Re: "The Zapatista Struggle Continues (1994– )" section[edit]

This is a very oddly structured section that gives very little actual detail on the subject matter, instead listing numerous events that Marcos has attended, without any further context being given. The sources cited are also largely from the Enlace Zapatista, which should be clear is not a reliable source. I think this subsection needs to be completely redone in order to provide actual information about Marcos' activities post-1994, possibly changing the heading to something more appropriate, or else it should be removed entirely. --Grnrchst (talk) 16:24, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am the author of this section. My purpose was to produce a brief picture of all the events that Marcos took part in so as to show the extent of his role as spokesperson and (for want of a better word) "front man" for the Zapatistas. I take the point made by Grnrchst, in that the purpose of this section is perhaps not made clear, so I intend to alter that in a week or so, but I feel that entirely removing the whole section is too much (throwing the baby out with the bathwater indeed!). Finally, I see no problem with the source (stated above as being Enlace Zapatista) as what is listed here are simple facts (dates, venues, event names), and these are all attested to by other sources (most often journalists reporting in La Jornada) and are not contested by anyone. Lucerito1957 (talk) 06:20, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have now completed the rewrite of the introduction to this section. Lucerito1957 (talk) 07:58, 26 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I see that this section was deleted despite my above justification for writing (and re-writing) it. Since Grnrchst (talk) did not engage in the discussion above, but simply waited a while and then deleted this section, I have re-instated it. However, to address the concerns of Grnrchst (talk) I have moved the actual list of events to an Appendix.
Without this section on the Zapatista struggle continuing, a reader would have no idea of what Marcos did in the nearly 20 years from 1995 to now. Worse, it would give the impresion he had been inactive, when nothing could be further from the truth.
As for sources, these have been added, but there is really no doubt that these events took place. Enlace Zapatista may not be a neutral source, but it contains photographs and recordings from these events, proving that they actually took place and that Marcos was present, which is all that is being claimed in the article. Lucerito1957 (talk) 01:05, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, apologies, I didn't see this. I agree that the article does need to be something to display Marcos' recent activities, but I still don't think this list is it. While its purpose is clearer, it still doesn't communicate actual solid information about his activities, it just lists events he showed up to. What level of participation did he have? What did he say about them? Why were these events important to his biography? These are the kind of things I don't think are easily communicated in a simple list. I'm happy to leave this up for now, until a better alternative section can be written, but I think this is a case where using prose would be a lot more helpful for the reader than a timeline. --Grnrchst (talk) 10:51, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The list is not simply of "events Marcos showed up to". As the preamble makes clear, it is a list of events that were either convened by the Zapatistas and where Marcos played a major role by presiding over them and often initiating, organizing, or orchestrating them, or were put on by other organizations at which Marcos acted as representative of and spokesperson for, the Zapatistas. I feel it gives a snapshot of the sheer amount of such activities and endeavors undertaken by Marcos on behalf of the Zapatistas, which in turn gives an insight into his importance within the movement. If you feel this is still not satisfactory, I am happy to discuss this further. Henck’s Subcomandante Marcos, Global Rebel Icon contains a quite thorough timeline of such events up to 2018 that the reader here could instead be pointed to after a short prose discussion. Lucerito1957 (talk) 11:26, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Name Change?[edit]

Galleano no longer goes by the name Marcos, as is noted in the article. Would a name change for the page be warranted and instead a redirect from Subcomandante Marcos to Subcomandante Insurgente Galleano be implemented? JBrahms (talk) 13:17, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Court case?[edit]

The article says that there was an arrest warrant for him. I gather he was never arrested, and was never charged, and never taken to court. Is that right? Would it be possible to clarify this in the article? Jack Upland (talk) 22:16, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Death[edit]

as per the communique published last year, sup Galeano (prior Marcos) has died in october of 2023. Additionally, the communique is signed as "Capitan Insurgente Marcos". The cause is not mentioned in the text. Possible post-mortem title change?

See [7]. It doesn't seem he's actually dead. It's just symbolic.--Jack Upland (talk) 23:26, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Appendix[edit]

Moving this section from the article to this talk page for safe-keeping. It's possible this can be used as a timeline of some sort but it would need to be sourced to reliable, secondary sources if note worthy. It's currently mostly sourced to unreliable and primary sources.
