Hemba people

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
It was the article that I was to review for the Wikiproject, that we had in class. And as one of the main editors of the work it was best to evaluate the work that was already there to see if it could be improved.

Evaluate the article
The lead sentence for the article is rather uninformative of what the article is going to cover and could list a few more of the categories that the page has. The first sentence also lists the Hemba as part of the Bantu peoples which throughout the rest of the article is never really mentioned or elaborated on. It probably would be better to list them as a splinter of the Luba Kingdom as that is gone into detail in the history section of the article. The first paragraph of the History category goes into depth about the Hemba Language which should have its own subcategory detailing the evolution and integration of the language into the surrounding area of the east DRC. The location of the culture could also be placed in its own category and give some geographic details about the homeland of the Hemba people and perhaps some other information about the climate and have a map location showing where the culture is found.

The content of the article is a bit outdated with references that have not been updated or are from non-reputable sources such as websites and blog posts, Also the book that was listed in connection with the article is rather old and the choices for it could be updated somewhat. The good thing about the article is it does give an unbiased depiction of facts about the Hemba people, in all it just needs to be updated and expanded upon shedding more light upon these peoples and giving more insight into how they came to be and their culture/modern day influence on the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
