I see that in 2006, Forbes ranked Castro as #7 on a list richest heads of state. May we mention this? I do not wish to bother if it has already been edited out.

Fidel Castro was a member and supporter of the Partido Auténtico before he came to power - this is important as he indicated why he had a wider base than Cuban Marxism-Leninism. Perhaps that should be listed? <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 14:02, 27 August 2023 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

To do

Join WikiProject atheism and be bold.

Be consistent

  • Use a "standard" layout for atheism-related articles (see layout style, "The perfect article" and Featured articles).
  • Add Atheism info box to all atheism related talk pages (use {{WikiProject Atheism}} or see info box)
  • Ensure atheism-related articles are members of Atheism by checking whether ] has been added to atheism-related articles – and, where it hasn't, adding it.

Maintenance, etc.

Articles to improve

Create

  • Articles on notable atheists


Expand

Immediate attention

  • State atheism needs a reassessment of its Importance level, as it has little to do with atheism and is instead an article about anti-theist/anti-religious actions of governments.
  • False choice into False dilemma: discuss whether you are for or against this merge here
  • Clarify references in Atheism using footnotes.
  • Secular movement defines it as a being restricted to America in the 21st century.

"Around his waist, he often carried a 9mm Browning pistol in a brown leather holster with three additional clips"

The the browning uses Magazines, not clips.

Change Clip to Magazine

Random Sentence

What is this sentence, "The publication "Forbes" valued the inheritance left by the former Cuban leader, Fidel Castro, at approximately 900 million dollars." doing at the end of the youth section? It doesn't relate at all with the sentence before and feels extremely disconnected. Cheesesprite (talk) 06:35, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

The 900 million dollar estimate is mentioned three times in the article. Someone must think it is important. Burrobert (talk) 11:05, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

"dictator, marxist" in opening sentence?

I ask YMVD to discuss their desired changes to the opening sentence here rather than edit warring. Per policy, The responsibility for achieving consensus for inclusion is on those seeking to include disputed content. Generalrelative (talk) 03:55, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
