This may be the most valuable document for anyone unsure of how to help, and has a collective contribution of 5,550 edits as of now: Wikipedia policy: Neutral point of view.

I suggest reading the article to see if you would make any edits based on your own observations, and what follows are some of the things I noted when using the Twinkle cleanup tool.

 Article reads like colonialist propaganda 

- Much of the article is referencing El Comercio, a Peruvian source that is pro-liberal markets ideologically. The anti-social stance may be helping to account for why "strike" is not a word used in this article about a massive general-strike movement led by laborers.

- There are many other issues, including with translation in general, such as "Police officials began detonating bombs at nearby universities in Guayaquil and Quito as response to student-led protests."

- The article reads as a timeline of El Comercio's coverage. It recites police and government statements, unnecessarily, such as when Byron Guatatuca was shot point-blank in the face (something one of the references from a BBC article talks about, but the reference is used to talk about something completely unrelated.

- This is clear as on that day CONAIE uploaded an infamous video of the man dying, but the article covers that day as being notable for "Police investigators and Health Ministry officials launched an investigation against the protestors in Ambato, saying the protestors have contaminated the city's drinking water by pouring burnt oil into the reserves."

- This completely ridiculous approach to this movement is found throughout the article, and in cases where, like now, there is progress in talks and seemingly resolution, the article again is silent on this.

- Similarly, a couple of editors point out that even the president indicates the violence is caused by infiltrators of the movement intending to derail it, for which there are coverage and video documentation of such groups shooting into crowds of protesters, this is ignored to push a story that the protests are notable for their violence and attacks on civilians.

- The bomb plots by the protesters, the named source, and all of its translations are are questionable. They should be summarized instead of being a basis for a timeline structure to this article, which is not an ideal choice for articles in general.

- The article is also included in a collection of the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but does not explain the relationship.

- I really do not think readers will come away better informed about any aspect of the causes, the parties, the progression or the resolutions.

- The ecological and environmental demands and concerns are completely ignored, just like any other issue that the protesters have been asking to be considered.

- Namely their 10 points have been buried beneath a ridiculous psyop of a timeline, and has a history easily traced back into 2021, well before the war in Ukraine.

- This is because the context of these protests begins years in the past, and is the topic of WikiLeaks disclosures and foreign interference, typical of Monroe Doctrine meddling in the hemisphere.
