Plan de Sánchez massacre

A particularly nasty massacre from 1980s Guatemala, and the subject of an important Inter-American Court of Human Rights ruling just last year (largest financial award ever). The anniversary is later this month, too (18th). I'd like to see if it could be dragged up to WP:FA status: there are precious few Latin American featured articles and, as far as I can see, no Guatemalan ones. –Hajor 1 July 2005 19:53 (UTC)

Small thing. There's no pics! The map is relevant for setting a context, and I know it would be hard to find relevant photos, but please try and scrounge something. It's awful hard to read an article that long on the net if there's nothing to look at. Harro5 July 3, 2005 09:46 (UTC)

Very good point, thanks. I'll try. –Hajor 3 July 2005 14:55 (UTC)

Also the redlinks are a little distracting. Sorry I can't be more help; I'm woefully ignorant on the subject matter or I'd write up some stubs. --Scimitar 4 July 2005 23:05 (UTC)

That shouldn't be too difficult; thanks for calling my attention to it. (Haven't got any pictures, have you?) –Hajor 4 July 2005 23:45 (UTC)

The lead is far too short, it needs to summarise the content of the article. What referencing system does the article use?--nixie 12:33, 15 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It's close. As the others have said, the lead needs to summarize the article in a few paragraphs, and the references need to be tightened up. For images, you might look at the commemorations shown here, for which you might want to write the webmaster and ask permission to license them under the GFDL. – Quadell ^{(talk) (sleuth)} 13:48, July 15, 2005 (UTC)

OK, I've covered the redlinks (all but 2), and greatly expanded the lead section. The references are using in-line links (with paragraph numbers specified when the link is to a particular section of a long document; otherwises, unqualified auto-numbered ext lks). I did have a look at this {{FN3| business, but found it impenetrable and the final presentation, with superscripts disrupting line spacing, unfortunate. The main source documents are listed in the ==Refs & Ext Lks== section. By "tightening up" -- what, exactly? Date accessed? What else? W/r/t the pictures (nice site, btw; thanks, Quadell, and for the encouragement, too), I'm in a bit of a quandary. I'm a firm believer that fair use is cheating, but I'm also not a great fan of sending unsolicited e-mails in which I have to explain just what the heck this "GFDL" thing is. It's definitely there at the back of my mind, however. –Hajor 17:11, 15 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
