Evaluate the article
Content


 * Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?
 * The only one item which would distract me is the extensive quote in the article, composed of 128 (!) words...
 * Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?
 * The information is not outdated, as most of the article is simply a talk about the history of the border. Added sections could include a better distinction behind the border definition and the border disputes
 * Can you identify any notable equity gaps? Does the article underrepresent or misrepresent historically marginalized populations?
 * The article talks about the smaller tribes / nomadic people living in Qatar determining the border before "official" accounts were made of the border.
 * What else could be improved?
 * not neccesary for an article this size

Tone


 * Is the article neutral? Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
 * Neutral tone.
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
 * The quote / viewpoint is somehwat extensive, but not out of place
