Neutral Content
Wikipedia articles aim for a neutral point of view. That means they don't attempt to persuade the reader into accepting a particular idea or position.


 * Do you think you could guess the perspective of the author by reading the article?

I am not entirely certain if it is the perspective of the author or just the content of the section that makes it seem not neutral and negative.


 * Are there any words or phrases that don't feel neutral? For example, "the best idea," "most people," or negative associations, such as "While it's obvious that x, some insist that y."

"Fears of damaging the Bracero Program also lead to a decades long intentional ignorance regarding Mexican American discrimination(1)" in this sentence the use of the word "ignorance" makes the statement less neutral.

''"While it ensured African Americans could receive fair employment, it often failed to provide the same protections to Mexican Americans because of America’s foreign policy in regard to Latin American Nations." I think this sentence should be rephrased to sound more put together. Maybe instead you could phrase it "While this ensured African Americans could receive fair employment because of America's foreign policy in regard to Latin American Nations, it often failed to provide the same protections to Mexican Americans."''


 * Does the article make claims on behalf of unnamed groups or people? For example, "some people say..."

''In the article, "Good Neighbor Policy" and "Bracero Program" as well as "LULAC" are mentioned but not explained. Are these defined elsewhere and/or link to an existing page? If not, I think they should be explained for the readers benefit.''

''The overall tone in the article doesn't seem very neutral. Although these people were mistreated it seems like it focuses on the negative aspects towards the topic.''
 * Does the article focus too much on negative or positive information? Remember, neutral doesn't mean "the best positive light" or "the worst, most critical light." It means a clear reflection of various aspects of a topic.

Reliable Sources
Good articles are built on good sources. When you've read the article, turn to the references section.


 * Are most statements in the article connected to a reliable source, such as textbooks and journal articles? Or do they rely on blogs or self-published authors?
 * Are there a lot of statements attributed to one or two sources? If so, it may lead to an unbalanced article, or one that leans too heavily into a single point of view.
 * Are there any unsourced statements in the article, or statements that you can't find stated in the references? Just because there is a source listed, doesn't mean it's presented accurately!
