish in 1970, and translated in 1977 into English, via Michael Strauss.

Talk:Mstislav Mstislavich

message: Where on earth was the statement that Mstislav Mstislavich was "one of the most popular and active princes of Kievan Rus'" sourced from? Most popular with whom? His contemporaries (the ruling elite; members of the court; peasants; his parents and best friends... or was his popularity attributed by later historians?)? Who, then, were the other most popular princes and how was their 'popularity' determined? According to whom? At least one very, very reliable and verifiable source which clarifies how this conclusion was drawn is needed to back up such a sweeping, subjective statement.
This entire article smacks, not only of non-neutral POV writing, but lacking in any serious sourcing other than generalised references to a couple of texts.
A review of "The Crisis of Medieval Russia 1200 to 1304" reads:
: "Written by long time Professor of Russian language and literature John Fennell the lack of historical awareness or the confidence to engage critically with the sources and scholarship shows in this limited political run through that focuses on northern Russia.
: The discussion of the career of Danilo of Galich is extremely poor compared with that of Aleksandr Nevsky despite the published and translated latin sources for the former. There is no mention of the Papal contacts with the Russian Princes although these are also published and available in translation. There is no discussion as to why the Princes spent so much time fighting over Kiev and no discussion of the pre-Mongol steppe despite a long tradition of on going contacts and interactions. There is also no use of archeological evidence or discussion of trade and commerce despite surviving treaties.
: Fennell's views on 'western aggression' and the tangled scriptorial tradition of the surviving written Russian sources are also impeccably orthodox when really those concepts still need a good vigorous shake."
As for Michael C. Paul, he's a virtual unknown and only obtained his PhD recently and has only published a handful of papers appended to minor journals or self-published. Surely there must be more reliable sources outside of his essay? --Iryna Harpy (talk) 04:50, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
