* The article is longer than appropriate for a Misplaced Pages article. Would it make sense to spin off some parts into separate, topical pages?
*Expand lead section - should be 3/4 paragraphs per ]. Given the length of the article, four paragraphs would be preferred.

* 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 ])
* 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
* 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.
*Shorten abstract. Move relevant material to body of article. (intro shouldn't be so long; especially as to obscure index)
*Search for a greater variety of sources. For example, the sections wealth and US Embargo are clearly written to portray the Americans as the "good" guys, and Cubans as the "bad" guys.
* Remove POV and un-cyclopedic sources.
* Adjust wording for removal of POV.
