Content: Award up to 7 points for paragraphs
 * Allocated points for the following
 * A paragraphs for this purpose means about two or three sentences of wording. Two or more individual sentences unconnected to a paragraph in an article could be added to assume one paragraph. Conversely if there is a very big paragraph, you count count it as two paragraphs or in some case even three paragraphs. Stuff that isn't focused on the topic is generally dismissed, examples being lists of players name, books written, or moves from a chess game.


 * 1 point: 1-2 paragraphs
 * 2 point: 3-5 paragraphs
 * 3 point: 6-8 paragraphs
 * 4 point: 9-11 paragraphs
 * 5 point: 12-14 paragraphs
 * 6 point: 15-19 paragraphs
 * 7 point: 20+ paragraphs

Lists are an exception being less paragraph related, allocate point out of 7 according to the amount of content and how complete they are.
