Article title
Gentrification of Mexico City
Article Evaluation
The content is deep and mostly relevant in this article. It would benefit from some general organization, especially in the effects section. The article, despite having pretty up to date sources, lacks updates on the the gentrification crisis in response to the pandemic. The effects of remote work and what they call "digital nomads" increasingly become a problem which is worth including. The last discussion was from 2019 which tells me that the interactions and engagement on this article have been minimal.

Article title
Estadio Agustín "Coruco" Díaz
Article Evaluation
The content on this stadium is very minimal and is made up of only one descriptive paragraph. As it is located in the town my family is from in Mexico, we grew up hearing and being witness to its significance in the town as well as it's noteworthy changes; one being its remodeling and reconstructing in 2013. To make the stadium bigger, the town's library and an elementary school were torn down. These things are important to the people who live there and I believe are important to tell in this article.

Article title
Mercedes Sosa
Article Evaluation
Though this article does speak on much of the awards he received, as amplified in the talk section, there is an absence of how Sosa used her music to speak in a unique way about politics. It also does not make sense that the Life and Death sections are separated by Awards. Even then, I wonder if Life can be divided into smaller sections for coherence. The information here is neutral and is well cited. She wrote so much music that I wonder if it would be possible to include her entire discography.

Condensed art activism section, should be separated to speak more specifically about his work.
