stomach cancer?

Can this be attributed? Word on the street here in Tijuana is that don Jesús died from other complications. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.160.133.6 (talk) 22:59, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

"In 1980, Blancornelas and co-founded the weekly magazine Zeta." - and who?
"Their courageous example in the face of adversity – and the murder of 48 journalists – is said to be inspirational.[33]" - the underlined is weasily. Suggest rewording. --Tomcat (7) 20:40, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I believe I've fixed these. In both instances, the sentences appeared to me simply extraneous: one an accidental redundancy, the second an expendable mention of Blancornelas's inspirational qualities. If ComputerJA disagrees, though, I'm fine with some form of them going back in. Khazar2 (talk) 22:03, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think your fixes are fine, Khazar2. Thanks! ComputerJA (talk) 23:13, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
