Talk:Che Guevara/Archive 1

message: The very 1st word says "Dr.", what was Guevara one of? --Menchi 05:00 14 Jul 2003 (UTC)
:Following his graduation from the University of Buenos Aires medical school in 1953,... - Hephaestos
I believe he was a doctor of medicine, specializing in leprosy.  There is a film about his early life called "The Motorcycle Diaries," it also illustrates his early life a little bit. (anon 30 April 2005)
:Yes, he was a medical doctor. -- Jmabel | Talk 04:48, May 1, 2005 (UTC)
Are there any records proving he graduated as a doctor?
:Guevara entered medical school at the University of Buenos Aires in 1947 and passed exams and became a medical doctor in March 1953. He returned to Argentina at that time. 71.28.252.57 19:46, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

message: This article is currently nominated for featured status (see Wikipedia:Featured article candidates). It wasn't a self-nomination and there were a few objections, I am taking it upon myself to try to resolve the objections so we can get this very good article featured. The most visible change is that I am going to remove the infobox. It is not standard for biographical articles, and the data it adds is (or at least should be in the lead section) anyway. If you think this is wrong, it would be helpful if you could reply at the candidates pages as well as here. (i.e. don't just kill the messenger :-)). Pcb21| Pete 17:46, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Info box removed.
Another objection on that page is that there are too many quotes, and that some or all should be removed to wikiquote, and an external link added. Do you agree? If so, which, if any, are the most significant quotes that should be kept? Pcb21| Pete 18:15, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)

text: As I nominated it, I figured I could do something vaguely useful. I have reduced the number of quotes to five, based on those that appealed to me than any kind of historical significance, and added link to a very comprehensive page at Wikiquote. Palnu 21:55, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: This is featured article candidate

message: I just saw the film The Motorcycle Diaries yesterday, and there were some inconsistancies between the story told here and the film's version. I do not mean to suggest this article is incorrect, only that the discrepancies deserve investigation:
* Alberto Granado Was a biochemist, and not a doctor.
* Did Ernesto ever complete his medical degree? According to the film version, he leaves his university with a term incomplete.
* What happened after his tour with Alberto? We know he went on to help lead a revolution, however what occured between these events?
* The ages 23 and 29 are reversed in the movie.  And the dictation of the diary is performed not by Che, but my Ernesto.

thread_title:  The Motorcycle Diaries... 

message: "The CIA wanted to keep him alive for interrogation, but he was executed by the Bolivian army" was recently changed by User:Db pr, who has no other contributions to Wikipedia, to say, "And he was later killed by a bolivian soldier under CIA orders." No comment was made, no citation was provided, and I believe the change is factually wrong. I am reverting, but will happily yield if there is solid citation to back it up. -- Jmabel | Talk 03:10, Nov 21, 2004 (UTC)
(Indeed i have seen from a documentary on Che made by a german film crew ( i can give you the name of the video, i beleive its called the Bolivian Diary) and also from a large work on Che simply titled "Che: A revolutionary life" by john lee anderson. the account of his death is also consistent with the documentary.  Che was killed by a bolivian soldier under orders from the president of Bolivia and a CIA man was present.)
But where is the evidence to support the assertion that the CIA "wanted to keep him alive for interrogation"?--Garsanllean 11:05, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  death order 

message: the version i edited said something about and "ill, humiliated" che, that doesnt align with his personality, i edited for a more NPOV approach to the real fact that it is unknown the REAL reason for Che's departure who was sad about the situation there but never mentioned being humliated or something like that, i hope peopl see my changes as something positive for the NPOV of the whole article
