Lead

The lead does include an introductory sentence that clearly describes the topic. The introductory sentence reads, "Cuban immigration has greatly influenced modern Miami, creating what is known as "Cuban Miami." However, Miami reflects global trends as well, such as the growing trends of multiculturalism and multiracialism; this reflects the way in which international politics shape local communities." Stack, John F. Jr. (1999), "The Ethnic Citizen Confronts the Future: Los Angeles and Miami at Century's Turn", The Pacific Historical Review, 68 (2): 309–316.

The content in the article is relevant to the topic. However, more recent information can be updated into the article. There is a lot of content that is missing about Cuban Migration to Miami. The article is pretty short in length, not providing sufficient information on this issue.

Tone and Balance

The article is written in a neutral point of view. Images are well captured, but there are not too many, more images representing Cuban Migration to Miami can be added.

The sources are written by a diverse spectrum of authors, there are also peer reviewed sources as well as journalistic articles.

Organization and writing quality

The writing of this Wikipedia page is written clear and easy to read. The article is short, but it is broken down in an organized fashion. However, more categories can be added to include a broader perspective of Cuban migration in Miami.

Images and Media

Images are well-captured, but more images can be added to enhance the understanding of the topic and to be more visually appealing.

Talk page discussion

There is not much discussion in the talk page, it seems that only one person has discussed in the talk page regarding her suggestion of how they came to to find the number of Cubans in Miami. The editor believes that numbers and comparisons to Cuban cities might be useful to the reader and for the article itself.

Overall impressions

The page is off to a good start, more current information and images can be added, as well as adding different categories.

Trump administration migrant detentions
Lead section

The lead includes an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic. The sentence reads, " However, the Trump administration has taken a harsher approach than previous administrations regarding migrant detentions, by allowing no exemptions unlike the George W. Bush and Obama administrations, who actually built the camps." The lead gives a brief description of the major sections as it will consist of mostly discussing about Trump administration dealing with migrant detentions. The article does not include information that is not present in the article. The lead is pretty concise and easy to understand

Content

Everything in the article is relevant to the article topic. The only factor that may have been distracting to some readers is the fact that they talk about past administrations, but that is to compare with the Trump administration. There is no information that is out of date. I don't see information about the 2,000 children that have gone missing under the Trump administration, which could be added to improve the page. I do not see any notable equity gaps throughout this Wikipedia page.

Tone and Balance

The article is as neutral as possible as it can truthfully be, much of the page relates to the negative consequences of the Trump administration. There hasn't been any positive outcomes from the Trump administration in regards to detention centers and migrants. Due to this reason, it can be argued that the page is a bit biased.

Sources and References

The links provided in the citation do seem to work and the source supports the claims written in the article. The sources that are used are from a variety of journalistic articles and peer reviewed sources such as journals which are all reliable. The sources are neutral as it ranges from sources such as Fox News to CNN, which provides two different perspectives. The sources are also written by a diverse spectrum of authors which produces a better Wikipedia page.

Organization and writing quality

One of the reasons why I chose this article was for its organization and the writing quality. The article is overall well-written, and easy to read, especially to those who do not know much about the immigration system in the U.S. The article is free from any grammatical or spelling errors. The article is well organized as it is broken down into sections that do reflect the major points of the topic.

Images and Media

The article includes multiple images that enhance the understanding of the topic, which visually allows you to see the inhumane conditions migrants faced in detention centers. The images are well captured as they describe where and when the image was taken, I found it interesting how the article also included a graph and videos to enhance ones understanding of the topic. The images are laid out in a visually appealing way, it does not distract you from reading the rest of the page.

Talk page discussion

I found it interesting how someone presented the idea that this article discusses multiple administrations, and how it should be minimalized to a singular President due to partisan politics. There is not much conversation going on in the Talk page that is important to take a note off. This article seems to be rated well as there have been minor errors in the page as a whole.

Overall impressions

I think this article started off in an excellent manner, however, it can be improved. There could be more discussion in regards to the children that have gone missing. There could also be a discussion of the aftermath of the Trump administration, and how much information has been removed from this administration in regards to the missing migrant children. I believe that the article is well developed as it focuses on the Trump administration and makes comparisons to previous administrations which all provide a clear connection.
