GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   It needed dialing in a bit on prepositions (especially "in" vs. "on" — "in Mexican soil", "in public display") which I recognize as an English error that a native Spanish-speaker can easily make, but the article's copy is fine.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):

   Sources are well-balanced with major Mexican publications, international sources, some specialized sources, and also one or two Azeri-language sources. Citation density is appropriate and no major fact goes without a citation; the citations themselves all have translated titles where appropriate. Earwig mostly points out a quote from the NY Times article and one or two common phrases that would have been hard to avoid in encyclopedia copy.

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   Article covers the necessary background on Azeri-Mexican relations and also enough information on Aliyev to be accessible to readers not aware of him (like myself).

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

   This is an important article to get neutrality right, and this one does a good job. It fairly balances Azeri and Armenian claims, protests and even counterprotests, and treats the sensitive topic properly and equitably.

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

   Most edits have been minor edits and not major revisions since nomination.

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

   The article has four images, the first of which is non-free and correctly tagged (and there is no free alternative available). The others are freely available and suitably tagged, providing geographic context, a better look at the map of Azerbaijan that remains on the site, and a CC photo of Aliyev. Captions all look good and assist in integrating the images into the article.

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   This GA has languished a bit, so a reminder to the nominator to update the "as of September 2020" claim area, but that isn't an issue that should derail the nomination. This article meets GA standards.
