Content Guiding questions: Is the content added relevant to the topic? -Yes, it looks like you edited/added an existing section from the original article (South America) and created the topic Latin America.

Is the content added up-to-date? -Yes, among the resource list you've provided, it looks like many references are from 2020-2021 which tells me the content has been updated.

Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong? -Not necessarily - as a reader, I'm curious why you've chosen to use "Latin America" vs. South America. I thought that SA refers more to the geographical area, whereas LA refers to linguistic/cultural part, however, I could be inaccurate.

Tone and Balance Guiding questions: Is the content added neutral? -Yes, generally, information is presented in a neutral tone. Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? -Overall, not really. There are some word choices "the great importance" which could be presented in a more unbiased/neutralized tone.

Sources and References Guiding questions: Is all new content backed up by a reliable secondary source of information? -In text citations/references are used throughout to back up the content presented. ''Does the content accurately reflect what the cited sources say? (You'll need to refer to the sources to check this.)'' -After checking in on the sources (as someone with little to no knowledge of this topic - yes, I found the content to reflect the information presented in the sources). ''Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic? Are the sources current?'' -Varied - there are some sources which are a bit older (90s) but there is also a mix of current research (2000-2020 range). ''Are the sources written by a diverse spectrum of authors? Do they include historically marginalized individuals where possible?'' -Yes diverse spectrum - only 1 repeat author out of the 15 included.

Organization Guiding questions: Is the content added well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read? -Yes, concise and to the point (I didn't find it to be too wordy) and I found the language used to be accessible even though I don't know much about the topic. Does the content added have any grammatical or spelling errors? -A few minor errors - spacing (double in between words/no space after a period). I also believe that Indigenous should be capitalized throughout. Is the content added well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic? -Yes content is broken down into nicely organized paragraphs.

Overall impressions Guiding questions: Has the content added improved the overall quality of the article - i.e. Is the article more complete? -The newly developed/revised section, focussing on Latin America is helpful and follows the structure of the original article which is broken down into the separate regions. What are the strengths of the content added? -I like the additions of the images and the use of references throughout to build on ideas presented. The use of images/visuals helped me to gain an understanding of the text. How can the content added be improved? -Perhaps a few more links to direct wiki articles (i.e. calmecac) which was mentioned in the first section. I ended up reading about this on my own by searching for it on Wiki but it could be made more easily accessible by putting in the direct link.
