Will start soon.--Tomandjerry211 (alt) (talk) 18:03, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • External links are good
  • No DABs.
  • Lead is a bit too short. I think you expand it a bit.
  • I would like to see more sources added to the article.
  • Note marriage in the prose and (probably) in the lead.

More comments later.--Tomandjerry211 (alt) (talk) 18:18, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Several hundred prisoners were killed..., "several hundred" should be replaced with "two hundred" because it said 1,400 men were sent to Cuba and 1200 were imprisoned.
  • Link Cuba, lung cancer, CIA, espionage, and Soviet Union.--Tomandjerry211 (alt) (talk) 18:34, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment:I’ve expanded the introduction, added two sources, added a section about Miskovsky’s marriage in the article, corrected the law school title, clarified the number of Cuban insurgents killed and added wikilinks as appropriate. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 07:10, 18 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Few more comments:

Two curious omissions

[edit]

His CIA biographical summary makes no mention of Frederic Pryor, while the movie Bridge of Spies makes no mention of Milan C. Miskovsky. Are their any reliable sources that might clarify either of these curious omissions, as well as whether they might somehow be connected? Tlhslobus (talk) 01:00, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bridge of Spies was a film that took artistic licenses to tell a compelling story; this is incredibly common in film-making which is why we generally do not use Hollywood as sources for historical articles. As for Pryor, the CIA page gave a brief summary and is routinely supplemented with other sources in the article. Its incredibly rare for a single source to say everything that needs to be said about an article topic, so I’m not particularly concerned here.
