I like the image that's in the article. However, another image has recently been uploaded of him. I'm not sure; but he looks older in this image. I don't know if anyone wants to include this in the article, or if it would add anything. Just plopping it here for future reference of anyone who happens by. ~

I agree. While the quality is not as good as the main picture, it is definitely noted. Perhaps when the article expands a bit more, we can include. I would like to see a picture of him perhaps in something different such as a special uniform, or a painting (portrait) of him etc. Savvyjack23 (talk) 18:48, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
There's so much more that could be said about him than what this article currently has. In 1902 he basically led a civil war in Haiti as he attempted to become president instead of Alexis. Check out the sources I put above, and the article I've been working on about

Interesting! Yes, there are actually a lot of Haiti-related articles like this. I hope to help improve that. There is just soo much out there (which is really interesting) that isn't written about on here yet. This really helps thanks. I'll be sure to look further.
