Article Improvement Plans
I plan slightly adjust the outline/contents of the article by splitting it into new sections. I will start with a brief overview, followed by background, the event itself, the aftermath, and finally its legacy. I believe this method of organization will make the article easy to follow while providing readers a complete description of the Maleconazo uprising.

There are few specific details that I will also add that I think will improve the effectiveness of this article. First, in the background section, I am going to add information about the collapse of the Soviet Union and the subsequent "Special Period" in Cuba. These events are left out of the original article despite being essential to understanding the motivation behind the uprising. Secondly, with the event itself, I am going to go into further detail about the response from Cuban authorities. Currently, the article lacks detail about how the police / special brigade responded to the unrest. It also fails to mention Fidel Castro's role in quelling the chaos and violence. Finally, in the aftermath and legacy sections, I plan to write about how this event affected Cuban politics, as well as how it altered US-Cuban relations. One major example of this is the "wet foot, dry foot" policy implemented by the Clinton administration in response to the exodus that occurred following the uprising. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Swiftfish12 (talk • contribs) 20:01, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
