Ygnacio Palomares Peer Review[edit]
Good work, Jose. The article section you have contributed to offers a detailed and objective view of the life and contributions of Palomares. Your sources are solid and appear reputable. I do, however, have a few suggestions to bolster up your person. Conversely, I do know that these individuals we are focusing on are rather obscure in the historical record and reliable sources can be troublesome to mine. What you have found may be all that is presently available, so believe me when I say I understand.
1. Do you think Ygnacio Palomares merits his own Wikipedia entry as opposed to a section in a larger article? You may want to consider creating one.
2. Perhaps expand on his role and doings during the Nicholas Fink trial.
3. You might want to dedicate a section outlining his rise in Southern California politics.
4. Discuss his contributions and details about the apprehension of the Alvitre brothers and the subsequent outcome.
5. What position did he serve during the Mexican American War? The article states that he was a militia captain from 1844-1845 but does not detail his whereabouts from 1846 until he became governor in 1848. Did he do anything significant during the conflict?
6. What were the details of his passing? Natural causes/human causes?
7. Is he interred at Spadra Cemetary? (interesting place to visit right near campus)
8. Are there any portrayals of Palomares in media or literature?
9. Are there any monuments or places named after him?
Overall, I enjoyed the article section and appreciated the inclusion of his family and genealogical history as well as his activities during the mixing of Mexican and American sovereignty during the mid-19th century.
