July 2005[edit]

All this article is inexact... Ericd 22:32, 22 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I added the "Disputed" and "unreferenced" templates to reflect this. Gsp 23:20, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

What is inexact? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.86.113.202 (talk • contribs) 00:01, 21 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Have a look to the date. Since this comment I've almost entirely rewritten the article. Ericd 08:44, 21 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Far right activism[edit]

There's is no doubt that Spaggiari was a far right sympathizer and had far-right friends but was he activist ? Excuse me if I misundertand English but what were his political activities ? Ericd 19:34, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

In this context I don't think that activism necessarily means political activism. He was actively engaging in pro-right terrorist and government organizations, which, according to the definition (guerilla-fighting is a form of activism, for example) would make him an activist. However, I do think the term activist might be a bit too general. Stefan Jansen 19:54, 1 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was mostly thinking about his OAS activities. As it seems now well estabhished that he also worked for the CIA I think it applies. Ericd 22:20, 1 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

just have a look on this:[1] it proves that he was working for the DINA, the secret service of Chili in 70's. It is also very well known that Spaggiari has visited Miami in the begining of 76, before his robbery, to meet exiled cubans; he did not worked alone, and was probably working for the CIA at this time...I can give you more information if you like...

Date of Birth[edit]

In the french wikipedia, the year when Spaggiari was born is 1933. Which one is right? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.224.170.206 (talk • contribs) 20:13, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

June 2009[edit]

Spaggiari non è mai stato nella Legione straniera francese. --80.104.22.164 (talk) 11:45, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

According to Google Translate, the above contributor said, Spaggiari has never been in the French Foreign Legion. — Fourthords | =Λ= | 01:03, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Is this a real article or a piece from the National Enquirer[edit]

Sections which mention people who are likely to be alive making allegations about them must have actual sourcing. Not zero sourcing. I left in the other gossip. Collect (talk) 16:43, 19 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Neo-Nazism Template[edit]

How is the template for Neo-Nazism relevant to this article? Adverseify (talk) 00:11, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's included because this article is listed within. As for why that is, that would be a question for the folks at Template talk:Neo-Nazism. — Fourthords | =Λ= | 01:03, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
