Review commentary[edit]

This is a 2006 promotion that no longer meets standards: see talk page notification from Feb 2015. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:27, 14 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

FARC commentary[edit]

Issues raised with this article include referencing, prose, and MOS. Nikkimaria (talk) 05:26, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delist. Unsourced statements include "It is a common mistake..." and "This error occurs due to the fact that some people incorrectly believe..." Unclear prose includes "the central emblem is the Aztec pictogram for Tenochtitlan" (I would describe the central emblem as the Mexican coat of arms). Dead links, some of which may not count now as reliable sources. The layout of the page is unusual: partly formatted as a list, with images colliding with or beside formatted quotes/block text (particularly in the Civil ceremonies section).
