Looks like you just can't understand the world: Venezuela to assist Chavez's *populist-based* socio-economic programs.

[edit] Odd syntax

This section is full of odd syntax e.g., "Currently, Cuba has diplomatically friendly..." rather than 'Currently, Cuba has friendly diplomatic....."

One might be tempted to think, incorrectly I am sure, that such turns of phrase are poorly translated from Spanish, and given the glowing description taken from Cuban governmental sources..... (El Jigüe, 10/26/2005)

[edit] "Castro" or "Cuba"

I went through and changed "Castro" to "Cuba" when the text referred to actions that were not taken by Castro personally, but rather, but the Cuban Government. For the sake of accuracy "Castro" should not be used interchangeably with "Cuba," "Cuban Government," etc. takethemud 23:06, 1 March 2006 (UTC)takethemud

[edit] Franco-Castro relations?

Was there any link whatsoever between Castro's Cuba and Franco's Spain? At least they shared the language and a colonial past. 217.209.93.205 01:35, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Good question, I believe that despite being diametric opposites in ideology, Franco being devoutly anti-Communist and Castro becoming the head of the Communist Party in Cuba, relations were fairly civil between the two nations during Franco's time. I'm not sure if they were close enough to be of note though, unless anyone can provide a good source analysis.--Zleitzen 01:52, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Expanding

It would be good to expand this article to include the pre-1959 foreign relations of Cuba. takethemud 03:17, 23 August 2006 (UTC)takethemud

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Chavez04 fidel9.jpg

Image:Chavez04 fidel9.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Castro Khrushchev.jpg

The image Image:Castro Khrushchev.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
  • That this article is linked to from the image description page.
