Dear Sir, it would be highly appreciated if you and Kautilya wait for a discussion on article talk page before removing established (was in the article was long) referenced content that seems a little contentious. The article was read and copy-edited by four editors recently and there was no objection to the text or the reference and imho the replaced text is selective and not in neutral tone. Regards. --AmritasyaPutra 01:41, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

Don't repeat yourself. Go see the talk page. An opinion piece is not a reliable source. You needn't post here about a page that you know damn well will be on my watchlist for now. Vanamonde93 (talk) 01:47, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

Iran-Contra edit

Dear Vanamonde93,

My edit about US Reservists being ordered to leave their weapons on the field in Honduras to be picked up by waiting Contras is based upon what I was told by my brother-in-law, a former MP, who was sent to Honduras as a reservist. It was his personal relaying of what took place which is the basis of my added details.

I stand by the accuracy of my two sentences, and suspect that others could confirm same if a "request for cite" notation were to be included at the end of my two sentences.

Perhaps the following amendment could be made to the first sentence: "It has been reported that one method..."

I was appalled by what he told me after his return, and was inspired to review and suggest an edit to the Iran-Contra listing by the following article in the Washington Post:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/probe-of-silencers-leads-to-web-of-pentagon-secrets/2014/10/12/12c8d110-4fea-11e4-aa5e-7153e466a02d_story.html?tid=pm_pop

I do think that this type of information should be exposed to the light of day.

Thank you for your consideration, and with best regards,

Re. Covert United States involvement in regime change

I went ahead and removed the Syrian Civil War from the aforementioned template. I had noticed that you reverted a previous attempt at removing the current situation in Syria because foreign involvement is backed up by sources. Despite that, I still decided to carry out the edit because I don't feel the international community's involvement is particularly "covert", as it is a widely known fact that the US supports the secular rebels in overthrowing Assad. Another thing to keep in mind is that its inclusion on this template minimizes all the different facets of this revolution by chalking it up to a foreign-backed insurgency; it is too complex to be summarized with such simplicity. If you disagree with the removal, we can take it to the template's talk page and try to form a consensus with its other major contributors. I think it would help to gather more perspectives on this subject. Kurtis 14:38, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

Please stop making changes to my edits - when I am correcting them.

Please stop making changes to my edits - when I am correcting them. You can not allow statements that are provocative as proven facts when they are merely allegations. Last edit I made - is quite generous - whereby I left most of the language with citations - but corrected a couple of verbiage. You can not state an allegation as a fact - an allegation although as citation - needs to be mentioned as such - "an allegation". Please do not revert my edits anymore without responding here first — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sdmarathe (talk • contribs) 01:32, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
