Questions To Ask: Is the article's content relevant to the topic?

Yes, it begins the "100 years of struggle" claim of Castro. Is it written neutrally?

Yes, it is not ideologically charged, likely because the issue of colonial rule as Spain held over Cuba is no longer controversial.

Does each claim have a citation?

No, many of the points in the history section are not cited. The section on intendured servitude for former slaves turned freedmen, as directed by the Pact of Zanjon, is not cited and has potential for a breakthrough in race relations between masters and slaves during and following the war. Maybe the Anti-racism book we will read can provide more information. Are the citations reliable? Yes, except for sources 9 and 22. They are from un-verified websites. Does the article tackle one of Wikipedia's equity gaps (coverage of historically underrepresented or misrepresented populations or subjects)? Not perfectly. There is more to be said on the actions of slaves during the war and after it. Check out the article's Talk page to see what other Wikipedians are already contributing.

Partido Independiente de Color
Is the article's content relevant to the topic? Yes, it deals with the first race-based political body in Cuba, early evidence of Afro-Cuban group consciousness and identity. Its platform also includes aspects of the Revolution's, including "free university education, free Immigration regardless of race, guaranteed public employment, and distribution of land to veterans of the War of Independence."

Is it written neutrally? Somewhat. Parts are awkwardly worded

Does each claim have a citation? The early PIC section is confusing. The Helg citation is not clearly attached to some of the claims, although it can be inferred that they are tied to this citation. The citations are not always formatted correctly, using in-text citation instead of endnotes. Platt Amendment section is not cited.

Are the citations reliable? Yes, but there is room for more aftermath context. "Anti-Racism" should have more information

Does the article tackle one of Wikipedia's equity gaps (coverage of historically underrepresented or misrepresented populations or subjects)? Yes, it depicts an undertold period in American history, the violent suppression of protesters on foreign soil.

Popular Socialist Party
This article is in need of a lot of work. Many of the sources we have read so far talk about PSP, specifically George J.Boughton, who outlines the party's platform established as momentum to democratically oust Batista was mounting: "(1) restore the Constitution of 1940; (2) establish democratic liberties and a democratic military force; (3) lower the cost of living while raising wages and pensions, aiding the unemployed, and creating new jobs; (4) implement an agrarian reform; (5) lower taxes; (6) develop national industries and ensure their protection from foreign competition (7) revise Cuba's tariff system; (8) establish equal rights for all Cuban citizens and end racial discrimination; (9) restore student rights; (10) establish a foreign policy emphasizing trade with all friendly and peaceful nations (i.e., the Soviet bloc); (11) hold "free democratic elections" in which all groups would participate, as soon as possible after the overthrow of the dictatorship" (Boughton 441-42) Boughton cites (Lopez, 1958:55)

Further study of sources could really flesh out the article. who goes into the party's platform which preceded Cuba's shift towards socialism and was marginalized as Fidel Castro consolidated power by disbanding opposition parties. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dumo276 (talk • contribs) 17:31, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
