Bracero Program

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
The Bracero Program is a main core of my PWR research project, and I wanted to explore what the Wikipedia page had to offer. I wanted to cross-reference the details and learn new aspects of the program that weren't covered in my research. An initial glance at the page seems that there is plenty of information to go around.

Evaluate the article
The lead paragraph of the article is decently well-crafted and succinctly summarizes the program; however, the introduction fails to mention that the Bracero Program also employed many into different fields such as railroad and mining operations. The mentions of new data appear misplaced and should not belong in this first section.

In a larger perspective, the article covers numerous important aspects of the program such as strikes, effects on family, and activism. The content overall seems up to date, and I can't immediately think of any content concerns. The only major concern I have is the "Reasons or disconnect amongst braceros" section where it appears to be a literature review and continuously introduces new authors and key figures rather than just citing them normally. The article doesn't support any argument and appears to provide a balanced perspective, particularly towards the aftermath and significance of the program. The writing is mainly professional with the exception I mentioned, though a new section on recent literature might prove valuable. The images have thoughtful captions and are representative of the program itself.

I didn't find anything useful in the talk feature, but I could also be misreading it. Overall, the article is well-written in many areas with a few weak points that aren't critical. More revision is needed on the conditions of the program and could perhaps benefit from citing testimonials.
