Lead
This article has not been drafted with the original, which makes it a little hard to follow. The lead section in the main article is easy to understand and feels complete. However, the lead in the main article is better than the one in the draft, which feels a little bare. I would suggest keeping the original lead. It gives a good introduction without being too repetitive with later information. "Red soils are an important resource" at the end feels like it needs more information/is an incomplete sentence. Why is it important? Without further explanation, this feels opinionated. Maybe an extra line after it making up 13% of land on where this land is (Asia?) which you expand on later.

Structure
The structure feels a little repetitive with the "red soil in...". Perhaps have a section of "Red soil areas" and then sub-sections for each country. I would also consider moving the Red Clay in India section up as that seems to be the focal point of the information and you can have other examples at the bottom. Are there more general characteristics? This feels a little bare. The composition and soil fertility sections look good. It looks like some of the other drafted sections are incomplete.

Balance
The article needs more balance between the other areas since the information is mostly India-centric. The Indian red soil content is fantastic, but is there anything under the Indian red soil descriptions that can be generalized in order to provide more balance?

Content
Content feels neutral, although very heavy on Indian Red Soil. As aforementioned I suggest rewording and/or adding context to the "red soils are an important resource" to avoid sounding opinionated.

Good job! I learned a lot about red soils! Cashworth6 (talk) 19:54, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
