Talk:Félix Rodríguez (soldier)

message: I have blanked out several portions of this article and the comments because they do not follow the Wikipedia official standard for  Biographies of living persons.  If you think a section was improperly blanked, it was probably because it did not have a high-quality verifiable source listed.

message: This article is clearly biased.  I attempted to make changes, but then realized I am not aware of the standards, etc. as of yet so I erased my changes.  This article needs substantial editing to remove political bias.

replies: text: I'm in favor of keeping it so wildly biased, as it serves as a good reminder to anyone reading it that they need to confirm anything they read here with a more trustworthy source.  I had started to believe some of what I was reading until I realized how it was so comical that I remembered I should check elsewhere to see what was true and what was typical Wikipedia BS. --71.203.125.108 (talk) 08:43, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

message: I have read completely the source cited to say that Che was in the "custody" of Félix. The citated material does not substantiate this and has been removed per WP:BLP and other policies. Please do not reinsert this.--Die4Dixie (talk) 00:02, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Die4Dixie, (although I did not insert the wording you object to) I believe "custody" might be a matter of semantics. According to the CIA debriefing of Félix Rodríguez on June 3, 1975 - pg 4 states that Rodríguez was acting in the capacity as the "highest ranking Bolivian officer" on the scene where Che was being held captive, and Rodríguez admits to pg 5 ultimately passing on the final execution order to the man who killed Guevara. I am not sure why you particularly object to the phraseology - but yes agree with you in part that the wording of "custody" is not preferable to other alternatives.   Redthoreau (talk)RT 00:33, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Let´s stick to what the source says if we are claiming to quote it. It is dishonest to say a source says something it doesn´t , and sourcs shouldn´t be used falsely to insert OR. I am glad that we agree on this issue, and am gratified that you took the time to read it too.--Die4Dixie (talk) 01:34, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

message: Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted.
Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.
This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link.
If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.
If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page.
If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.
Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

message: Most historical figures or famous people have some blurb about their personal life. Has no one been interested in adding this, or is it specifically left out? I came here after reading this article about Mexican cartels https://medium.com/matter/blood-on-the-corn-part-ii-b4f447d70a8c part of which describes the relationship between the cartels and the contras and includes references to Rodríguez. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Slippyshoe (talk • contribs) 22:07, 18 November 2014‎ (UTC)

message: I don't want to edit anything on this until I find better sources or have a better idea of what's going on, but there has been tons of articles popping up about Rodriquez's involvement with the murder in this case. LA Weekly just did a piece on it which can be read here. I was wondering why there wasn't anything in the talk page concerning at least the allegations. Can someone enlighten me?

replies: text: According to the link you provided, the allegation that Rodríguez murdered Kiki Camarena originates with an informant named René López Romero then reiterated by Hector Berrellez. I think this allegation needs to be reported on by something more substantial than the LA Weekly before its inclusion is considered. I will be interested in what you find. - Location (talk) 00:29, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

text: I understand. By the way, I did see the Fox News article earlier. Be skeptical of anything claimed by Tosh Plumlee. - Location (talk) 02:25, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

message: The Iran-Contra section in this article was put together in 2006. It basically relies on the Final Report of Lawrence Walsh, the Independent Counsel for Iran/Contra matters, the official record of the OIC's investigation. There is no problem with this of course, but there is a problem with the following claim that has sat in the article for 14 years:
:Rodríguez also met and spoke repeatedly with Bush's advisor Gregg and his deputy (Col. Samuel J. Watson III). As one indicator of this connection, a single chapter in the Walsh Report titled "Donald P. Gregg" (Chapter 29) contains 329 references to Rodríguez.
All of this is an IP editor's opinion, with nothing else to back it up. The figure of 329 references is the editor's count, the claim that it is proof that Rodriguez met and spoke repeatedly with Gregg and Watson is the editor's claim. None of this belongs in the article, and I have removed it. If there is disagreement on this, please discuss here before reinstating. Rgr09 (talk) 03:54, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
