Added some historical context all of which has been cited with proper reference. Also changed 'seize' to 'liberated' in respects to mosquito coast as this land was treated as a colony by European interests. Rafaelsfingers (talk) 00:19, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the additions. However "liberated" is a loaded term when talking about transfer of territory and people from control of one government to another (see Wikipedia:Neutral point of view so I am changing it to "took control of". (If Zelaya called it liberated, the article can certainly say so, but with the term in quotes and proper citation.) Cheers, -- Infrogmation (talk) 00:31, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fearful that president Zelaya might build an alternative economic system[edit]

"Fearful that president Zelaya might build an alternative economic system,..."

I am not sure what is meant by this comment above and was curious if a more detailed explanation of this statement could be made and added to the article. The present comment is in the third section and is the last sentence in the second paragraph.

I am curious because I cannot tell if it means another competitve global alignment of capitalist countries that tried to exclude and be independent of United States economic involvment or if it is meant to mean that Jose Santos Zelaya was some sort of socialist or anti-capitalist which he certainly was not.Stamos1981 (talk) 13:41, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Basic Writing Standards[edit]

A gigantic excerpt from a book is not suitable for any kind of article, report or summary. Select one or two key quotes. 76.23.157.102 (talk) 03:15, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sins of Omission[edit]

1. There is no mention of Zelaya's invasion of Honduras 2. The "liberation" of the Moquito coast was another step in the exploitation of native Americans, since the Mikito Indians do not seem to have had any interest in being taken over by Nicaragua --Al-Nofi (talk) 16:59, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
