Part 1 Review
Hello. I'll be reviewing this article and be posting my findings here. First part will be a copyedit/content review. The second part will include source verification. Stay tuned. MX ( ✉  •  ✎  ) 18:11, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

General comments, Part 1: Great read. The article is comprehensive and includes detailed information about the rule and events. I made several copyedits myself so please revisit them and let me know if you have any questions/comments. There are some instances where WP:REDLINK is applicable; this is a good practice on Wikipedia that encourages others to create articles on subjects that do not exist yet.
 * Thanks for the feedback! I hope I addressed all your points below. PizzaKing13   ¡Hablame!  04:09, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

Part 2 of the review coming up. MX ( ✉  •  ✎  ) 22:55, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

Independence of New Spain

 * — Could we consider writing as "Emperor of Mexico" as opposed to "Mexican emperor"? I saw that this was consistent of Agustin's article and the title of the article hyperlinked too.
 * Done


 * — Could we redlink 1814 per WP:REDLINK?
 * Done


 * — Same goes here for those with the Spanish-language articles that do not have one in English.
 * Done

Central American infighting over annexation

 * — Please redlink
 * Done


 * — Need further clarification here. Consider writing as "Meanwhile, Costa Ricans were initially opposed to independence from Spain; at that time, there was no definitive consensus as to whether Costa favored or opposed annexation.
 * Changed


 * — Is this claim supported by the sources in the infobox (#43 and 44)? Just want to make sure. All other footnotes have references so I would advise you add one too for this claim to follow the format.
 * Yes, it is. Added.

Annexation and subsequent separatist conflicts

 * — Please redlink
 * Done.


 * — Please redlink
 * Done.


 * — I know we don't have their articles in Spanish, but based on your research, do you think Sosa and Glz Ojeda could eventually have their own articles? If so, please redlink.
 * Sosa held the position of Secretary Deputy in the Central American assembly, but I can't find any other mention of him anywhere in my research so I think it's unlikely. Meanwhile González Ojeda is mentioned only one time in both sources and it's for this occasion, so I think this one is even less likely.


 * — Hyperlink with Constitution of Mexico if applicable
 * That page is for the 1917 constitution only. This constitution for 1822/23 was never drafted, and I don't think there is enough information on it to warrant having a page on Wikipedia.


 * — Please redlink all mentions were applicable
 * Done


 * — Question here. The link sends to "Ochomogo War", not Battle of Ochomogo. Was there a Battle with the same name as the civil war?
 * As far as I am aware, the Ochomogo War is the Battle of Ochomogo. My sources all prefer "Battle of Ochomogo" so I list it as that.


 * — Same here, redlink
 * Done


 * — Same here
 * Done


 * — Question here. Do you think it would make sense to redlink "Governor of Nicaragua"? This position no longer exists of course, but I'm wondering if it is something we could expand with further research. Same question applies to Salazar if you think enough material exists. Consider redlinking if applicable to both.
 * The article for President of Nicaragua already has content for the Governor of Nicaragua, only that it doesn't cover the period for 1821–1825 since I guess no one has gotten around to it. I linked it there. I also linked José Carmen Salazar.


 * — Same here, consider redlinking Pablo Méndez.
 * Done.

Independence from Mexico

 * Would you say we have to capitalize the words Congress and President for all mentions here?
 * I can't remember where I saw or who told me, but the mention of "president" should be lowercase since it's not attached to a name (ie: President José Matías Delgado, compared to José Matías Delgado, the president). Similarly, congress isn't the official name of the Central American congress, which it didn't really have an official name. The sources just say "Central American congress" or "congress" or "congress of Central America" so I left it lowercase. PizzaKing13   ¡Hablame!  04:07, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

Government
All good here.

Economy
All good here.

Part 2 Review
Pinging for visibility on my last part of the review. Nice job! MX ( ✉  •  ✎  ) 05:10, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

Lead

 * — Is there a chance to include this fact in the body paragraphs, that way we can remove the source for this specific claim from the lead per MOS:CITELEAD? This is a suggestion but would elevate the article as it is common practice at GA and FA.
 * Moved to the second to last paragraph of the "Central American infighting over annexation" section.


 * — Same here, if possible. In addition, "in recent times" should be avoided per MOS:CURRENT. Please rephrase to the appropriate time terms.
 * I can't really move it out to anywhere which makes sense. I've searched hard to find anywhere where someone has called for Central America's annexation after 1823, but I found nothing, only the FNM. I changed the sentence to "In its "25-Point Program", the far-right Nationalist Front of Mexico (FNM) has called for the reincorporation of Central America to Mexico."

Sources, closing comments

 * I checked all the references and made sure they take readers to the appropriate sources. All checks out.


 * I checked a few sources for appropriate attribution and all checks out.


 * All of the sources are reliable; some require print/offline access. Nothing controversial was found that made me request a direct quote.


 * Article is well written; should nominator want to promote it to FA status, I recommend a copyedit request at GOCE.
