Y The only image used is a headshot of Ramos, which was uploaded by the Asamblea Legislativa Plurinacional via their official Flickr account under CC 2.0 generic license. — Chao Garden 🌱 ~ say hello20:59, 25 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
Y No Copyvio issues flagged on Earwig, though check has limited effectiveness because the sources are in Spanish. That being said, I did not notice any close paraphrasing when I conducted a source spotcheck (see section below). Therefore, marking this criteria as passed. — Chao Garden 🌱 ~ say hello20:59, 25 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

Notes
He toiled during school breaks to cover the costs of clothing and school supplies, and to support his mother and siblings. In 1997, following his discharge, he became a full-time mineworker.
Confirmed he talks about working during school breaks to pay for these things. Perhaps "toiled" is a bit more expressive than just saying "worked" but, given that he was a child at the time, I think the word fits.
In 2009, Ramos was elected president of the Departmental Federation of Mining Cooperatives of Potosí (FEDECOMIN),
Confirmed he was elected leader of "MAS-IPSP for Potosi" caucus during these years. Is it necessary to specify MAS-IPSP vs just Movement for Socialism / MAS? Let's discuss below this table.
Though Ramos was not nominated for a second term, and left office on 18 January 2015, cooperative mineworkers remained represented in parliament.
Página Siete 18 January 2015. Romero 2018, p. 489.
Y
Romero establishes that he wasn't reelected, and Página Siete covers that mineworkers still have influence in parliament.
Representing Unified, Ramos ran against René Arriola of the Huari Huari cooperative for the nomination of delegates from the city of Potosí. The victor faced other candidates at FENCOMIN's national congress in Cochabamba. Potosí's mining cooperatives sought to retain the presidency against contenders from other departments.
1c — Is it necessary to specify "MAS-IPSP caucus"? Or is "MAS caucus" sufficient? (This question can be expanded generally to just any mentions of MAS instead of MAS-IPSP specifically) — Chao Garden 🌱 ~ say hello20:59, 25 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

Article is neutrally written, sufficiently broad and focused. I don't have any prose feedback. — Chao Garden 🌱 ~ say hello 20:59, 25 September 2026 (UTC)
His predecessor and successor are not in the article body. Per MOS:INFOBOXCITE, could you add citations to the infobox to support that info? — Chao Garden 🌱 ~ say hello 20:59, 25 September 2026 (UTC)
