This article is biased. It does not describe the reality of a country or the situation. Uses data from BBC, distorts it to present and justify a point of view of the writer of this article. You can tell a big lie, just presenting selectively the truth. Cerbero141 (talk) 02:32, 7 July 2009 (UTC) I never knew about any of this. Why doesn't the media have better coverage?[reply]

NPOV: How is this an article?

It's absolutely biased. I don't call it "original research" because it's not even research. It's a piece of propaganda by somebody with absolutely nothing better to do. dariopy (talk) 11:28, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it's clearly intended as propaganda. However, the solution for that is editing, not deletion. See Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Editing. I've provided one source. This is clearly a documented economic and environmental issue. There should be many others. Find them, and with them in hand fix the the article. Uncle G (talk) 15:24, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would say that it is not intended as propaganda, it was just written by someone who was a little too lazy to find citations for his or her statements. I am currently conducting research on the "soybean wars" and reliable sources have documented the circumstances described, including scholars published in peer-reviewed journals. However, the issue is much more prominent in alternative news media, and has barely been explored in academic circles. Do not mistake laziness for lies. Citations are needed, but the statements are at least largely true. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.9.233.63 (talk) 05:22, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

removing POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV

I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:

This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:

There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 00:39, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Soybean in Paraguay/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

I would consider first step of improving that article's quality to name it "soybean conflict" and not "soybean war" which is too sensational and really misleading. As a part time resident of Paraguay and frequent Paraguay newspape reader I have never heard that somebody called that conflict a soybean WAR, (guerra de la soja???)
