I will review this one soon.-- TonyTheTiger ( T/ C/ BIO/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:FOUR) 07:08, 23 June 2012 (UTC) reply

I would ordinarily quickfail this article.

The WP:LEAD at 682 characters of readable prose does not adequately summarize the 15314 characters of readable prose in the main body. This LEAD should be about 2 or three paragraphs and 1500 to 2000 characters, IMO.-- TonyTheTiger ( T/ C/ BIO/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:FOUR) 08:02, 24 June 2012 (UTC) reply
Please include a summary of each section in the LEAD.-- TonyTheTiger ( T/ C/ BIO/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:FOUR) 08:02, 24 June 2012 (UTC) reply
Why is the main image shifted down a paragraph?-- TonyTheTiger ( T/ C/ BIO/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:FOUR) 08:02, 24 June 2012 (UTC) reply
In the absence of an infobox, could this be included on any political templates like those at the top of democracy?-- TonyTheTiger ( T/ C/ BIO/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:FOUR) 08:02, 24 June 2012 (UTC) reply
I see a half dozen paragraphs with no inline citations.-- TonyTheTiger ( T/ C/ BIO/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:FOUR) 08:02, 24 June 2012 (UTC) reply
The article has too many very stubby paragraphs that need to be expanded or merged.-- TonyTheTiger ( T/ C/ BIO/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:FOUR) 08:02, 24 June 2012 (UTC) reply

"Britain, France, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain in Africa, Asia, and the Americas." is this a sentence?-- TonyTheTiger ( T/ C/ BIO/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:FOUR) 08:02, 24 June 2012 (UTC) reply

In light of the Colonialism vs imperialism section File:Colonial Africa 1913 map.svg is quite puzzling. It has a rather meaningless WP:CAPTION that points to an article about "process of invasion, occupation, colonization and annexation of African territory" after you said that was not what this article was about.-- TonyTheTiger ( T/ C/ BIO/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:FOUR) 08:02, 24 June 2012 (UTC) reply
Even in the text you start talking about colonies.-- TonyTheTiger ( T/ C/ BIO/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:FOUR) 08:02, 24 June 2012 (UTC) reply

This article needs to be reworked. I am going to fail this now.-- TonyTheTiger ( T/ C/ BIO/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:FOUR) 08:02, 24 June 2012 (UTC) reply
