[edit] "Traditional" places
"Parque Vidal is probabaly one of the most traditional places in Cuba." What could this mean? I've been to Parque Vidal several times, and it's nice but is it really so different from other Cuban city squares? If so, is there any reference from these unusual customs? — MikeG (talk) 14:06, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
I was at this city square in May 2006. It didn't strike me as any different than any of the other city squares I visited in Cuba (excepting, of course, Havana's Plaza de la Revolucion. The customs referred to seem to be lost (at least they were on the day I visited). I suspect evidence of them may not exist outside of that contributor's own recollection (and maybe scattered newspapers or esoteric writings from Cuba). I won't be the one to remove it though - I think it's interesting and should stand. takethemud 17:31, 2 December 2006 (UTC) Mi
This page speaks to much about Che Guevara. Santa Clara was founded in the 1600s and is a major Cuban City. There are other articles about Che, the Battle of Santa Clara, and the Revolution.
Again, there is no need to turn this page into a Che memorial. There are links to pages that discuss these issues.
The sentence "Two important figures have long honored the grounds of the city; Marta Abreu de Estevez and Ernesto Che Guevara" is definitely a POV and insulting to Marta Abreu. While Marta is the main benefactor of the city, Che has NOTHING to do with Santa Clara. His relation is just the battle he waged in this town like he did in other parts of Cuba plus he married a local woman and later was buried here. If we are going to add characters like Che with plenty of blood in his hands, we should add General Machado born in the outskirts of Santa Clara and president of Cuba, or General Wyler who also spent some time in Santa Clara and instituted in one of its hills one of the first concentration camps in history. I propose Che is deleted and keep just the reference to Marta Abreu.Rbasnuevo 14:42, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
