Evaluation of "Foreign relations of Mali"

Lead section

Article has a weak introduction, but is also a subsection of the Politics of Mali topic. It could include the break down of the sections into Multilateral, Bilateral, and Regional relations.

Content

The content is relevant, decently even breakdown between different forms of foreign relations, but there should be less listing of different organizational memberships, and more descriptions of participation in conferences, negotiations, or themes in policy and national interest.

The content is up to date in that it has recent citations and has been edited in the past few days, but there is a content gap in the regional partnerships and more recent bilateral partnerships.

Tone and Balance

The tone is very neutral and does not need any adjustments.

Organization and writing quality

The article is coherent, well-written, and free of noticeable grammar errors.

Images and Media

The images are somewhat relevant, well-captioned, and visually appealing. I think that one addition could be a Malian representative at a conference or one for the G5 Sahel, or other regional partnerships.

Talk page discussion

The talk page of this article mainly summarize changes being made, especially involving edits to the citations. The article is rated top-importance in the Mali topic, mid-importance in the Politics topic, and Mid-importance to the International relations topic.

Overall impressions

I think that this article is a very solid and unbiased foundation for the foreign relations of Mali. Overall, it is a little underdeveloped and I think it could use some expansion in terms of the description of the multilateral memberships and the addition of a regional partnership section.
