Hi MX. I have started to copy edit this for GOCE. If you disagree with any of my edits, or I change something so that it doesn't match the source, or just don't understand why I have made a particular change, don't hesitate to let me know here.

"That same evening, there was a festival at the San José Church, a congregation close to where the ambush occurred, that ended at midnight." This is not a "reaction" and it seems to me that it would be better to move it to the "ambush" section.Gog the Mild (talk) 20:54, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed – Made a copyedit to amend it. Basically just wanted to say that the festival prevented the Red Cross from knowing about the ambush in time. MX (✉ • ✎) 21:54, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"a person in the neighborhood recorded the gunfire sounds for less than two minutes." Does this mean that someone made a sound-only recording of part of the shootout, the recording being of less than 2 minutes of the 2 hour-long gunfight? Gog the Mild (talk) 20:43, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Somewhat hard to explain (not sure how to word it in English). Here is the raw video of the recording. Basically the person recorded it in almost complete darkness from his home. How would you phrase it? MX (✉ • ✎) 21:42, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Should be in American English. I kept the DMY format because that's how it is used in Mexico and also what I'm most accustomed to. I looked at MOS:DATEFORMAT and couldn't find anything in regards to American/British English and date formats. MX (✉ • ✎) 21:42, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Source says: [las camionetas] estaban adaptadas y contaban con aditamentos para colocar sobre ellas el fusil M-60., loosely translated to: "[the vehicles] were adapted and equipped with attachments to place the M-60 rifle on them." I've made the clarification here. MX (✉ • ✎) 19:11, 23 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks.
"the PF raided a ranch in the Michoacán municipalities of Tanhuato [es] and Ecuandureo." I'm not sure how a single ranch can be in two municipalities. Is it on their border? Gog the Mild (talk) 19:40, 23 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Good catch. I double checked the source and others online. The ranch is technically in Ecuandureo, but preliminary sources confused it with Tanhuato because the ranch is right on the border with it (the highway in front of it basically divides both municipalities, and the vehicle persecution happened in Tanhuato and ended with the shootout in Ecuandureo). I've made the change here. MX (✉ • ✎) 20:01, 23 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Looks good to me. I really appreciate the work you've done here. I have no words to express how happy I am with the work you did. It still mindblows me what GOCE is capable of. Happy editing! MX (✉ • ✎) 21:45, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Checked a few of the references, everything looks good

This is a very thorough article. If you're interested, you could take this (or any of your other similarly complete, GA-class articles) to Military history A-class review to get a more thorough review and promotion to A-class.
@Buidhe: Hello! Thank you for the review. I never thought about getting articles to A-class before. Is this usually a common step prior to nominating an article to FA? I'd like to get a FA one day. Perhaps a good goal for 2019! MX (✉ • ✎) 03:19, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@MX: MILHIST ACR is an excellent preparation for FAC. It's a similar process in that there are multiple reviewers, separate source and image reviews etc. There is less time pressure but the standards are almost as high. My article Escape of Viktor Pestek and Siegfried Lederer from Auschwitz was recently promoted to A-class, and I listed a different article, Working Group, for review after it failed to gain consensus at FAC. buidhe (formerly Catrìona) 03:30, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
