Helpme
I need help with the Cinco de Mayo page. It is written w/ a very slanted tone and IMO violates the WP:NOTESSAY rules. There are more details in on the Cinco de Mayo page about the Battle of Puebla than on the actual Battle of Puebla wiki page. Can I get help in neutralizing this article.

 * If you have a problem with the way the article is written, please use its talk page (i.e. Talk:Cinco de Mayo) to discuss your concerns with the other editors of this article. If discussion is impossible, there are multiple tools for dispute resolution available. If there are insufficient editors on that talk page to discuss the issues you perceive, you can use Neutral point of view/Noticeboard. Regards  So Why  17:36, 4 May 2011 (UTC)


 * I briefly looked at the page; it doesn't look terribly slanted to me, although perhaps what I've learned about Cinco de Mayo has that same slant. You are welcome to add other information to show a counterbalancing point of view, but make sure that it is well-cited. As for NOTESSAY, the page is pretty well-cited. Are there any particular bits that appear to be original research? If so, you can be bold and cite it yourself, or remove it. Be sure that, if you do remove it, you include an edit summary explaining that the parts you are removing are original research. Otherwise, that can be easily mistaken as vandalism. Regarding the Battle of Puebla, if you feel that some of the information in the Cinco de Mayo article can be used to expand the Battle of Puebla article, please do add it. However, do not remove information from the Cinco de Mayo article simply because it does not exist in the Battle of Puebla article. You should also bring up your concerns on Talk:Cinco de Mayo. – GorillaWarfare talk • contribs 17:41, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

thanks GW. I put my concerns in the discussion and rewrote the summary to paraphrase a quote in the summary. I wrote it down in the discussion. It was my contention that although well cited the references contained too many articles of opinion rather than references of fact. e.g. http://egpnews.com/?p=9337 http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2006/04/30/cinco_to_drinko_not_for_me_amigo/ Cdiasoh (talk) 18:11, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I can only see the opening paragraph of that article, so I don't really know how good it is. However, the article is from a reliable source, and is being used to cite a sentence saying that Cinco de Mayo is not a federal holiday. It doesn't appear to be inserting any of the opinion of that article into the Wikipedia article... – GorillaWarfare talk • contribs 18:15, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
