1. Well-written:
	1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.	"Polytechnic School [es] of Guatemala, where he earned the rank of sub-lieutenant" I presume the school is a military academy, but this is not clear from the text? "Martínez was promoted to the rank of lieutenant on 17 November 1903; to captain on 23 August 1906; to captain major that same year during the Third Totoposte War against Guatemala, where he fought under former Salvadoran president and Brigadier General Tomás Regalado; to lieutenant colonel on 6 May 1909; and to colonel on 15 June 1914" This is a bit of a run on sentence, I think three semi-colons is the most I have ever seen. Are there some more details around his colonel level promotions? "El Salvador was scheduled to have presidential elections in 1931. " And then they happened right? "was scheduled" is an odd way to phrase this There is an overall theme of odd sentence structure and sentences that are too long. I assume this is because you are translating the article from Spanish which is fine. However, please see my recent edit to the 1931 section where I broke up the sentences. Go through the whole article and try to use that style of breaking up the sentences. This will give it a much more pleasant read in English.
	1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.
2. Verifiable with no original research:
	2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.
	2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).	"Martínez's endorsement probably did not sway many voters" -- verified, However his endorsement is important for either reasons as the source specifies and should be covered here. "Maximiliano Hernández Martínez was born on 21 October 1882 in San Matías, El Salvador. His parents were Raymundo Hernández and Petronila Martínez. Martínez[a] earned his bachelor's degree in San Salvador, El Salvador's capital city, after which he enrolled in the Polytechnic School [es] of Guatemala, where he earned the rank of sub-lieutenant" -- verified
	2c. it contains no original research.
	2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism.	Earwig check looks good.
3. Broad in its coverage:
	3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.	There are 11 years in between the end of the early life section and 1931. What happened then ?
	3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
	4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
	5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
	6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.
	6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.
	7. Overall assessment.
