Popol Vuh

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I took a class on the Popol Vuh last year so I'm familiar with the topic. I'm also really interested in religion and the stories people tell about it.

Evaluate the article
I think there could be a little more background on the historical context of these stories and the summary of the story the Popol Vuh tells could be expanded. The section on the book's importance in modern Kiche communities is also kind of sparse. The citations seem to cover an appropriately broad amount of translations and commentaries on the text, although it might be nice to see some more Kiche perspectives cited, and some of the facts in the article are uncited. The article is rated C-Class and is part of several WikiProjects. Because many prominent translators of the Popol Vuh have been Spanish, much of the talk section centers on discussions about which terms are appropriate to use in Spanish and/or in Kiche, but there seems to be less discussion of the content of the article itself.
