Talk:History of Guyana

message: Readers should note that the basic text of this entry has been lifted from the U.S. State Department's Background notes. See http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/1984.htm
A more accurate entry should reflect recebt revelations about the active role of the CIA in the late 1950s and 1960s in preventing Jagan from coming to power.
:This is true, as the recently added link demonstrates, and it probably constitutes a violation of Wikipedia plagiarism rules. The article has been subsequently edited by myself and others, and I have attempted to correct what you indicate about the revelations (which are not so recent). --Herschelkrustofsky 14:31, 13 Jul 2004 (UTC)

thread_title:  Conflicting Information 

message: This is a huge article with few sources. Huge swaths of information the size of the Amazon Rainforst seem to be be lifted without do direct, or numbered  references. 
You need to put reference if you are copying large amount pages of information form other sources ...especially when you are dealing with politics!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Starbwoy (talk • contribs) 23:46, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Where are the Sources/ References, reference points 

message: For a party that was in power for a short time...according to this article they seem to dominate the landscape. 
The Stalinist party or what became of the PNC that ruled for over 25 years, has less information. 
The best parts about Burnham, and his party running the country into the ground
was nonchalantly ignored
....a population living in fear, mass migration in the 1970's and 1980's, continuous manipulation of elections poles, mass failure of socialist economic programs and ideas, killing of a main political opponents...ALL CONVENIENTLY  IGNORED/ OVERLOOKED. 
*****
If you're going to talk about race politics...you need to place it where it firmly belongs and where it STARTED FROM...with U.S/UK and its cold war obsession with Communism. THE START OF RACE POLITICS IN GUYANA WAS MANIPULATED, AND STARTED BY THE C.I.A....to destabilize the PPP government.
**** 
All the document are now declassified from the CIA files.
Also according to the article this country mostly seems to live and breathe politics. Was the population involved in other things besides politics in the modern era???? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Starbwoy (talk • contribs) 23:46, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
