[edit] Review by Batmanand
- Coverage and factuality: 6
- Just above average. What is there is fine, although none of the subarticles are yet up to scratch. What is not there are many references or any inline citations. Some sections also need some serious expansion (particularly the geography section and the demographics subarticle), although others (such as the culture section) are getting there. Not bad, but just not good enough yet
- Writing style: 8
- Absolutely fine, easily readable (although the history section could do with a copyedit). This is not the issue for this article
- Structure: 7
- Lead is far too short, although sub-article system (on the whole) works and should be built on. Images are positioned absolutely correctly, and wikilinks are usually OK (more in history section might help)
- Aesthetics: 8
- Again, this is not the issue for this article. It all looks "nice", the images are generally well-chosen, and the maps are spot on. Templates are well incorporated too.
- Overall: 6.5 (not an average, I know, but I rate coverage and factuality considerably above aestetics, for example)
- The foundations are there, but expansion and verifiability are needed. Citations and references would be a good place to start, followed by sorting out the subarticles and lengthening the lead. But keep it up, because there is little "wrong" with what is there at the moment. Batmanand | Talk 00:10, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
