Cleaning up

I will be updating and cleaning the page soon. If you have any suggestions, links, photos etc., I would be much obliged if you put it here on the talk page for me to include. Akumiszcza (talk) 05:31, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

Cuba and moon landing conspiracies

There is much to be said about Cuba and its government, but their curriculum puts much emphazise on science and technology, and I find it very hard to believe that they would teach such a ridiculous conspiracy theory, and if they do, certainly someone can provide a better source than this:

 "I'm told that this is official dogma still taught in schools in Cuba, plus wherever else Cuban teachers have been sent (such as Sandinista Nicaragua and Angola)." 

So essentially this guy has met someone, perhaps a drunk in a bar, who told him that Cuban schools teach that the Moon landings were a hoax. Great reference, huh?

If this was true, certainly there would be thousands of exile Cubans around the world who could verify it? This statement has been here for many years now, but unless a real source is found, it should be deleted. Or at least changed so that it is clear from the wording that it's Oberg's claim and not a proven fact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.113.91.64 (talk) 08:54, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

I agree that, if it's not adequately sourced, then it ought to be removed. But, on the same principle, the unsourced allegation, "So essentially this guy has met someone, perhaps a drunk in a bar,...", ought not be so sloppily supposed. Unsourced means unsourced. It doesn't mean that you get to presume to know what the source is, namely a disposable inebriate, without criticism.
