socialism of the human face

How shall we translate the slogan "socialismo del rostro humano"? Is this "socialism with a human face", like "compassionate conservatism", implying socialism was not known for being compassionate and humane? Or perhaps it is meant to imply that socialism is a more personalist type of politics. What is the real meaning of this phrase and how shall we translate it?

Not sure how I missed this before, but I reckon this is the same as Alexander Dubček's Socialism with a human face. Sondra.kinsey (talk) 21:52, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Unsupported Statements

This section is meant to be a collection of statements based on the Spanish article that have not yet been supported, and are kept here until suitable references can be found.

Many Catholic associations at the time were sympathetic to CPS notions such as the "Christian way of socialism" and "socialism of the human face."

Founding

From the article on Alfonso Carlos Comín:

"In 1973, he created the Christians for Socialism movement together with Joan N. García-Nieto, and was one of its central figures."

There's no citation given, but we should find one, and it to this article and that one. Sondra.kinsey (talk) 03:57, 10 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

es:Cristianos por el socialismo claims it began in Argentina, but Harris and Nef say it started in Chile.^[1] Sondra.kinsey (talk) 20:53, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like an interesting subject. I'll take this one on. Midnightblueowl (talk) 19:19, 29 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There are some points that certainly need addressing:

The lede is supposed to summarise the contents of the wider article. This lede doesn't do that; rather it gives the reader information that then does not appear at all in the main body. Midnightblueowl (talk) 19:28, 29 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
When mentioning Fidel Castro, we need a link and also a mention of who he is/was. Midnightblueowl (talk) 19:28, 29 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
"liberation theology" and then "Liberation Theology". Midnightblueowl (talk) 19:28, 29 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Also very problematic is the sparse use of referencing:

The second sentence in "Antecedents" is un-referenced. Midnightblueowl (talk) 19:28, 29 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like the first two sentences in "Leaders" are similarly un-referenced. Midnightblueowl (talk) 19:28, 29 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
There is a "citation needed" tag in "Suppression". Midnightblueowl (talk) 19:28, 29 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Once again, there is unreferenced material in "Gatherings". Midnightblueowl (talk) 19:28, 29 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The entirety of "Present day" is unreferenced. Midnightblueowl (talk) 19:28, 29 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The references that are used are in a jumble of different formats; that requires a level of standardisation. Midnightblueowl (talk) 19:28, 29 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, I think that the problems that this article currently faces are too significant for the article to be passed at this time, even with some minor revisions. However, I hope that that does not discourage the nominator and that they are able to act on the suggestions put forth here so that the article can be improved (and hopefully expanded) and then re-nominated at GAN at a later date.
