Which article are you evaluating?
Ladino people

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I have to write about Ladinos in my Week 4 discussion post.

Evaluate the article
The lead includes a concise introductory sentence that generally describes Ladinos as “hispanicized” people. The only major section is Guatemala.

The content is relevant, but it’s almost all about Guatemala, even though Ladinos were all over Latin America. It is up to date, but its references are from 2006 and 2008. There is a lot of missing content from other regions of Latin America, but nothing that doesn’t belong.

The article talks about Guatemala, which I’m guessing hasn’t been discussed much.

There doesn’t seem to be any bias.

The article uses numerous scholarly references, but they are from around 2006 and 2008. There are Spanish-language references and English-speaking references. Most of the links work, but some do not.

The writing is clear and concise. It has no grammar or spelling errors.

It has no images.

There are numerous discussions on the talk page about the etymology of “Ladino”. It’s part of the Guatemala WikiProject, and the Ethnic Groups WikiProject.

The article's overall status is incomplete. Its strengths are the details about Guatemala, but its weaknesses are that it doesn't talk about slavery or about Ladinos outside Guatemala.
