vandalism note
Just noting this for convenience. i've reverted these several edits by Special:Contributions/68.198.130.230 in a single edit because they are clearly vandalism (i saw maybe one or two words which were reasonable). Special:Contributions/130.225.0.251's edit was to partially remove some of the vandalism by 68.198.130.230, so his/her work isn't lost. Boud (talk) 19:20, 8 October 2009 (UTC)


 * I've just reverted several vandalism edits by the same IP address as well, both here and on the OAS page. Clearly a problem child.--KevinEdward (talk) 12:21, 10 October 2009 (UTC)


 * i've added another warning one step up in intensity: User talk:68.198.130.230. i suggest that someone add Template:Uw-vandalism4 to that page if the user again ignores the warnings, and if that fails, then call in an admin for blocking. Someone who knows Spanish better than i do (not difficult :) can summarise the edits and explain that most (though not all) of the interventions are sex-related words that don't have any sourcing nor any obvious notability, i.e. fairly unambiguous vandalism.

 * I've blocked him for a month. —WWoods (talk) 22:00, 13 October 2009 (UTC)


 * More vandalism in this edit from that same IP. Moogwrench (talk) 06:05, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Narco News as a Source?

Narco news and Al Giordano is a blog guys he is not a NPOV and should not be considered a reliable source. Can we not find something from CID Gallup instead? Anything related to polls conducted by him should be removed as not reliable. Most people here do not want Zelaya back. Now that does not necessarily mean that Micheletti was ever popular but that is also a long shot from Zelaya being popular either. In fact, he was the most unpopular president in Central America next to Ortega before his removal and is even more so now. Also, not sure where or how to add it so if someone can do it for me..something should be added about his nephew being murdered during the crisis. I am not saying connect it to the crisis but it can say suspected to be related to the crisis. I realize it has not been proven but that is a theory that police are researching right now as robbery has been discarded as the motive.Summermoondancer (talk) 03:24, 4 November 2009 (UTC)


 * i agree with Summermoondancer, Narco News is a blog, blogs are not reliable sources. Carl vercetti (talk) 02:04, 27 November 2009 (UTC)


 * The brother of a former Honduran president was killed, yet along with the assassination of Micheletti's nephew  its nowhere to be found in the article of Micheletti's presidency or the one that deals with (clearly biased pro-Zelaya) article about Human Rights violations committed during this period of time. 99.144.128.184 (talk) 03:17, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

"School of the Americas Watch", "Democracy Now", and "Alternet" and some blog at Z Communications are also questionable sources for a biography article. Alb28 (talk) 23:25, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Roberto Micheletti
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Roberto Micheletti's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "cofadeh_report_20090715": From Chronology of the 2009 Honduran constitutional crisis:  From Military of Honduras:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 12:44, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Lack of balance in demo image
We may struggle tirelessly to achieve balance in the description of events but all this is undone when someone decides to download an image of a passably attractive (from a distance) demonstrator from one particular side of the conflict, and at a time when demonstrators from the opposing camp may have good reason to fear their images appearing in open media. 'If a picture can paint a thousand words' (which I believe it can) we need to be a lot more scrupulous about balance in this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.100.250.228 (talk) 13:27, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Attempted Coup October 24, 1985
It is necessary to publish in the Micheletti's Biography, Micheletti was one of 12 congressmen who staged a coup on October 24, 1985 to convert the National Congress of that era in a National Constituent Assembly to increase in 2 years the Government of then President Roberto Suazo Cordova, which was unconstitutional.

SOURCE: HISTORY OF HONDURAS, Edited on May, 2004 by Longino Becerra

Located in Chapter 15 on the government of Roberto Suazo Cordova 1982-1986, he continually strove in subparagraphs Roberto Suazo Cordova p. 258 and in part attempted coup October 24, 1985 p. 259

This source was in turn taken from contemporary newspapers and some interviews given by the deputies who tried to make the constituent including Micheletti. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.42.185.126 (talk) 20:25, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Legislator for life
Micheletti is not immune from prosecution as other sources erronously stated. Presidente Micheletti no tendrá inmunidad 190.53.225.34 (talk) 00:26, 18 January 2010 (UTC)


 * For which reason should El Heraldo (which is known for supporting the anti-zelaya operations) be granted more credibility than other sources?--Desyman44 (talk) 19:15, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Edit warring
Seems that 2 non registered users (190.53.225.34 and 186.18.9.96) are engaged in a continuous edit war (and not only in this page). The first constantly modifies the statement "ad interim - de facto" into "acting" and the second puts back the previous one. Shall not something be done to pacify these 2 guys?--Desyman44 (talk) 19:12, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

The NPOV is that Roberto Micheletti was a de facto president -- this is obvious and self-evident, since Mr. Micheletti wasn't acknowledged as de jure by any government or international organization. But somebody is sistematically reverting this fact in order to insist that Micheletti was an acting president -- which is invalid, since that is the title given to him by the same institutions which staged the coup d'etat.

What is to be done now?

I don't think that this/these (most probably Honduran) person/people is/are going to stop reverting. Since Theboyinlaw is a very new wikipedist and 190.53.225.34 is unregistered, perhaps a semi-protection will help.

Sebasbronzini (talk) 08:30, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

It looks as if recently-registered Wikipedist Theboyinlaw is not interested at all in the NPOV policy, or in a fair discussion of his stance with ideas and references -- He is a strong supporter of the coup d'etat and probably Honduran (and therefore, non-neutral), and wants to impose his point of view by the pure force of frequent reverts.
