Belizean–Guatemalan Territorial Dispute

Link: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belizean%E2%80%93Guatemalan_territorial_dispute

My Wikipedia search for this article was relatively straight forward in that I knew exactly what I wanted to delve into. Major key words are the International Court of Justice, Treaty of Tordesillas, Guatemalan negotiations, colonialism, and disputed territory. The coverage quality is pretty in depth, though it greatly lacked adequate citations and made ambiguous claims that needed to be verified through external sources.

The breakdown of the article is actually quite coherent and chronological, starting with its early history and ending with its newest challenges. However, the content is not balanced and does not provide the reader ample opportunity to gain a more in-depth understanding of the main concepts being explored in the article. For instance, the Early History subsection is far too small for the content it should have there and it focuses more on the individuals directly involved with the political party rather than giving an overall context of the political environment and then cluing in these individuals. These individuals' backgrounds are also not explored in the article, they are simply mentioned and many are not linked to a separate article or external sourcing. Additionally, a significant chunk of the sources referenced at the conclusion of the article are press releases, which tend to have a journalistic slant though they could be factually-based.
