My reviewer agrees with my intended edits. They also understand that this article is very important to the understanding of the Cuban Revolution. I will continue down the path I have intended to with focusing on the translation and fixing the deadlinks.
I liked the feedback that I received. It mentioned multiple areas that I should revise that I hadn’t thought about. Specifically, there’s an area on the “La Violencia” page about conspiracies that makes up about a third of the page. This was mentioned to have too much importance compared to the other sections. It was generally helpful advice.
The feedback I received help me realize some areas that I could be overlooking. Specifically, I had not considered how it would be good to discuss MRTA’s inspiration from Tupac Amaru and what that means in the Peruvian context. I had planned to add the stated goals of the organization, but I had not intended to discuss the historical relevancy of Tupac Amaru aside from linking to the page. Feedback also suggested I incorporate information about the role of gender in MRTA, something I would probably have overlooked.
The feedback I received was very helpful, and gave me ideas that I had not previously considered, such as adding a photocopy of the newspaper itself. One of the changes I plan for the article is to find sources for the large amount of information marked “citation needed.” I also plan to add information on the newspaper’s impact on the world, and how the world has impacted the newspaper. The feedback to this plan included suggestions to add new headings to the article, and expanding the information and topics already provided in the article, which I plan to do as there is not much information in the article at present.
My reviews mentioned finding more sources to provide more content in addition to translating the content of the Spanish page, as well as clarifying my proposed edits on the Talk page. This review has reminded me to assume the audience of the final page could know fairly little about the context of my person’s actions (Ruth Buendía) and specificity is a good quality to have both in the Talk page and the final live page.
The feedback was helpful and constructive for my article. Of the suggestions I plan to include a lot of links to make my page more accessible in hopes that it will receive more attention from more seasoned wikipedia scholars. One of my peer reviewers suggested making new sections entirely for my article as the existing sections are small and not necessarily detailed. I will fo sure take this into consideration as I further construct my wikipedia page.
On my talk page, one peer had reviewed my planned edits and approved of my ideas to separate the “Form” and “Thematic Content” Sections. Also, my peer approved of my idea to separate the “Origins” section and create a new subsequent section covering the development of arpillera workshops. Also, my peer advised me to add more photos into the article, which I will be sure to do since readers could benefit from looking at more types of arpilleras.
There are now 4.5 million Venezuelans abroad in their attempts to flee the Maduro presidency. However, the numbers are expected to exceed 5 million and has now drawn the attention of the United Nations. In Latin America, there are currently 3.7 million Venezuelan refugees with the majority of the Venezuelans fleeing to Peru, Colombia, and Chile. Three international entities, the EU, UNHCR, and the IOM, have all called for the acceptance of the Venezuelan refugees.
Since 2014, there has been a shocking 8000 percent increase in the amount of Venezuelans abroad and this has been quite worrisome. The main reasons for the cause in the increase of Venezuelan migrants has been because of severe inflation and internal conflicts between president and opposition as Venezuelan President Maduro desperately holds onto power. Ever since taking power, President Maduro has been plagued by this crisis along with severe inflation.
With such a severe refugee crisis breaking out in Venezuela, news sources are determined to bring this information to the world as it enters the international spotlight. Drawing attention from multiple UN committees and the EU, this crisis is requiring all nations of Latin America to rally and support the Venezuelan people. It is important to mention that all of the articles really focus on the humanitarian side of the issue. The articles are a way of building empathy from the readers in their understanding of the struggles of the Venezuelan people. Building empathy is effective as it draws attention to issues around the world where aid is needed most.
Yes, this these articles relate directly to what we have been discussing in class as Venezuela struggles towards its road to socialism. With the passing of socialist Hugo Chavez, the previous Venezuelan president, Maduro has led the nation into a steep decline. Maduro currently has the support of the military in Venezuela and does not seem to be losing power anytime soon as the opposition in Venezuela seems to be unable to make progress against Maduro.

There was only one peer review that I could find in response to my proposed edits. It basically agreed with my proposed edits, saying that I should do everything I listed. The main feedback I received was thought the wikipedia peer review template, so the feedback was in yes and no answers. The feedback I received agreed to organize my page and add more about her work and early life. I will continue with my plan for improving my article.
The peer reviews were distributed between my talk page and as a response to my edit of the talk page for my article. The shared response I got was that I might be aiming for too much with my planned edits of the article. Furthermore, I was reminded to add citations, and keep a neutral voice. My plans for reorganization were affirmed by my reviews. My plan now is to begin with a reorganization, then add new information.
