Article Critique[edit]

I visited the Colombian nationality law page on Wikipedia, and found three aspects of it worth commenting on: its lack of citation, the age of the existing citations, and its completeness.

Citation[edit]

After reading the article, I noticed that it is missing the proper citations for the information provided. Most of the information in the article is not verifiable due to its lack of citations. Articles located on Wikipedia are not useful unless their citations are from reliable sources; Even if the information is correct, if the article lacks reliable sources, it cannot be trusted the same way you would not trust everything you read on the internet. This article could be greatly improved if the proper citations were added.

Age[edit]

This article talks about the current legislation related to Colombian citizenship and its regulations. As a democratic country, Colombian legislation evolves with time. since the laws can change, it's important to make sure the information presented is as current as possible, with periodic updates as required by changes in legislation. The oldest citation was from 2010, and most other citations were at least two years or older.

Structure/Completeness[edit]

The article is missing some important information related to the Colombian citizenship that would benefit this article. For example, this article does not talk about the agencies in charge of the naturalization process to become a Colombian citizen.

Summary[edit]

In conclusion, this article has a lot of potential. The article provides a good amount of information related to the Colombian nationality law or citizenship law, but unfortunately its lack of citations makes it unreliable. This article presents no reference for the sections titled; Nationality by birth, Nationality by naturalization, Dual nationality, and Colombian citizenship. Thus, it is impossible to confirm the veracity of the article's information.
