Improved to Good Article status by Krisgabwoosh (talk). Self-nominated at 17:11, 8 September 2022 (UTC).
@Krisgabwoosh: Thanks for the article. The correct inline citations are present and the article is neutral. The QPQ is done and the article was recently improved to GA and it is long enough. The image looks to be free (Flickr upload) and has the correct license. The image is clear and interesting as well. I do not see any obvious plagiarism and the copyvio detector does not find any. I found the following issues:
- The first sentence is not supported by the reference: "Bertha Acarapi was born on 7 June 1971 in El Alto" There is no 1971 in the article.
- The sentence: "The election of a woman, especially a chola, was especially historic as the municipal council had until then never had a female president" is not supported by the reference that follows the line.
- Regarding the hook: The source does not say she was recruited; the source does howeverr say she was " the second cholita to work in television". Bruxton (talk) 16:17, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
- Corrected first two points and changed "recruited" to "hired". Krisgabwoosh (talk) 18:28, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks @Krisgabwoosh: I am still not seeing a source that calls out 1971. There are three references following the claim. Bruxton (talk) 02:46, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
- Apologies. The correct citation has been added now. Krisgabwoosh (talk) 02:52, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
- That's a great image, but our Cholo article says that the term is "somewhat derogatory". Do we really want to put that on the front page? -- RoySmith (talk) 19:43, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
- From the article: "In Bolivia, the term "cholita" has overcome former prejudice and discrimination, and cholitas are now seen as fashion icons." Krisgabwoosh (talk) 20:01, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
