 * Symbol confirmed.svg substantial, well sourced, we need to know more of those! Tweaked "a" to "the", it's not that long ago, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:53, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

I'm concerned that the phrasings used by this article may be too close to those used by sources. Compare for example "He was tried together with María Elena Aparicio, a museum employee said to be MAR's coordinator for Havana" with "He was brought to trial together with María Elena Aparicio, an employee of the Centro Nacional de Conservación y Museología, National Conservation and Museums Centres, said to be the coordinator of MAR for the city of Havana".

 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Do you find this is acceptable: "He was tried together with María Elena Aparicio. She was an employee of the Centro Nacional de Conservación y Museología (National Conservation and Museums Centres) and was regarded as the Havana coordinator of the MAR." ? Actually I would have to find out now if she still "is" (where I assumed "was"), and think it's less elegant. Help! (You are aware that the author, the voice for Human rights I know on WP, left us, and I try to at least finish what he started?) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:56, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
 * It is less elegant and does not solve the problem, unfortunately. Perhaps if you split up the facts or otherwise incorporated them with material from other sources? Nikkimaria (talk) 14:52, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Not now. I have so many things on my agenda, am not familiar with the topic, not comfortable enough in English, - I am almost ready to ask if you can do it. Or wait, please. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:41, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Um, before Gerda commented above, I had edited the subject sentence after reading several sources. It now reads "Standing trial with him was María Elena Aparicio, a museum employee and fellow MAR member who was said to be MAR's coordinator for Havana." It's unclear from the sources who "said" she was the MAR coordinator for Havana; my guess is that it was the prosecutors, but guessing isn't valid in Wikipedia. I made some additional edits, and Moonriddengirl edited some passages that I didn't address. At this point, the article is probably in pretty good shape, but it needs to be looked at again. --Orlady (talk) 06:00, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg thank you, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:05, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg ok. Tweaked one sentence. Rest good to go. Casliber (talk · contribs) 11:38, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
