ALT1 ... that Aldana Sandoval helped plot the 1944 Guatemalan coup, but "lost his nerve" at the last minute? - E Eng 06:08, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

@EEng: While I agree that ALT1 is slightly more interesting, I hesitate to use a loaded descriptor supported by a single source: the original hook, at least, is just bare bones. Vanamonde (talk) 06:14, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

Well, put "lost his nerve" in quotes, that gives some distance. Not a BLP so it's really OK. E Eng 06:55, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

Okay, done: reviewer needed. Vanamonde (talk) 07:19, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

This article is new enough and long enough. ALT1 implies that the phrase "lost his nerve" appears in the source which it does not, as far as I can see. The source mentions his "sudden defection" on page 50. So I approve ALT0 but not ALT1. The article is neutral and I detected no policy issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:23, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
