(Provide a link to the article here.)Golden Age of Mexican cinema

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)"I want to learn more about my culture and the culture of Mexico; this class has to do with learning about chicanx non-male artists and I wanted to learn more background cultural history before learning more about chicanx artist. Learning about a cultures prime era in the art world can help evaluate and analyze the way chicanx artist work and perform/ produce their art. Being more knowledgeable within an area which has intersectionalities within it is vital to making coherent and well versed claims."

(Compose a detailed evaluation of the article here, considering each of the key aspects listed above. Consider the guiding questions, and check out the examples of what a useful Wikipedia article evaluation looks like.) For the lead: It defined what the article was based on, defining basically what the golden age of cinema was in Mexico. It touched on the time period as to when it came in fruition. Though, however, it didn't provide enough breakdown/ rundown of the golden age of Mexican cinema, no timeline or coverage of what the article will be touching base on. The length and detail was decent, if it had maybe a bit more fun facts/ important details of the golden age, then maybe my entire attention may have been grasped and it would have been more interesting to read.

As for content, maybe if there were more details and analysis on how certain people and artists played a major role in the upbringing of the age of cinema. And as to tone and balance, it does seem more opinionated through the use of diction. Maybe providing more sources and statistics would really invigorate the claims the author introduces within the article.

Links and citations used throughout the article worked and were up to date; for the ones I clicked on, of course.

The author could have reviewed it a couple times for grammatical errors, I spotted a few. Diction can also come off as opinionated, so maybe if they provided more courses and statistics, it could have invigorated their claims and made it seem to be more of a claim than an opinion/ thought.

Images of said actors and artist were provided; if more art like film posters or images of performances were shown, it could definitely strengthen this article. I only saw images of said artists, would love to have seen examples of the art work produced in this era; it'd give a feel of why the era was so great in Mexico.

Under the talk page with other editors and authors, a lot of conversation is on the underrepresentation of other artists that had a major contribution and role in the golden age of cinema. A lot with fair use counterparts with the images used in the article. Also grammatical errors within the article is discussed; also the view point of the article is discussed - noting that the original author comes off as a fine/ persuasive rather than it being more factual and unbiased.

I somewhat liked the article, it had some nice details under some genres/ topics; would have loved to see more details on other artists and the forms of art created that contributed, again, to the golden age of cinema in Mexico. This article gave me a great understanding on how to go about wiki pages and articles.
