When I was reading this article, I thought I missed something, but this sentence in the first paragraph is worded very badly.

"It largely originated in Mexico,[1] where it is mostly observed, but also in other places, especially by people of Mexican heritage elsewhere."

The first three clauses (It... places) suggest that Day of the Dead originated and is mostly observed in Mexico, but it also originated in other places. Based on the latter part, I think the original author intended to say that Day of the Dead originated and is mostly observed in Mexico, and is also observed in other places, especially by people of Mexican heritage. This is too many ideas for one sentence. I think it should be split into two sentences detailing origin and observance separately.

Welcome!
