Hi! I am V.B.Speranza, and I'll be conducting your GA review. I will see if the article passes good article criteria. V.B.Speranza (talk) 12:54, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Structure

• Right off the bat I see that the first paragraph is huge, maybe try to transfer some information to other topics or create new ones. I also suggest adding more paragraphs, but that might be just my personal opinion. Please check WP:MOSLAYOUT to fix this and other structure related problems.

I'm a tad confused. On my computer the first paragraph in the lead is three lines. APK hi :-) (talk) 04:26, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

Did you mean the entire lead? Yeah, it is quite long. I can try to trim it down. APK hi :-) (talk) 06:58, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

Sources

• The entire article has over 2000 words but only 12 sources? And I also find it strange that the same person wrote citations number 10 and 11. The massive 4 inicial paragraphs are 2/5 of the article but contain 0 sources, this needs to be fixes ASAP.

There isn't an abundance of reliable sources for this particular artist. I used what I could find. I've always been told the lead doesn't need sources if the content is sourced in the body of the article, and have had GA's put on hold because of that. In regards to the author in citations 10 and 11, can you specify the issue that needs to be addressed? APK hi :-) (talk) 04:26, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

• • The phrase «An article in the San Antonio Current said Rodriguez-Diaz "attracted international attention for his ability to combine technical proficiency with political and social commentary to create an instantly recognizable visual style."» unsourced

• • « Rodriguez-Diaz's interest in art started at a young age when he would watch his mother draw on a notebook. When he was around seven or eight, one of Rodriguez-Diaz's cousins gave him drawing pads, charcoal, and kneaded erasers. In seventh grade, he won a contest for his painting of José de Diego, his first portrait. During his teen years, he focused on his studies and art as an escape from dealing with his mother's illness.» unsourced
