* The article is longer than appropriate for a Misplaced Pages article. Would it make sense to spin off some parts into separate, topical pages?
* fix word "despose" - it should be "depose"

* Improve the Embargo section
* Is Castro alive or dead? (I know he was very ill) I recommend to change the "summary box" on the right side of his page to start with "Born xxxx" and either "Died xxxx" or "Present age, xxxx", as is done for many other personalities. Otherwise, I hunt through the entire article and still find nothing conclusive.
* Get a peer review
* Remove material well represented elsewhere - ie. much of the Foreign relations material. (see ])
* Remove or reword material stating that "Castro repelled the Bag of Pigs invaders" or "Castro was forced to shut down 118 factories" - these were Cuban military and government actions.
* Add a survey of what "rank" Castro was during famous military actions -- has he always been ''comandante''? what were the insignia on his lapels or epaulets, when he wore such things?
* "External links" section must be cleaned up and better categorized
* Remove "struggle for power" weasel formulations, this misleads into thinking that the only reason for the Cuban revolutionaries was "lust for power", while in fact they '''say''' they had a social patos against the Batista regime (believe it or not).
* Change "...as part of their own global political game." to "...as part of their own global political agenda." in the fourth paragraph.
* Change "President of Cuba" to "Dictator of Cuba".
* '''Fix discrepancy of Fidel Castro's letter to FDR. He was born in Aug 1926 but the letter is dated Nov 1940, which means he was 14 when he wrote it. But in the letter and the caption it says he is 12.'''
