Talk:Nelson Mandela (view source)
Revision as of 16:53, December 10, 2013

I'm rewriting this article - no more sections of just quotes. One section is literally one Newt Gingrich quote and the other is various quotes on Cuba - that's not how an encyclopedia works, kids. If you want to comment on his thoughts on Cuba, but you're too lazy to notice that those kinds of thoughts should be a sub note in a section about his flirtation with communism - and you're too lazy to write that section, so instead you use a bunch of cquotes (by the way that's not what the template is made for - it's not for article content) - you're not actually contributing anything.--[[User:Iduan|Iduan]] 11:45, 10 December 2013 (EST)

:There are also other issues with this article - including random first person tense, significant amounts of undue weight, and inconsistent citation style. I don't have access to the books cited and I think I can find the same information through online primary and secondary sources so I'm starting from scrap. I will be starting with four general biography sources to create an outline for the article - the sources are the New York Times - a liberal American paper, All Africa, The Nelson Mandela Foundation (supplementary only due to obvious bias) and the Independent - a conservative British news source.--[[User:Iduan|Iduan]] 11:53, 10 December 2013 (EST)
