General info

[edit]

Lead

[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic?
    • The lead is concise and gives me a good overview of who the article is about.
  • Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections?
    • Yes
  • Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article?
    • Yes, but just the last sentence.
  • Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed?
    • Concise

Lead evaluation

[edit]

The lead looks really good overall. You include a good overview of what the article is about. The one thing I would suggest is to include some more information about the lead's last sentence (Mhalu's current work) in the "Career" section, as long as it isn't too repetitive.

Content

[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • Is the content added relevant to the topic?
    • Yes
  • Is the content added up-to-date?
    • Yes
  • Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong?
    • Some

Content evaluation

[edit]

The content all gives me a good understanding about who Mhalu is and his importance in HIV research. I would say that maybe some content missing would be what he is currently working on in the "Career" section. I think that because you included brief information on that in the lead you should mention it in more detail in the article. For the "TANSWED" section, I understand that because there is not article on it you want to give readers an overview to better understand the work Mhalu did. I would say though that the article is about Fred Mhalu and most of that section focuses on what TANSWED was. I recommend that you include more information on Mhalu's role/work with TANSWED to balance out the content.

Tone and Balance

[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • Is the content added neutral?
    • Yes
  • Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
    • No
  • Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
    • No
  • Does the content added attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another?
    • No

Tone and balance evaluation

[edit]

The tone of the article is neutral and does not convey any one sided biases,

Sources and References

[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • Is all new content backed up by a reliable secondary source of information?
    • Yes
  • Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic?
    • Yes
  • Are the sources current?
    • Yes
  • Check a few links. Do they work?
    • Yes

Sources and references evaluation

[edit]

All of your sources look good and there are enough citations to back up the information in the article.

Organization

[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • Is the content added well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read?
    • Career section is a bit logn
  • Does the content added have any grammatical or spelling errors?
    • Mhalu was a professor at the Department of Microbiology and Immunology, a Dean of the School of Medicine, and the Director of Postgraduate Studies and Research at Muhimbili University College of Health Sciences (MUCHS) in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania ever since 1977.
      • I would reword it because it's lengthy and I can't tell what "ever since 1977" refers to. Right now it seems to refer to all parts of the sentence and in that case the tense is incorrect.
    • His main area of study revolved around infectious diseases and intervention.
      • should be "revolves"
    • Ever since 1986, he was a main contributor to the information about AIDS in Africa.
      • This should either not be in past tense (change to "he has been"), or you should remove "ever since"
  • Is the content added well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic?
    • Yes

Organization evaluation

[edit]

The organization looks good overall. Just a suggestion, but it might be helpful to break the "career" section into subsections. Also, watch out for grammar and the tenses you use.

For New Articles Only

[edit]

If the draft you're reviewing is a new article, consider the following in addition to the above.

  • Does the article meet Wikipedia's Notability requirements - i.e. Is the article supported by 2-3 reliable secondary sources independent of the subject?
    • Yes
  • How exhaustive is the list of sources? Does it accurately represent all available literature on the subject?
    • 10 sources -- for the length of the article, the amount is pretty exhaustive
  • Does the article follow the patterns of other similar articles - i.e. contain any necessary infoboxes, section headings, and any other features contained within similar articles?
    • Yes
  • Does the article link to other articles so it is more discoverable?
    • Yes, many
