In the Modern History section, there is an extended direct quote from a 2017 LA Times article:
"After the mine opened, San Rafael restaurant owner Yanet Pozuelos opened a second location to help serve hundreds of mine employees. Since mining has halted, her business has fallen 60%. “The mine helped us so much,” Pozuelos, 49, said. “We’ve never had a business that gives this many jobs.” One benefit, she said, is that it keeps young people from leaving for Guatemala City or the United States to find better-paying work"
which seems out of place. There is no clear link between this extended quote and modern Xinca history; the quote is seems cherry-picked from an article which is mainly about Topacio Reynoso's untimely death. It is contrary to the principle of neutral POV to have a single quote in favour of mining in this place. The linked LA Times story is relevant, but a more representative summary would be fairer than this single quote. DavidHeap (talk) 14:56, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
