Name of Article: Oaxacan Cuisine

bold
 * 1) There are certainly a couple of points made in the article that should not be included. While the primary focus is on Oaxaca's culinary traditions, the article occasionally brings up the issues of poverty that may prevent some of the state's inhabitants from consuming their own food. In my opinion, I believe that the overall structure has to be fixed. Every section has to focus solely on just the topic it is under. If possible, it should also include a section that is devoted solely to talking about the history of the cuisine and all of its influences.
 * 2) While the overall article is unbiased, one of the authors did mention a particular preference in one of the subsections of the article. Instead of simply talking about the food, the article mentions a couple of food experts that really enjoy the food. If the article intends to be unbiased, it should either eliminate the comments made by the aforementioned food experts or it should aim to include multiple critiques.
 * 3) There are a couple of links that are either broken or that do not direct the user to the intended article. In addition, a few of the other sources do not have any links attached.
 * 4) The sources that are available seem to be riddled with content that is both biased and unbiased. The authors who cited the information did a good job of separating the information by primarily incorporating the unbiased sections info into their articles. I think it is definitely very difficult to find an unbiased source that talks about food, but I'm fairly confident that there may be some peer-reviewed sources that talk about the history and the origins of the preferred cuisine of an area.
 * 5) While a lot of the information is not very recent, I think it's perfectly fine to use some older sources for these types of articles. Unless some of the more modern changes or influences in the cuisine want to be discussed, I think old sources are perfectly acceptable. Despite the acceptable use of sources, I do believe that there is a lot of information that needs to be added. There has to be a section that focuses solely on the origins and influences of the article. I'm also fairly confident that there are a lot more dishes than the ones discussed in the articles.
 * 6) No conversations in the Talk page.
 * 7) The article has not yet received a rating.
 * 8) It is part of the WikiProject Food and Drink, a group that specializes in improving the quality of any article that discusses food.
 * 9) While we haven't talked much about food in class, it is definitely something that is important in Latin Culture and that stems from a lot of the indigenous and African origins.
