A wikipedia page I worked to create as a class project for Poverty, Justice, and Human Capabilities. I was inspired to create this page after learning about the resilience of the community, how it was able to recover from its violent history with guerilleros, paramilitaries, operations Mariscal and Orion. Comuna 13's recovery through social urbanism, community organization and projects, and investment projects is something that has fascinated me, and is an area I would like to continue researching. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alecprofit (talkcontribs) 00:22, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Peer Review[edit]

This was such an interesting read! I love the inclusion of images and both English and Spanish sources. Your article is very well structured, however I think expanding more on the "Narcos" section could help readers understand why and how instability was a product of their prevalence in Comuna 13. I suggest revisiting the sections that have no citations and adding some more. I understand that information might be hard to come across, but it will greatly uplift your topic! This is an optional suggestion, but maybe you can add some translation to Spanish words included (like "Las Granjas") just so non-Spanish speakers can get a better idea of its origin and learn a new word. Again, this is a really great article that informed me on a city's journey that I think can be used to help other cities experiencing similar circumstances.

Peer Review #2[edit]

I agree with Ctrlxem! I really enjoyed reading about Comuna 13 and its rich, tumultuous history. Some suggestions I have are that you consider limiting the scope of your article so that it is easier to follow, or that you add more content to small subsections like the "Narcos" portion. I also suggest limited the lists of names/cities on your article so that you don't overwhelm the reader with unknown information. I also think you should restructure your citations so that they're all under one section instead of three. Lastly, I suggest you heavily proofread your work for grammatical mistakes and spelling errors. Other than that, great article. (Evelyn4712 (talk) 20:49, 25 October 2023 (UTC))[reply]
