I altered that sentence about Che being a "mass murderer" because the article is heavily biased. It makes it sound like he killed Eutimio Guerra because he suspected he was a traitor, when in reality Guerra gave away the position of the rebel forces for money. This directly lead to an attack by the Cuban airforce and the destruction of rebel supportive peasant's homes. Not to mention that Che never killed children and was hardly a mass murderer.— Unsigned, by: 69.150.49.103 / talk / contribs

Che did preside over multiple mass shootings, killing political dissidents and opponents of the new regime, and summarily executed many of these people out in public to send a message to others who might feel the same. Not that Che is any worse than any of the other people in Castro's regime. 68.49.233.154 (talk) 00:09, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

The article is a bit skewed to the right, I mean it states that Che killed children or that he assassinated Camilo Cienfuegos(!), this last one being presented as a fact, even though this conspiracy theory has been debunked numerous times (it's the first time I've read it as Che being responsible though, conspiracy nuts usually blame Castro). It needs better research than just blind hatred for the man. — Unsigned, by: 71.97.132.208 / talk / contribs
Since you seem to have taken an interest in the subject, you could try to remove/modify whatever you think is being misrepresented in the article. Then you should explain what you removed/modified and why on this talk page. If you're not sure about a statement in the article, you can also add a citation tag to it, like this: { { fact } } (without the spaces inbetween), which will look like this: [citation needed]
Also, please sign your posts on talk page with four tildes at the end (there's also a signature button on the edit page that will insert the four tildes at your selected location). Thanks! Nullahnung (talk) 17:37, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
