6th Summit of the Americas

• ( Back to T:TDYK
• Article history )

• ... that the Presidents of Ecuador and Nicaragua Rafael Correa and Daniel Ortega, respectively, boycotted the 6th Summit of the Americas?

• Reviewed: Pavlo Kurtik
• Comment: article is 5x expanded as of now. There are also many possible DYK hooks that maybe of more interest such as the legalisation of drugs, Cuba, Falkland islands and even the US secret service agents who were sent home for partaking in prostitution (not in article yet)

• 16px On the whole a very well written article. A 5x expansion was completed on April 14, and the article is plenty long enough! The article has a number of tags that need resolving: a "Which?" tag in the Background section, and "Citation needed" tags in both Security and Delegation leaders. The article also suffers slightly from varying tenses: I suspect when the summit finished not everything was picked up on. A couple of examples are in the lead: "The central theme of the summit is "Connecting.." and Delegation leaders "Ecuador will not be attending the summit.." There likely to be further instances in the article. Spotchecks reveal no evidence of copyvio or close paraphrasing. Harrias ^talk 12:22, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

Removed the security part as it was dubiously added in the early days. Seems like that was the only tense problem. Also reomved the confusing stateent copied from last summit. Should be good now.Lihaas (talk) 20:55, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

• 16px I've cleaned up a few little things, and the article is now good to go. Harrias ^talk 21:11, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
