G-Day! ''It's taken on a darker tone''. What I am referring to is the '''ethical''' and '''moral''' issues involved in creating a feel good article about a man who allowed '''mass arrests/torture''' & '''mass murders''' (100 000 plus). Granted during the cold war he was portrayed as a hero (that was such a long time ago), however this is not the whole truth. Then we have editors surporting the article & finaly an admin who just don't get involved '''???''' What is going on at Wiki? Not very encyclopedic that's for sure. What if there was a feel good article on Stalin or Hitler? So do you think our article is nearly finish? On a lighter note, these days I am going for the preservative free wine.

: Gday! I had too much ordinary wine last night. I think the article has some way to go, in terms of more fact checking, more context and a bit more of a thread, particularly an active comparison to Wikipedia. E.g "Here are the facts as recognised by mainstream historians, here is how Wikipedia presents it, and here is why". Actually Wikipedia does a reasonably good job where there are enough experts to represent the mainstream view. In this case, there is one guy or two who completely control that set of articles. The administration never do anything because their job is to control behaviour. Also most administrators have hardly any education, I don't know if you realise that. PS sorry I haven't been able to help more - if you look at my contributions you see I am loading my old website onto MWB after Googlepages deleted all of it.

:: Yes, you have been busy. Thanks for the feedback. ''"Also most administrators have hardly any education, I don't know if you realise that."'' I noticed that something wasn't right, but couldn't quite pin point it. I thought that the place was run mostly by young teenagers. So I wasn't far of, I think. That would explain some of it.

: They have changed it to 'Google Sites' the purpose of which is to prevent uploading of html files. You can only do it by using their editor and copying and pasting so, stuff that, I have moved in here.
