Talk:Carlos Mesa

Untitled

I have added an NPOV notice because of some of the language used in this article. Terms such as, meager, ethnic Spanish-European élite minority, and plundered, do not denote a neutral point of view.

I removed meager because it is largely untrue — royalites in a standard U.S. contract between the producing company and the owner of mineral rights in a private setting (fee simple or mineral deed holder) calls for a 12.5% royalty. It is my understanding that this is pretty much standard generally. "Meager" is in the eye of the beholder, and in this case, probably not literaly true, although admittedly the Bolivian masses could be expected to care very little about how things are done elsewhere. We should also keep in mind that the proper term for the development of natual resources, partcularly hydrocarbon reserves, is exploitation, which sounds completely POV as well, even when it is not, in this context. Somehow I contemplate that what will happen now will eventually be attempts to exploit the gas by a governmental corporation which will result in less overall revenue than the 18% royalty from private businesses would have, unless there are some really great and really patriotic Bolivian petroleum engineers, a topic of which I have no knowledge.

Not necessarily. A state-owned corporation would still exploit the gas in cooperation with foreign enterprises. This is the way it is done in many countries in the ME and Venezuela. The important thing is that the state enterprise can demand better terms. -- Viajero | Talk 11:53, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Vandalism

There has been quite a bit of vandalism on this page. Maybe it should be semi-protected. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by DanielBeaver (talk • contribs) 05:34, 24 January 2007 (UTC).

Current activities?

It would be great if there was a section detailing his life post-presidency. Wingedbeaver (talk) 21:47, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

Removing recent events from the lead

Because the body of the article only includes information up to 2005, I've removed anything that took place after 2005 from the lead. The lead is a summary of the body. Any new information should first be added to the body of the article (with the support of reliable sources) before the lead is changed. Red Rock Canyon (talk) 15:14, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

Bolivian spokesman before the ICJ - NPOV

"Leaving behind animosity" is a subjective declaration. If it is a quote he made, then it needs to be cited as a quote. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eshaparvathi (talk • contribs) 15:27, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

OAS / CEPR / MIT

MIT specifically states that they want it clarified that this study was independent of MIT, that it should be referred to as a CEPR study and that MIT does not endorse it. MIT says that "while they are employees" the CEPR study they did was as independent contractors for CEPR. That is very specifically saying MIT does not want their name on this.

The information about the "MIT" study, besides being wrong isn't really relevant to this page. That issue is better addressed on pages specific to the elections. Laella (talk) 10:13, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
