I have been editing this article for a few days. I ran down through the article and fixed any grammer mistakes I could find. I would appreciate any suggestions on what to do and how I can really improve it further. Thanks a lot. [[User:Mr. Killigan|Mr. Killigan]] 06:17, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Ramón Mestre (San Juan, August 29, 1937 — Córdoba, March 6, 2003) was an Argentine politician. He was [[Governor of Córdoba]] from July 12, 1995 to July 12, 1999, as well as serving as Federal Interventor of Correintes state (December 16, 1999 to March, 20 2001. He was also Minister of the Interior (from March 20, 2001 to December 21, 2001), as well as Major of Córdoba (from December 1983 to December 1991).

There are a number of areas to work on, at this point; keep in mind, though, that this is a very high-profile article, so you should be careful to move slowly and carefully to avoid getting entangled in any editorial conflicts here.

A disciple of Cordoba governor [[Justo Paez Molina]], Mestre began his political career as a member of the Radical Civic Union Party (Unión Cívica Radical or UCR). He entered Paez Molina government after a career in the Student Unión Organizations while studying in the University of Córdoba Dentistry School. In the Córdoba Paez Molina Government he was Health Secretary (1964) and Governor Chief of Staff (1965). After the 1966 Militar Coup d'état that overthrew President Illia's National Government and Paez Molina mandate, he work as a dentist in the private field. From 1973 to 1976 he was Córdoba State Representant and chief of Group during a period.

* <s>The article is, in my opinion, simply too long; we're looking at 72K (~12,000 words) of prose. The "Legacy" section, in particular, is ripe for splitting out into a separate [[Legacy of the Korean War]] article, with a much shorter summary left in the main one.</s>

* <s>"Korean War (1950 – 1953)" should really be something like "Course of the war"; you probably don't want to repeat the article title as a section heading.</s>

* The citations need cleanup; at a minimum, all of the embedded external links should be converted to footnotes. There are also a number of "citation needed" tags floating around. Beyond that, more thorough citation would be appropriate throughout the article; see [[WP:MILHIST#CITE]] for some guidelines.

* <s>The "Depictions" section should be turned into prose, rather than a laundry list of films; see also [[WP:MILHIST#POP]].</s>

* <s>The "Names" section, as it's presently constituted, would work much better as a narrow sidebar; it's of some interest, but I doubt there's enough material to sustain a separate section.</s>

* <s>The "See also" section should be eliminated. If something isn't worth linking from the text, it's generally not worth linking at all. </s>

* <s>The rump "Bibliography" section should be removed as well.</s>

* The "External links" section could use trimming.

Hope that helps! [[User:Kirill Lokshin|Kirill]] 04:08, 13 July 2007 (UTC)<s>cool</s>
