This article seems to consist almost entirely of [[Wikipedia:No original research|original research]]. Three prose sections only contain one [[Wikipedia:Inline citation|inline citation]] between them, solely in the "[[Military dictatorship#Comparison with civilian dictatorship|Comparison with civilian dictatorship]]" subsection, leaving nothing in the "[[Military dictatorship#Creation and evolution|Creation and evolution]]", "[[Military dictatorship#Justification|Justification]]" and "[[Military dictatorship#Comparison with monarchies|Comparison with monarchies]]" sections. As for the list part of the article, there are only two citations, referencing the [[Shogun]]ate and [[Statism in Shōwa Japan|Shōwa Statist]] periods in [[Japan]]. Every single other entry is lacking in citations. This is pretty bad for such an important article to the understanding of systems of government. I'm asking people that contribute to this article to please cite your sources. I can try and help find some, where possible, but I have no idea where to even start with the prose sections. --[[User:Grnrchst|Grnrchst]] ([[User talk:Grnrchst|talk]]) 09:27, 20 February 2022 (UTC) |

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?
Is Atatürk a Dictator
Every dictatorship is not bad. Every dictator is not Stalin or Hitler. As someone who loved Atatürk very much, I think he was a dictator and that doesn't have to make him a bad leader. The one-party rule between 1923 and 1946 was not democratic. (I don't think it should have either.) Considering that almost all cadres are soldiers, that makes it a military dictatorship.

Grenada
The People's Revolutionary Government of Grenada was a classical marxist-leninist one-party dictatorship, not a military dictatorship; unless we count only the 6-days regime of the general Hudson Austin (19 - 25 october 1983).--MiguelMadeira (talk) 21:43, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
Issues
Why is Egypt's military dictatorship being shown as having ended in 2018, despite there not being any leadership changes that year? Rousillon (talk) 02:55, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
Another issue is that Zimbabwe is also shown as having been a military dictatorship from 2017-18. While it's true they had a coup, there was no junta or anything like that, no 'takeover', rather they put one of Mugabe's party rivals in power. Rousillon (talk) 03:01, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

Haiti
1950-1956 and 1986-1990 were they really military dictatorships? Does anyone have a source? 181.224.194.45 (talk) 04:22, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

The former list
What's the point of not having the list? I want readers to know what are the modern and former military dictatorships but I don't know about you. Patriciogetsongettingridofhiswiki (talk) 04:34, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
- Wikipedia has rules about 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. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 05:01, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
Oh ok Patriciogetsongettingridofhiswiki (talk) 23:34, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
Most of the list was supported by sources, the list should be restored, though perhaps without a list of current dictatorships. -- 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. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 02:40, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
