[edit] Ye olde talk

The 1 sentence paragraph concerning the Washington Times seems a little suspect, any other opinions on it? 68.39.174.39 22:11, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Added NPOV. Some of the paragraphs are written in a vaguely dismissive manner, and the 'references' provided definately have an axe to grind against the FTAA. It could use a good reorganization and content added, anyhow. Almafeta 04:18, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Apr 19 Update

I gave the article a crack... tried to move it closer to encyclopedia-style, clarified some factual errors, removed outdated info, and wikilinked where possible. The article needs a big update of info, don't have time to do it right now. Feco 08:50, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] History

Added history up to 1994. References and history post 1994 still to come. --Niku 23:40, May 10, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sources?

Thanks Tequendamia for the section on oppositions and critics. However, some sources would be nice to have, specially when Chávez is quoted as saying this or that, and about the specifics of the ALBA. --Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 22:28, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Last part on "opposition"

How reliable is "ratical.com" as a source? Fairly decent alexa ranking (120K) [1] but certainly I think we can find some better critics/criticism of the FTAA (maybe even some of Chomsky's work or other well-known intellectuals). I'll look up some sources to add to the opposition section a little later, tired right now.--Jersey Devil 03:21, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Countries

Shouldn't the article mention which countries would be part of this? It seem like that would be an importent part of the article. TJ Spyke 23:06, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

I know this website is already listed under links, however here's the direct link to a list of the countries included in FTAA: http://www.ftaa-alca.org/busfac/clist_e.asp

Hope someone will use it to edit the article.

[edit] invalid source

"A vocal critic of the FTAA is Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez, who has described it as an "annexation plan"[2] and a "tool of imperialism""

There is no actual source for this. The paragraph needs to be re-written. The invalid source is:
