History Rearrangement, Addition, & Section Addition

Looking to make additions to this article over the next few months as an assignment for class. --Esqm8 (talk) 16:46, 6 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sources - Roads to Change in Maya Guatemala by John P. Hawkins and Walter Randolph Adams (add to citation); Hemnq9 (talk) 16:50, 6 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

We will be rearranging the history section and distribute the information in to a pre-conquest and post-conquest subsection. To the Post-conquest we have made an addition to add more information on how the culture changed due to the Europeans. We have also added a literature section for information on the Popol Vuh. We have also given information on the rulers in the K'iche' culture. Also, information was added about Utatlan, a major city to the K'iche' people. --Esqm8 (talk) 16:11, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Part of the reason we chose to make these changes was that, with the additions of information we were making could be broken into distinct periods for history. --Esqm8 (talk) 16:16, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Links: The links in the pre-conquest and post-conquest paragraphs have been fixed or updated. Bmdv23 (talk) 15:53, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wikilinks were added to several sections in the article, including the Popol Vuh and K'iche' rulers sections. I also added a picture depicting the location of the K'iche' people in Guatemala and an additional source to the original Popol Vuh paragraph. Hemnq9 (talk) 20:26, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Post-Conquest section was edited and reworded for clarity and the photo was moved in an attempt to bring a better format to the flow of the page. --Esqm8 (talk) 22:18, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Is it possible to remove the message under the history section saying that it needs more verification? I have checked all the wikilinks and sources, and they all work. Additional information with sources, along with new sources for the original content, have been added to this section. Does this warrant the removal of this message?Hemnq9 (talk) 07:50, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I plan to make a couple additions to this article as part of an assignment for class. My additions will largely consist of the addition of a section on the history of the K'iche' people during the Guatemalan genocide of indigenous peoples. This section would discuss actions by both the K'iche' people and the Guatemalan government relating to the conflict, and this section might also involve some of the long-term effects of the conflict. I will continue to add information and sources for my changes as I continue looking at sources. Flatstanleyswiki (talk) 00:04, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What happened?

This article was alright for the past few years, but recently ONE editor has made subpar edits with several grammatical errors. Help? Despressso (talk) 15:34, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
