... that for nearly 25 years, Liborio Vidal Aguilar has donated his salary earned as a public official in Yucatán to charitable causes?

5x expanded by Raymie (talk). Self-nominated at 21:11, 25 July 2016 (UTC).

Article is at 5x expansion at time of nomination, there are enough inline citations, it is mostly written neutrally (see point below re: Hook). QPQ done. Hook: Unfortunately I don't think we can use this (though it is the most interesting part of the article) as it has only got one source - and even that one suggests his claim might be to gain political points. Can you find an additional source for this statement? Or an alternative hook suggestion? ツStacey (talk) 15:17, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

@Staceydolxx: Sources 4 and 5 both deal with this topic, and I've added a third. Raymie (t • c) 17:26, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for this; I am much more confident about the hook now; the article does need a sentence to mention that he has been accused of using his donations to gain political points (mentioned in 2 of the sources) - it doesn't seem that is the case but it needs to be mentioned to keep the article neutral. I've given a blue tick as I used google translate to read sources and so can't be 100% sure I interpreted them correctly. ツStacey (talk) 17:39, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

Vidal said that there were no political aims in this initiative; there's no mention of, say, PAN officials concerned of misuse of funds or anything like that, which is why I didn't include it. Raymie (t • c) 18:07, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
