Hello, I want to add a section, which called "censorship" Here is my bibliography of the sources I am going to use for editing
Bibliography
Alexander, Robert J., and Eldon M. Parker. "The 1973-1985 Dictatorship." A History of Organized Labor in Uruguay and Paraguay. Westport, CT: Praeger, 2005. 72-73. Google Books. Web. 22 Oct. 2016.
It discussed the tension between government and press media. The press was deeply censored by the government. However,the press still tried their best to gain independence from the government control. And there were considerable counterforces in the society that tried to free their people.
Delgado, Mario. "Uruguay: Against Reason." Index on Censorship 8.1 (1979): 49. Taylor and Francis Online. Web. 24 Oct. 2016.
In this journal article, it continued discussing education censorship on students. The government passed a general education law to restrict the autonomy of education councils. It established a central council which solely based on a political alliance. Under this law, the freedom of intellectual right was heavily restricted, forcing all students to prioritize political obedience before objectivity of learning.
Francesca Lessa, and Pierre-Louis Le Goff. "A Silent Anniversary in Uruguay?" Al Jazeera. Al Jazeera, 27 June 2013. Web. 24 Oct. 2016.
In the newspaper article, it reflected on the past dictatorship in today’s point of view. People in Uruguay are calling for a national day of memory to those who fought against silence in the past. This news article can serve as the ending section in my wiki article by using it to present how today’s people think of the darkest period in Uruguay’s history.
Gregory, Stephen. "The Revenge of the Foreign." Intellectuals and Left Politics in Uruguay, 1958-2006. Brighton: Sussex Academic, 2009. 88-90. Google Book. Web. 24 Oct. 2016.
In this chapter of the book, it supplemented my source on various writers who fought against the strict censorship during the dictatorship. From looking at the work they published and how the government oppressed public opinions fiercely, this source can deepen my understanding on this serious censorship back then.
Jones, Derek. "Uruguay." Censorship: A World Encyclopedia. London: Fitzroy Dearborn, 2001. 2544-546. Google Book. Web. 24 Oct. 2016.
In this Encyclopedia, the author gave a comprehensive history of censorship during the civic-military dictatorship period. It mentioned the suppress of student demonstration, heavily censorship on any form of art, entertainment, and press. Most importantly, this source can serve as a complement of my other sources on the press censorship. It gives more details on how government blocked the press information to a severe extent.
Lessa, Francesca, and Leigh A. Payne. "Barriers to Justice: The Ley De Caducidad and Impunity in Uruguay." Amnesty in the Age of Human Rights Accountability: Comparative and International Perspectives. Cambridge: Cambridge UP, 2012. 125-26. Google Books. Web. 22 Oct. 2016.
In this book, it discussed how the government started censoring education system and imposing traditional values and patriotism to children. They used censored textbook in school, forcing children to receive “moral and civic education” and grading children’s performance by their faith to government.
Müller, Beate. "Performing the Unspeakable: Defeating Censorship in Two Stories by Mario Benedetti." Censorship & Cultural Regulation in the Modern Age. Amsterdam: Rodopi, 2004. 172-85. Google Books. Web. 22 Oct. 2016.
It discussed how censorship was being institutionalized by the government during the civic-military dictatorship from 1970s to 1985. Censorship infiltrated into every expect of people’s public and private space. Fear to speak up created silence in society. The book brought up one of the most famous writers in Uruguay, Mario Benedetti. He reflected many truthful thoughts and critiques in his works, which can be seen as a valuable resource for me to back up the argument of strict censorship during this Civic-military dictatorship.
Schumacher, Edward. "Wait goes on for Uruguayan who fell out of step." The New York Times. The New York Times, 12 Feb. 1984. Web. 24 Oct. 2016.
In this news article, it reveals the political tension during the dictatorship. Many politicians were sentenced to jail. Those politicians were called as “Prisoners of Conscience”. They were convicted for being activists who organized protests against government’s censorship. It is stunning to see that the government regard those activists as terrorists and torture them harshly before putting them in jail.
Schumacher, Edward. "Uruguayan Public Discontent Spurs Crackdown on Dissent." The New York Times. The New York Times, 16 Jan. 1984. Web. 25 Oct. 2016.
In this news article, it reflected the tight censorship in 1980s. The government ban suspected leftists from participation in politics and developed a computerized ranking for every citizen’s ideological loyalty. Discontents spread to every corner of the society, and the protests on censorship grew stronger than ever.
Sosnowski, Saúl, and Louise B. Popkin. "On Suffering, Song, and White Horses." Repression, Exile, and Democracy: Uruguayan Culture. Durham: Duke UP, 1993. 120-22. Google Books. Web. 24 Oct. 2016.
In this book, it illustrated the censorship on music and radio station. At the beginning, the government did not censor much on music. The radio stations or writers would receive written notice from the police, but it was not serious. However, after some representative writers and staffs who worked for the station went to jail, the radio station started self-censorship. Subversive songs began to strictly censor by the government.
The Associated Press. "Survey Shows That Restrictions on News Media in Major Countries in Latin America Have Increased." The New York Times. The New York Times, 8 Oct. 1972. Web. 25 Oct. 2016.
In this news article, it reported the past media censorship on Tupamaro. Any report that related to Tupamaro needed to be drawn from government sources. And starting from 1972, the government started to imprison newsman, editors and publishers who are not abide government rules.

Feedback[edit]
Nice start on your article draft. Your work needs some copyediting - there are missing spaces before the first word of sentences, and some grammatical oddities. You should add links to other articles, and remove spaces before references.
