Talk:Ferdinand Marcos/FAQ

Q1: Why does the opening describe Ferdinand Marcos Sr. as a dictator and a kleptocrat?

A1: Several discussions have already been held, with the consensus being that reliable sources support that Ferdinand Marcos Sr. was a kleptocrat and a dictator. Wikipedia is written in a neutral point of view and facts overrule personal views and opinions. As such, Wikipedia does not censor nor whitewash these facts, regardless of the other works and accomplishments of Ferdinand Marcos Sr.

The prior discussions can be found here:

• Talk:Ferdinand Marcos/Archive 5 § Discussion on improvements to the lede per the WP:BRD process
• Talk:Ferdinand Marcos § Consistency with Wikipedia's use of the term "kleptocrat"
• Talk:Ferdinand Marcos § RfC for the use of the term "kleptocrat" in Wikivoice on a political figure

Any change to these titles will require a new consensus to be reached on the talk page.

Q2: Why does this article use Rappler as a source of information?

A2: Rappler is considered a reliable source according to the consensus of multiple discussions about Rappler on the reliable sources noticeboard (see discussions 1, 2, and 3). This however, does not include Rappler's Voices section, which contains crowdsourced opinion pieces. As such, articles from Rappler's other sections do not pose any issues with the article's neutral point of view or Wikipedia's policy on original research.
