I will review this article.48JCL (talk) 22:35, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Referencing and citations

a. Criterion seems to be met

b. Pass, inline citations are there.

c. Pass, no original research.

d. No plagiarism found

Illustrations and pictures

Maybe add images? Pretty sure it says “if possible” so I don’t think this is a big problem

Neutrality

Article seems to be neutral.

Well-written

a. Passes, but maybe another paragraph for improvement? Also, grammatical errors: “On October, 1989” should be “In October 1989” "On October, 1989" should be "In October 1989," without the comma. "Keneng Land Board v. Kabelo Matlho and Others" should be "Kweneng Land Board v. Kabelo Matlho and Others" for consistency. In the sentence "It also proposed that violations of the Tribal Land Act be prosecuted through customary law in specially created land tribunals instead of through statutes in court," there's a slight repetition with "instead of through statutes in court." You might consider rephrasing for clarity and conciseness. In the sentence "Instead, the government determined that landowners should be allowed to keep developed land after paying a fine of 5,000 pula, with seizure and compensation then considered otherwise," the phrase "considered otherwise" could be clarified. Perhaps something like "with the possibility of seizure and compensation being considered differently" would make the meaning clearer. In the sentence "Mmusi and Kwelagobe insisted that the commission had been filled with political enemies as part of a conspiracy to oust them from the BDP," it might be clearer to specify "BDP leadership positions" instead of just "the BDP."

b. If I’m not mistaken, land boards does not need to be linked twice. Same with peri urban. “Many residents” seems to be slightly redundant. Other than that,

Stable

This article is stable with no edit wars or vandalism seen in version history

Broad

a. This is good, but maybe add another paragraph of background or prose, just to improve the article even more.

b. Pass

Overall[edit]

Pass or fail:

Final comments[edit]

No more concerns. Maybe address the previous concerns and I’d be happy to pass 48JCL (talk) 22:10, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
