"Hero"

[edit]

I removed the mention of Aldo Rico as an "opposition leader" worthy of mention at the supposed divide between sides for and against prosecuting the genocide's responsibles; and added "citation needed" to the claim that such action was controversial at all. For a controversy to exist there must be a sizable dissenting partiality, and the words of a lone Junta-nostalgic a side don't make. Since he was being refered in that paragraph as a "Malvinas war hero", it's clear to me that its addition was made from a clear non-neutral POV.

New article?

[edit]

The bulk of the article should definitely be transferred into a new "Dirty War(Argentina)" section. --—This unsigned comment was added by Valenciano (talkcontribs) 18:21, 27 February 2006.

The title should be changed - it is a terrible offense to Argentinian History

[edit]

As has already been claimed by other users, the term "Dirty War" is highly offensive given the assymetry of the sides within the conflict. Within the article itself is a quote from Estela de Carlotto: "[That term] is a way to minimize state terrorism and is a term born outside the country. It is a totally wrong concept; there was no war, dirty nor clean." Argentinians use the term "State Terrorism" and the article should be revised. 190.190.209.118 (talk) 18:14, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My father was chased (he could escape) and 2 of my uncles were imprisoned with no trial nor motifs or proofs, in an absolute clandestine manner. They were tortured during their time in prison, fortunately they survived. The title given here should be corrected as soon as possible, it was State Terrorism. 170.210.48.100 (talk) 19:20, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The title is based on what is commonly used in English sources to describe what happened. Being "wrong" or offensive to some people does not matter, nor does what it is called in Argentine sources. It can be made clear what actually took place by what the article says, not what its title says. Roger 8 Roger (talk) 20:43, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
