Long March
I have some issues with this edit that I hope we can resolve and discuss.

- The main issue is that the entire passage is unsourced. WP:UNSOURCED states: "Any material lacking a reliable source directly supporting it may be removed and should not be replaced without an inline citation to a reliable source." Can you please provide a source (book, article, website, etc.) for your information?

- At one point in the first paragraph you wrote "[8]". Is the information a direct quote?

- The other issue is that the information contradicts other, sourced information. If you can give me a source for your information, I can put it into context and make some synthesis of the information.Ferox Seneca (talk) 08:13, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
