5/1 Revision

Mostly I cleaned up grammar and miscellaneous wording stuff. However, I did delete the sentence:
Few Communist regimes are military dictatorships, and controlling the military so that it cannot challenge the party has been a persistent concern of these regimes.
Not because it was innacurate or controversial, but because it is basically repeated later in the article and it destroys the flow of the article where it was.

Latin America and Cold War

The end of the Cold War didn't had much to do with the end of military dictatorships in Latin America. By the time Gorbachev started his government, there weren't that many dictators in Latin America and the fact the remaining few became democracies had a lot more to do with internal problems than external. For example, in Brazil the slow democratization process started way back in the 70s.

Possible false info?

Did something happen recently to Canada, or is this info false?

-:Wikipedia has rules about [[WP:OR|original research]]. We don't get to decide on our own what all of the current military dictatorships are. Similar lists of dictatorships are typically deleted.

-Most of the list was supported by sources, the list should be restored, though perhaps without a list of current dictatorships. -- [[Special:Contributions/2804:248:FB21:1700:8956:EFAC:33C6:12A4|2804:248:FB21:1700:8956:EFAC:33C6:12A4]] ([[User talk:2804:248:FB21:1700:8956:EFAC:33C6:12A4|talk]]) 02:25, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
-:The section was entirely unsourced. Even if there were inline sources for each item on the list, "military dictatorship" is both contentious and subjective, so it would require very strong sourcing to a much higher standard. There's a general consensus that lists of dictatorships are not viable and they are routinely deleted.

-== Questionable content ==
-"The military nominally seeks power to restore order or fight corruption, but the personal motivations of military officers may include greater funding for the military or a decrease in civilian control of the military."
-Really? A military dictatorship is the exact opposite of [[civilian control of the military]]. I don't think this text does justice to the varied reasons that military dictatorship might occur, such as [[military occupation]], fear of communism (cf [[1967 Greek coup]]), opposition to civilian left-wing political leaders, personal greed or desire for power among the military, etc. ([[User talk:Buidhe|t]] &#183; [[Special:Contributions/Buidhe|c]]) '''[[User:buidhe|<span style="color: black">buidhe</span>]]''' 00:36, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
