Fairly well-written. Only a few comments: Sainsf (talk · contribs) 11:28, 22 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

General

Refer to him consistently as "De la Rúa" once you have mentioned him by full name.
Stick to either "%" or "percent" consistently

Early life

Wikilink "Peronist"

Mayor of Buenos Aires

"Buenos Aires" is a duplink

Presidential elections

Wikilink Carlos Menem

Presidency

An inline explanation, short one, would help for piqueteros. Try the same for "War on Terror"
Mention Cavallo by his full name only on first mention
Cavallo's name is a linked twice, and both are duplinks

Public image

He was nicknamed "Chupete" because of this What exactly does his nickname translate to?
De la Rúa suffered from Arteriosclerosis Why does the disease name begin with caps?

- Done, except for the requested wikilink to Carlos Menem. He had already been wikilinked in "Early life", at the point Menem was elected president. Cambalachero (talk) 14:55, 22 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I am happy to promote this. Sainsf (talk · contribs) 05:46, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The medical sentence isn't clear/logical. "Although it is a standard, simple medical intervention, the medic told the press De la Rúa suffered from arteriosclerosis, which is usually linked with a lack of speed and reflexes" - what intervention? Also, Parkinson's gives lack of speed and reflexes. Atherosclerosis would give leg pain and risk of limb loss. This need clarification, potentially a different source. I don't have the Reato source to check myself. MartinezMD (talk) 02:18, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
