Talk:Alvaro Uribe

How do we determine he is a dictator? The only information provided in the article discusses a Presidential election and receiving 62% of the vote and the word dictator is never used. Now of course dictators can have "elections" as well, but they are usually the only candidate running and results of 99+% are customary.

Human Rights Abuses

Uribe and his government have been linked to human rights abuses. This has been reported in the mainstream media. Way to whitewash the facts just because they don't fit your ideology --FreedomandLiberty 11:01, 13 June 2007 (EDT)

Then you will have to have a source from mainstream media. Rob has already determined the listed source is not adequate. Learn together 11:02, 13 June 2007 (EDT)

Would this be mainstream enough? Amnesty's fairly prestigious. --wikinterpreter ^woo!

Thank you Wikinterpreter --FreedomandLiberty 11:07, 13 June 2007 (EDT)

If you want it to have a chance to stick, you'll have to write it better. Your first source is the one that Rob already determined is inadequate, so as soon as he sees that, you'll be reverted. You make references to sources that you don't use with references; that will also draw a red flag. You must have very specific articles with very specific references. I hope this helps.

Yeah you're probably right it won't stick, the facts have too much of a liberal bias --FreedomandLiberty 11:33, 13 June 2007 (EDT)

Well, I can tell you right now it won't for the reasons I've noted above. You'll have to have very specific facts and references. By the way saying "revert vandalism" on an article content revert is pretty much akin to saying "please kick me out and block my account". This isn't wikipedia with its grandstanding posturing and chest thumping. Conservapedia is pretty straight forward and isn't big on theatrics that don't match the situation.
