Article Evaluation

Lead Section

This article's lead section is quite concise, with an informative first sentence that explains what Sulu is and a second paragraph that gives a few more details about the province. However, its lead is lacking a description of the article's sections.

Content

This article is very up to date, as it contains information from the Philippines' 2020 Census. However, its population statistics listed by municipality are from 2015 rather than 2020, so they should be updated.

Overall, the article provides a comprehensive, yet not too detailed overview of Sulu's history, geography, demographics, religion, languages, and economy. Its government structure could be clarified, though, as only former and current Governors and Vice Governors are listed without any details.

Tone and Balance

This article is fair and balanced. As a non-controversial topic, there is little reason for its contributors to attempt to sway its readers or editorialize.

Sources and References

Sources are where this article falls flat. Understandably, much of its demographic data comes from the Philippine Statistics Authority, but the majority of its history sections are based on a few sources, none of which are peer-reviewed academic journals. Many of its history sections do link to other articles with a "Further information" subheading, but the information within the article could still be cited themselves.

Its non-history sections lack sources even more so. For example, its Economy section has a singular reference early in its first paragraph, and that reference is not even full. It only contains a hyperlink and "cnn." This trend continues in other sections, such as its Demographics section, where only the first paragraph is cited.

Organization and Writing Quality

This article is well-organized and written, although there is overlap between its Demographics and Administrative Divisions sections.

Images and Media

This articles' images are not too invasive and effectively complement the article. Their captions are concise, and they are not copyrighted.

Talk Page Discussion

The talk page of this article is fairly empty - the last messages were from a few years ago. However, it is part of the WikiProject Tambayan Philippines and has a C-Class rating.

Overall Impressions

This article is quite informative overall, yet it is missing key sources. If its information can be backed by references and valid sources, it will be in a very good place.

Question

In the Religion section, the article mentions that Tableegh have been trying to propagate their form of Islam. Has this led to any conflicts?
