Here's the sandbox. I'm going to copy and paste the prompts from the main course page so I can keep those in mind whenever I'm looking to edit something.

Article Evaluation

 * Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?
 * Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
 * Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?
 * Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?
 * Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?
 * Check out the Talk page of the article. What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?
 * How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?
 * How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?

Sources for Operation Condor
Operation Condor is listed as a start-class article in the South American Military History Wikiproject, and could use a lot more information. (Main active members listed as Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay, with Columbia, Peru, and Venezuela as sporadic members, but information about Bolivia, Uruguay, and the sporadic members seems scant. Furthermore, the "legal action" section only addresses three countries, and could be expanded upon(?))

Possible sources:
 * John Dinges, The Condor Years--This book regards Operation Condor, specifically the United States's influence on it. The author interviewed a large number of people, both right-wing and left-wing, to get a clearer picture about the events during Condor. Among the four countries the author lists as where he did most of his reporting are Chile, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay, so this book would be useful in adding more information about Uruguay's role in the operation.
 * J. Patrice McSherry, Death Squads as Parallel Forces: Uruguay, Operation Condor, and the United States
 * David Kohut, Historical Dictionary of the Dirty Wars--This book provides maps, definitions, historical timelines that would all be particularly useful in providing historical context when reading the other books.
 * Marcia Esparza, State Violence and Genocide in Latin America: The Cold War Years--
 * Pablo Leighton, 40 Years Are Nothing: History and Memory of the 1973 coups d'etat in Uruguay and Chile--This book provides further information about Uruguay's part in Operation Condor, and further examines life in Uruguay and Chile after the operation, which would provide more information to add into the "justice" section on the Operation Condor article.
