The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as this nomination's talk page, the article's talk page or Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
Overall: Thank you for this article. There are some issues. (1) The hook needs to be re-written in standard English. (2) The header of the article needs to make clear the location of the statue (the header says it was erected by the mayor of Atlacomulco, but it does not state that it was put up in that place). (3). The article says that the destruction of the statue occurred when the new regime took power, but it does not mention any disagreement between the new regime and Obrador. Could we mention their political differences? - Otherwise the destruction does not make sense to readers who do not know the local politics - so the central reason for the existence of the article (the meaning of the destruction of the statue) is missing. I accept that the official enquiry has not yet established who did what and why, but a list of the political differences of the new and old regimes might give us a clue.Storye book (talk) 16:22, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
3. Storye book, This is a tough one because there is no conflict between Obrador and the PRI. In fact, although he [selectively] blames them for the country's problems, he has suggested them to be aligned with him.[2] His "enemy" if anything is the National Action Party (Mexico), the PRI's current ally. But unless there is evidence of someone responsible, I cannot place (or even suggest) any accountability beyond that established by the sources (or legally speaking, the local authorities).

Thank you, Tbhotch. Don't worry, I understand about what you can and cannot say. All the DYK issues have now been resolved, and I have struck out my comments. This nomination is good to go with ALT1. It's a grey tick because I've forgotten most of my Spanish now, sadly. Storye book (talk) 21:13, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
