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. [1]

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)Reply

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)Reply

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)Reply

 This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

in the introduction it says that Castro's Government "Advanced Economic and Social Justice" this does not make sense and just sounds kind of wrong, would suggest changing it his government made "Economic and Social Justice Advancements" Redjarvis (talk) 18:45, 12 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Not done: I think the current text is clearer than the suggested replacement. PianoDan (talk) 19:42, 12 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
