This looks pretty strong already, though there are two issues:

1. It needs a copyedit, particularly the non-definition "The 2010 Guatemala City sinkhole is a sinkhole in Guatemala City". Also, if the sinkhole has been filled in, use the past tense, "was" not "is".

2. It could use an overhead view of some sort, even if it's just the approximate dimensions of the sinkhole drawn onto an overhead view taken before or after.

Fix those, and it should be ready for GA. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 19:01, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the review! I have removed the non-definition. I also found the sinkhole on google maps and it is indeed filled in. As a result I have changed the verb tense. 069952497a (U-T-C-E) 19:28, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have also found an image which depicts the sinkhole from above. It is included in the article now. 069952497a (U-T-C-E) 20:01, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Right. The lead is still a little weak - I copyedited a little - but for an event that is, in the end, a one off, this is a good, comprehensive article.

It's a fairly short article, but the subject is, in the end, a single, one-off event, which limits the scope. It may be worth throwing an after-it-was-filled-in-image as well, but on the whole, ✓ Pass. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 20:48, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review! 069952497a (U-T-C-E) 20:54, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Follow-up?

What was the outcome? Did they fill up the hole, wall off the neighborhood, pave it over, ... ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.169.136.119 (talk) 17:05, 16 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It was filled in. I will add that to the article shortly. 069952497a (U-T-C-E) 20:33, 16 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I had to look up what "lodocreto" was. It is actually a kind of soil cement, so I added the link. I also did the same to the mention in the article about the 2007 Guatemala City sinkhole. 192.40.239.178 (talk) 20:38, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
