[edit] Review by Batmanand

  • Coverage and factuality: 5
The article itself and the subarticles seem to be good, but with almost no references and no inline citations it is often not verifiable. Summaries of subarticles are probably too short; each one could do with being twice as long. Geography section is clealy incomplete, and the culture and education sections need subarticles. A general explansion is needed.
  • Writing style: 8

Spelling and grammar is fine, and the writing stayle is generally lucid. No major problems here.

  • Structure: 8
Lead should probably be extended, as part of general expansion mentioned above. The subarticle system is fine. Images are well-placed (really like the big one in the culture section, even though I would agree to disagree with others who do not share my opinion). Wikilinks well and not repetitively.
  • Aesthetics: 7
Looks nice, although could do with a few more pictures. Templates are well integrated. A better map would be a big improvement.
  • Overall: 6 (not an average, I know, but I rate coverage and factuality considerably above aestetics, for example)
A work in progress, this article has the potential to be excellent. What it needs it more: more prose, more references and citations, more images, more subarticles. But nothing (except the referencing) has been done so far that is "bad"; it is just that so far there is enough of it!
