 * This is the topic we discussed via office hours, as it goes with my interest in researching the effects that Cuban Communism left on Cuban Americans today. This article gives a lot of information, but does seem to be written from a specific POV. It is a particularly emotional topic, so that could be why, but it feels like I am reading a retelling or recount of the situation instead of an entry into an encyclopedia.
 * I also noticed it is flagged for needing verification of facts, which is unsurprising as there seems to be large chunks of writing that have no source listed. This is unacceptable in academic writing, of course, as it suggests the information is either made up or plagiarized. For the sources that are listed, it seems the author relied heavily on newspaper articles. I would like to see more academic sources, like journals employed. Where did those writing the newspaper articles get the information? It has to be cited somewhere.
 * Additionally, there are entire sections dedicated to things like its representation in film, but then gives very little information about such films other than the fact that they exist. Lastly, and it could be due to lack of availability, but there is only one picture in the entire post. Overall, this entry just seems like it needs more of everything – information, sources, quotes, etc.
