You included some sources that have impactful, concrete information. The information comes from first the hand experience of those involved in the war, increasing the urgency to include this in the Wikipedia […]

I think Brazil’s fashion industry is often overlooked for its international influence on the fashion industry. I would mention how LGBTQ organizations have impacted Brazil’s definition of fashion. I liked how you […]

In your blog post, you point out a major flaw within the Wikipedia page that has a drastic impact on the the US beyond the baseball field. You have multiple great sources, however Forbes may not fit Wikipedia’s […]

Keira,

I think your best bet may be to focus specifically on FARC as a rebel group instead of as a political party. From the little I know about FARC, it seems as though they have not worked hard to make the […]

Cesar,

I love your topic! For one of my Noticias posts I actually wrote about how 10 members of an indigenous group had been brutally murdered by some Brazilian miners. Now, obviously you’ve chosen to focus on […]

I think you have found an incredibly interesting topic indeed. My only concern is that you may find it difficult to talk about the many different types and styles of clothing that originated in Latin America. I […]

I clicked on the Wikipedia page for Autodefensas and wow you would be creating the page. Some suggestions for the page would be to explain why the groups formed. What do Autodefensas groups actually do? You […]

This is a very interesting idea that I never thought of. Is there anything in particular between the relationship of Latin American film and the United States that you are thinking of mentioning, other then the […]

This is a really fascinating topic, although I think you might want to narrow it to a specific country because it’s rather broad. Also I’m wondering how African immigrants are treated in Latin America, because […]

This is a really interesting topic, but it may be harder to find Wikipedia approved sources on non-official interactions with indigenous people, as in everyday people’s interactions. If I were you, I would try to […]

Which proposals have the most potential to improve Wikipedia’s coverage of Latin American and Latin@ history? Which have the best combination of content gaps and reliable sources?

Clothing is often a really i […]
