b) it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail.

Rating: - (0-10)

Comments: -

c) categories: is the entry categorized in a correct way? (Which categories are missing?)

8. Illustrated: if possible, by images, maps, schematic overviews: a) images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content;
