Lead
"The sacrifice of war captives was a very important part of many of the Aztec religious festivals. Warfare was thus the main driving force of both the Aztec economy and religion.[ citation needed] "

My notes:

This part of the lead section needs a citation to check the validity of this sentence or it could be deleted due to lack of evidence to back up this sentence"

Article body
Flower War

"Mainly Xochiyaoyotl served as propaganda both towards other city-states and to the Aztec people allowing the Aztec rulers to continuously demonstrate their might with a constant influx of war captives to Tenochtitlan.[ citation needed]"

Fortifications

"The latter is where Ahuitzotl built garrisons and fortifications to keep watch over the Matlatzinca, Mazahua and Otomies and to always have troops close to the enemy Tarascan state - the borders with which were also guarded and at least partly fortified on both sides.[ citation needed]"

Tlamanih
"Tlamanih (captor)"

Campaigns and Builds

"In the war against Coixtlahuacan the Aztec army numbered 200,000 warriors and 100,000 porters. Other sources mention Aztec armies of up to 700,000 men.[ citation needed]"

My notes:

This part under the sub heading "Flower War" part of "Warfare in Aztec Society" needs citations to check the validity of this statement otherwise it would be deleted. It looks like it is a sentence sounds true but, it has no citations to support it.

The "Birth ritual", "Life Outside Warfare", and "Appearances of warriors" section needs citation otherwise it should be deleted from the article.

Citations is needed for this part for "Fortification" otherwise it should be deleted.

The "Organization" section has Nahuatl words and phrases that can be sourced using a dictionary and the lack of citations through the majority of the paragraphs needs to be addressed.

The section "Tlamanih" has no additional information to explain what this is and why it is significant to Aztec warfare. So either adding information relating this topic with citations would be good or it will need to be deleted entirely.

Citation needed for paragraph under "Campaigns and Builds" otherwise it should be deleted

I have noticed that most of the paragraphs sounds true but are missing citations to back it up. My focus on this article is to add any missing citations, adding necessary information, and removing parts of the article that don't have any citations.
