Shouldn't this section be on international law, rather than US domestic politics?Keith-264 (talk) 13:11, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
I have removed the parenthetical from the paragraph about the journalist. I don't particularly care if it's true or not; it's not supported by the provided source, which nowhere says anything about tanks.
I have removed the wording from the same paragraph calling it a "lawsuit". Again, this is not supported by the source. The word "sue" does not necessitate that it be a "lawsuit". For something to be a lawsuit, it needs to involve a court of law. If it does not involve a court of law, it is not a lawsuit. Thus the "law" in "lawsuit".
If these changes are undone without providing sufficient sourcing, I will undo them. If this results in an edit war I will happily go to ANI.Timothyjosephwood (talk) 02:04, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
Any opinions on moving the list of US units to a separate location? It adds a lot of length that isn't really needed, especially since the bulk of units aren't notable in and of themselves. Niteshift36 (talk) 16:56, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
So what would you like to discuss about it Glrx? You've reverted twice in a short period of time and given me a bogus 3RR warning, but you've failed to express why you think the term needs removed. I asked you to discuss and you dodged it by claiming that "the way it works" is that I have to start the discussion. Fine, here it is.....this is where you can discuss why you've reverted twice without explaining why it needs removed in either deletion. Niteshift36 (talk) 21:03, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

A non-notable author named Stewart Brewer wrote a non-notable book called "Borders and Bridges: A History of U.S.-Latin American Relations" Why are we giving an entire paragraph to his opinion? There are many non-notable people who have written non-notable books that are still reliable sources. Why does this man merit inclusion over any of those? Why is his POV being given that weight?

The infobox cites page 6 of Ronald H. Cole's Operation Just Cause: The Planning and Execution of Joint Operations in Panama for the claim that Cuba, Nicaragua and Libya provided "Weapons and advisors" to Panama in the conflict. The source does not support this claim. It says that in the years leading up to the war Libya provided economic assistance to Panama in exchange for military access, while Cuba and Nicaragua provided weapons and military advisors.
While it is possible that those weapons and military advisors were involved in this particular conflict, the source does not say so, and it is misleading to include them without a source to support the claim; otherwise, it makes it seems like Cuba and Nicaragua actively supported Panama in the conflict, when that may not necessarily have been the case. --Joshua Issac (talk) 17:54, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
The 37 TFW never had the F-117 stealth fighter, and was in the start of selling all their F-4's in 1989, when the invasion started. The base was decommissioned in 1991. The link in the article actually goes to the 37th Training Wing, not a fighter wing. Also, the 7th AMU from Holloman AFB took several F-15's there, which is not listed. I know, because people I worked with at the 7th went, I was supposed to go the next day on the second wave, but we weren't needed. MacD723 (talk) 17:52, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
