There was a considerable period, in Miami in the 1990s, when "Mister Mas", as he liked to be called, was calling himself, and encouraging others to call him, "the next President of Cuba". As a direct result of this sort of self-promotion he was able to live remarkably well on "goodwill gifts" provided by, among others, companies in North and South America who wanted advantageous relations with the future, post-Castro, Cuban government. Not everyone was so impressed with Canosa. 11:14, 13 July 2010 (UTC) —Preceding

I've started adding citations and removing some of the more blatantly unsupported non-neutral text. Others are of course welcome to help :) -

I reverted the CANF Section. Edits made by 200.121.207.111 on 5 Feb 2014 don't make sense. It is apparent that editor 200.121.207.111 wants an article that is as "anti-Canosa" as possible.
Judging by the six edits that 200.121.207.111, he's not interested in an encyclopedia article but in reflecting his dislike for the article's subject.--

To be fair, it's clear that many sections of the article are/were puffery, and most of them lack a single citation. I suspect research would discover that they are truth-based/truth-inspired, but would also show that they were overblown. For example, no one disputes that Mr. Mas was the most influential leader of CANF, but the two citations I've put in the CANF section both suggest that Mr. Mas was a co-founder, not the sole founder as the original article implied. Both cites also suggest the Reagan administration suggested the creation of the group (though there it was no evidence it was "ordered" directly by Reagan as the IP editor suggests). In an attempt to move forward more constructively, I've commented the sections out and left a note that the truthful (and untruthful) parts should be actually improved/cited instead of the repeated revert battles. I've also started doing that myself with the CANF section and hope to add to that. -

Ridiculously hagiographic
This article is totally
hagiographic, ridiculously non-neutral and in need of a complete rewriting, even before dealing with the propagandistic language about everything Cuban.
