Comments edit

If the comment is numbered, it must be addressed for the article to pass, if it is bulleted, it's an optional suggestion or comment that you don't need to act on right now.
When I quote things, you can use ctrl+f to search the page for the specific line I quoted.

  1. "(Escuela México)" Same question as on Talk:Espanto I/GA1
    Removed
  2. "As El Espanto he would wear an all black and white ring gear..." Is this the correct way to phrase this? I would put it as "he would wear an all black and white ring gear" but I'm unsure if this is the way ring gear is talked about.
    I think "an" should be removed, so I did ;-)
  3. "A couple of months later El Santo would unmask Espanto I" The prose here is a little unencyclopedic and imprecise. Is there an estimate of how many months? If not, I can't fault you for that, but if there's something more precise that would be preferred.
    Unfortunately the Espanto II match does not have a date in any source I can find, only "1963", one said summer but that's as close as I could get so "a couple of months" is as close as I could get.
  • Having read all three at this point, I feel like Los Espantos, Espanto I, and Espanto II should probably be merged. The amount of novel information on each one of them is rather limited, and the three articles have very heavy overlap. This is not part of the GA criteria and so is not going to factor into the review, but I think it's something to think about.
  • I started out with just Los Espantos, but then got into details of their "pre-Espanto" career and Espanto II/III's career after Espanto I's death and I spun them into seperate articles as I was writing and researching, to allow each article to be more focused.
