article 1: Black movement in Brazil

this was a topic that we have covered in class and I found how race is viewed in Brazil very interesting

the lead was very brief, as was the history, and it neglected what the movement is doing in the present. It is also missing citations in critical spots.

article 2: Latin America–United States relations

I think this is a very interesting topic that while at times can be very contentious is very important to the history of Latin America and the USA

the lead part of the article is very strong. It has a comprehensive outline of the subject matter and provides a brief history. Everything Is cited and there are links in which the reader can branch off too. After this there are many things that are not sited, and facts that need to be checked or clarified. there are also people and historical events that are listed, but there's no corresponding link on wikipedia for those topics.

article 3: 2006 student protests in Chile

talks about the student protest against Pinochet and his decision to privatize the education system.

the lead detailed and a bit long, some of it was redundant of what is said in the following sections. the citations and references look good and the citations are generally placed in the appropriate places.
