Assessment of an article under the topic African countries.
Article: Nigeria
Details of the assessment method can be found at the main page. Feel free to add comments when you assess an article, or use the talk page for discussion.
- Coverage and factuality: 7.5
- The article runs the spectrum from outstanding to undeveloped. Has no references or inline citations, although some of the subarticles do (that is fine, although they should 1. be not only in edit mode and 2. references should also be put in the main article). Some sections, such as the history one and its subarticle, are excellent. Others, such as the culture one, are not. Needs expansion, so all sections are as good as the early ones.
- Writing style: 8
- The article itself is fine; all spelling and grammar is correct as far as I can tell. The subarticles are not so good. The geography one is particularly disappointing (the "slightly more than twice the size of California" has CIA factbook copy written all over it). Some really good prose, some very mediocre. Again, the article is very inconsistent.
- Structure: 9
- Subarticle system is done effectively, and the lead is of the right length. Templates look good and add much to the article. The best aspect of the article.
- Aesthetics: 8
- Look of the article is professional and well laid out. Images are well chosen, but a few more wouldn't go amiss. Subarticles (again) range from beautiful to no so beautiful. Not "listy" as well, which is a good thing.
- Overall: 7.5 (not an average, I know, but I rate coverage and factuality considerably above aestetics, for example)
