Has the image on the top been deleted (due to copyright uncertainty)? Shall we use the other image to replace it? – Kaihsu 10:07, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

I have done so. Feel free to revert if appropriate. – Kaihsu 10:08, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

132.236.75.65 17:06, 1 November 2006 (UTC) The section of this article regarding Uribe's initial policy is highly inaccurate and imprecise. The data provided regarding the ratio of prisoners held captive by both groups is is not only wrong but heavily marked by a political affinity. The high rate of success of the GAULA group, supposedly supported by official statics, is false. It is surprising to find such a flawed article in a website that usually manages politic issues so impartially. I hope, considering the gravity of the subject, a more objective writer will correct it.

I think your comment have more political affinity that the original section. GAULA antiterror group indeed have a high rate of success, specially in these firsts months of 2007 when a full assault was launched in order to rescue hostage. Unless you have a source that isn`t related to both sides, neither the government neither the fucking guerillas--ometzit<col> 16:15, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Latest image

I have put this to the top but the caption has been swallowed, help would be appreciated. This current pic and very moving clearly should be in the opening to let our readers know what she looks like now. Thanks, SqueakBox 20:02, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

I have fixed the caption. Mushroom (Talk) 20:16, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Yeah I saw. Thanks, SqueakBox 20:17, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Non-Neutral

The following sentence obviously has anti-FARC-EP messages in it: "facing the floor on a dirty green guerrilla uniform gown" Thus i have changed it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.88.200.107 (talk) 18:58, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] inline links suck

Contributors to this article have been careless and have used a lot of inline references. Most of these links have expired.

When you don't supply the publication, date, title, author, other contributors can't look for mirrors, or replacements, when the inline link goes dead. Other contributors can't even guess at what the link was about.

I urge contributors to use <ref>{{cite | url= | title= | publisher= | author= | date= | accessdate= }}</ref>, or reasonable equivalent.

Heh, that's an understatement for such a big media story. I'll try to fix a few. Joshdboz (talk) 23:59, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
