Source #3 is doubtful at best

[edit]

Yoani Sanchez has been known to lie about life in Cuba to slander the Castro government, while there certainly may be problems she has painted Cuba as a living hell. I suggest finding a better source, because crediting 90% of a list like this to a single girl, an emotionally clouded political blogger whose writings have been debunked before, is not exactly Wikipedia quality material. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.134.204.247 (talk) 12:51, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I have been to Cuba several times and talked to Cubans, as well as following Yoani's blog Generation Y, and I find her analysis to be lacking in both context and neutrality. She writes from the perspective of somebody who has developed a deep sense of self-pity over the state of her home country, in which she no longer actually lives. Regardless of the true terror inflicted by the Cuban state, I would recommend finding a trustworthy source. If no credible sources are found (this message was posted over a year ago!) then maybe we should shorten the list to verifiable instances. I am however in no way familiar with wikipedia policy regarding the credibility of sources. 82.134.248.55 (talk) 12:15, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

-- Kaysone Phomvihane -- Former leader of Laos also got the Order. Could someone add him to the list please? https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Kaysone_Phomvihane — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:FB1:13A:52FB:FD23:B865:C677:A8F4 (talk) 08:11, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
