Which article are you evaluating?
2012 Africa Cup of Nations

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I wanted to explore a topic that had a lot of information in it but was lacking quality information and some sections were blank. It was also one that happened to be a wikiproject, which I wanted to look into. My impression was that a lot of the sections were edited multiple times but other sections in the article were completely empty. It mattered in my opinion because I do not see a lot of articles on soccer or other social/cultural/ sports in general.

In this article I think the sections discussing the soccer matches, scores, and team positions had the most information in them. They contained the majority of the charts because it was seemingly the easiest information to find and confirm.

Towards the end of the article a lot of information seemed to be missing with a lot of the sections being empty (Sponsorships, Marketing, Mascot, and Matchball).


 * I think that it would be best to keep edit the marketing tab into a sponsorship section, marketing would encompass a lot and would need to find more information for than sponsorships in general.
 * The mascot section was written very casually and did not contain a lot of information in it. I would suggest looking more into other sources since the section was only citing one website.
 * I think that the Matchball section did not have enough information to be in its own section, making a combined section for the mascot and the matchball would be more organized and useful.

In general I think that some of the sections could benefit from being reorganized. With the host information coming after the bid section and expanding on the bids. A lot of these sections have the bare minimum information on them and could benefit from each bid having more detail about it.
