I will take on this review! I typically prefer to make copyedits myself and only place comments here when I have questions, though of course as always you should feel free to change or discuss any edits you happen to disagree with. Looking forward to it! ~ L 🌸 (talk) 07:35, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

• I made a pass through the prose. I added a few minor bits of extra context where, as a novice to the topic, I found myself wanting some more hand-holding (feel free to adjust these of course) but overall it it looking very good. I do have two questions I couldn't resolve myself:
  • Was there really a tannin industry in Paraguay, and not a tanning (leather) industry? (It's mentioned in the "Growth" section) ~ L 🌸 (talk) 23:16, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    • Source check confirmed it really was tannin! I had no idea that was a thing people produced/exported on purpose. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 01:34, 7 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Since there were two Ayalas, should Under the Ayala administration pluralize "administration"? Or are Eusebio and Eligio usually considered one "administration"? ~ L 🌸 (talk) 23:16, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    • Good catch, I pluralised it. --Grnrchst (talk) 09:40, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Images are optional for GA, but I wanted to at least consider some, so here's me "thinking aloud" a bit. This is the best image I could find of the Asunción trams (to illustrate the strike) but I'm not in love with it. I don't think there are any individuals for whom a photo might be due. Perhaps some of the newspapers they published have been digitized, and you could find the front page of one..? Seems like this is an article that may just have to remain unillustrated. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 23:16, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Unfortunately I wasn't able to find any photographs of the union in action, or digitisations of its newspaper. The best I could do is add an image of Ignacio Núñez Soler to the establishment section (although this would certainly result in sandwiching), or one of the Ayalas to the "Decline and dissolution" section. --Grnrchst (talk) 09:45, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Hm, good ideas worth considering, but I’m not sure that either is super beneficial to the article. The sandwiching isn’t worth it, and I don’t love visually emphasizing Ayala when he wasn’t a worker or union member. Thank you for brainstorming on it though! I’m now definitely satisfied that the article is appropriately (un)illustrated. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 18:24, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• For the spot check, I'll look at cites 5, 6, 16, and 19 as numbered in this diff. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 01:34, 7 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • For 5 I could only access one of the two sources in the ref (Nickson 1989, pp. 70–71), but it verified the info well without copyvio/close paraphrase. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 01:46, 7 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Similarly for 6 I just checked Bozzolasco & Rojas 2023, pp. 109–110; no issues there. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 01:46, 7 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • For 16, maybe a quibble, but the article says The Paraguayan trade union would remain fragmented... while the source refers to a fragmented trade union movement. I interpret the article phrasing as meaning that CORP was fragmented, but I think the source means the whole broader landscape: maybe change to "trade unions would remain..." ?
    • I think I may have neglected to write "movement", my bad. Changed to say "The Paraguayan labor movement". --Grnrchst (talk) 09:47, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • 19 checks out great. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 01:46, 7 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Overall I'm happy with that source check, pending your thoughts on that prose quibble. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 01:46, 7 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@LEvalyn: Thanks for the review. I think I've covered everything. Let me know if there's any more that needs covering. --Grnrchst (talk) 09:48, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Looks great, thanks for the tweaks! ~ L 🌸 (talk) 18:25, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Earwig looks fine-- it's just picking up titles / org names. The overall source list looks like it's all high-quality RS, no red flags. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 01:46, 7 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
