Talk:Ángel Castro y Argiz

discussion?

POV tag
I have put a POV tag in response to the editorialism and sensationalism in the article, e.g. "murderously elite" and "this prosperity was due in part to ruthless exploitation of his workers, and various illegal or even murderous exploits", which raise questions about the POV of the author. See Neutral point of view for background. - BanyanTree 19:28, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

The "murderously elite" refers to Weyler this refers to the Spanish American War when upto 400,000 Cubans starved to death. I changed it a little and added references El Jigüe 12/7/06

There is also little doubt that Angel Castro treated his workers unfairly; however, I toned this point down and added some references. Why don't you re-read and check the cited sources and see if this satisfies you. Meanwhile I have removed the POV tag, because this is now not the same article you criticized. El Jigüe 12/7/06,

Raúl
Is he the father of Raúl Castro?

Juanita Castro
The article does mention Juanita Castro's claim about her father's reason for coming to Cuba, but according to her recent book it is also untrue that Lina Ruz was a servant in Ángel Castro's house, and she says that Ángel Castro had been estranged from his wife for some time before meeting Lina Ruz. I don't have any reason to believe that this account is more factual than others, but it should at least be mentioned, I think. The Fidel Castro page also mentions that Lina Ruz was a servant, so it should probably be noted there as well.

There may also be other discrepancies between Juanita's account and conventionally-accepted history - someone who is a better wikipedian than me should probably look into it more closely. 216.47.133.120 (talk) 20:30, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
