Review by Danaman5
Needs more coverage of habits, characteristics.
 * Coverage and factuality: 7

Very stilted language, long, unnecessary quotations. Fairly good lead, if awkward.
 * Writing style: 7

Fairly good, some sections may need retitling and/or rearranging.
 * Structure: 8

Needs more drawings of the tiger itself. Without that, the article loses much appeal.
 * Aesthetics: 6
 * Overall: 7

Review by violet/riga

 * Coverage and factuality: 5
 * Very poor referencing. Seems to cover most things fairly well.


 * Writing style: 7
 * Confusing language used ("the smallest subspecies of tiger found in Iran, Iraq..." in one place and "Of all the tigers known to the world, the Caspian tiger, now extinct, was the third largest" elsewhere). Language is too informal in places.


 * Structure: 6
 * "Possible Turkish sightings" is very poor, being over-reliant on excerpts (which I hope are not copyvio). Poor linking to other articles.


 * Aesthetics: 6
 * There must be some more photos available.


 * Overall: 6

Needs a good copyedit and is desperately short of references. violet/riga (t) 20:29, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
