Veneered ?

The picture caption says that she is veneered (originally venered)! She not a piece of furniture! I guess they meant venerated - but that sounds too religious to me. I'll make it revered. -- Beardo 20:42, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

She was Fidel's wife

I think it is a little over the top in terms of formality to put "rumoured to be lovers". Every single Cuban knows, and it is no state secret, that she was Castro's wife, also his secretary. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rasmus Sonderriis (talk • contribs) 20:53, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

She was the founder of the 26th of July Movement in Manzanillo. ad formed.

Not sure what the second part of this was meant to be. Fotoguzzi (talk) 02:54, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Possible Edits to the Article

LizbethAcevedo21 (talk) 05:25, 18 October 2019 (UTC) Some of the edits that I would like to add are mostly towards the expansion of her early life as well as her contributions towards the Cuban Revolution, which involved her close relationship with Fidel Castro and other women. I feel that most of the article undervalues her accomplishments and the amount of danger she put herself through in order to see a successful Cuba. I think I also suggest omitting the possible rumor of her being Castro's lover/wife since it diminishes her actual role within the Cuban government. I would keep the legacy section since it demonstrates Castro's and the country's appreciation for her hard work. The biography, in general, needs more information since it barely touches what she did and continued to do after the revolution. I would also edit the articles chosen as some are repeated. Below are some of the book chapter/journal articles that mention a bit more about her early life as a child and her revolutionary contribution throughout her life.[reply]

Re: Possible Edits

From reading your proposed edits, I feel that your included sources and newfound emphasis on her contributions to the Revolution and her influence on policy on post-Batista Cuba. The article undeniably suffers from its focus on the broader Revolution and her ties to Castro rather than Sánchez herself. I might recommend pulling from the Spanish language article on her, as it's far more detailed than the English counterpart in several places, though considering I'm not familiar with how well-versed you are in Spanish, this might be an unfair suggestion for me to make. My only real gripe is with the early life section mentioning her neurosis twice. The content you added is very good but it could benefit from more concise language. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kvanhoutengudger21 (talk • contribs) 22:17, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
