Peer Review- Mock Spanish Article
There is a lot of information offered in this article, and it develops a lot of interesting points! The main thing I think that would help future readers would be organizing the article into different sections. Currently, it's all one big chunk, and I think a useful division would be a lead section that describes the basics of Mock Spanish, and then moves into sections such as the cultural significance of Mock Spanish (this section can include the controversy of whether or not Mock Spanish is a bad thing based on its potential relation to racism) and perhaps move into another section including listed examples of Mock Spanish and how it is used in day-to-day conversation. Overall, I think the topic is really interesting and I believe the sources were well incorporated! Mburnns (talk) 17:03, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

Sophie Lampl Peer Review (2):

I agree with Mburnns, there is definitely a ton of interesting information offered and added to this article. Since it does brush upon many topics and ideas, I think there should be more specific sections or paragraphs to split up some of the bigger paragraphs that contain more than one point. For example, I think you could possibly create a separate section/header discussing how Mock-Spanish relates to class-structure and stereotypes just to split some of the bigger middle paragraphs. I think this would help the article flow better for the reader.

I would explain more of a connection that native Spanish-speakers have with Anglo-Americans. What is the relationship like? Also, you could add small, specific "day-to-day" examples of other common phrases that people use in daily conversations to give even more context to a reader who might not know about this topic.

Overall, the sources used all work and seem to be updated! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.9.192.116 (talk) 21:23, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

Luis Michey Tovar's Peer Review:

I agree with everything said above in the previous reviews. One thing I would add is the addition of an etymology page for certain phrases. For example we all think of the Terminator when we hear "Hasta La Vista Baby." Further, in approaching additions to this article I believe the article would benefit from having a more anthropological lens in addition to the already great social justice lens it was written in. One useful resource you could using google's Ngram viewer. You can track how many times a word was used in books set within the time frame you choose. It automatically sets it from 1800 to 2000. It would be interesting to look into the history of mock Spanish. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Michey0829 (talk • contribs) 01:53, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

Peer Review
I think the contributions added to the article give a lot of insight when looking at both how it can be seen as having positive and negative connotations, really well down. Although it does seem slightly wordy I think the best way for this is to break up the information into sections that will help it seem less like an essay in a sense. Also I think adding a couple of examples of mock Spanish usage in different social settings would be neat since there is a lot of evidence and research already added to the article. Other than that it is an interesting article. Dmoral37 (talk) 06:36, 26 February 2019 (UTC)Dmoral37 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dmoral37 (talk • contribs) 06:31, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

Mock Spanish
Hi, I had a quick note about your addition. Avoid saying things like 'it is important', as importance is subjective to the reader, writer, and source material. What's important to one may be of lower importance to another, as they may view a different aspect as more important. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:52, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
