Article Awka-Etiti

Hi all. I recently created and am developing the article Awka-Etiti. Online sources are few. I would be grateful for independent assessment and ideas for further development. Thanks.Ochiwar (talk) 12:30, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

FAR

I have nominated Kingdom of Makuria for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Dana boomer (talk) 15:17, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Should the French name of Algeria be listed in the lead section?

Please see Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Algeria#Listing_French_name_in_lead_in_Algeria_article on a debate about it. I have contributed heavily to Languages of Algeria which discusses the language situation in Algeria. WhisperToMe (talk) 02:33, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

Cameroon FAR

Fixed several errors for the Northwest Region (Cameroon) page

Just letting you all know that I reviewed the entire page and fixed several punctuation and syntax errors, missing punctuation, and some awkward wording here and there.

If any of you have the time, you can review my changes and fix anything you might disagree with.

Gouran

Gouran is a relatively new article (created on 13 February 2013‎) that remains unsourced. Posting here for any interested in possibly improving it. Cheers,

Could anyone review this submission? Regards, FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 15:15, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Guaranty Trust Bank

I am not involved, nor I have the time or expertise in the subject, therefore I thought I'd bring this up here before hoping to ANI, so someone knowledgeable in both African companies and the rules of Misplaced Pages can oversee and instruct the editor(s). There seems to be a lot of COI editing, promotional, unsourced on this company. Lots of purported awards received but no sources. Recently they have added a whole unsourced list of officials of the company. Besides being too much information, we do not want to infringe on BLP. I want to avert an edit war and taking administrative action as the company seems notable, just too much fluff and too many unsourced assertions. Any help appreciated. -- Alexf 12:58, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi Alexf, I think you did the right thing in tagging the article as you did. I'd say give it a few more weeks and if secondary-source citations aren't provided, ruthlessly delete any uncited material. If that does turn into an edit war, feel free to ping me directly and I'll take a look too. -- Khazar2 (talk) 13:06, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. Please watchlist and we'll see. I am inclined to deleted the whole list of officials (again) and request more sourcing for awards. -- Alexf 13:12, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Paul Kagame FAC

Just in case anyone missed it and it interested, the article about Rwandan President Paul Kagame is currently up for Featured Article candidature. I've had two full reviews so far (one of which is still in progress), and it's generally looking positive, but it would be useful to get more pairs of eyes on it and further feedback. The FAC page is at WP:Featured article candidates/Paul_Kagame/archive1. Many thanks!  — Amakuru (talk) 11:00, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Thanks to you for getting this to FAC! -- Khazar2 (talk) 12:35, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

French in Algeria Part 2

There is a new topic on the NPOV noticeboard about French in Algeria: Misplaced Pages:Neutral_point_of_view/Noticeboard#Languages_of_Algeria_and_point_of_view_.28part_2.29 WhisperToMe (talk) 00:41, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Rape during the liberation of France

There is a page Rape during the liberation of France, which mentions descrimination against African American soldiers. But some people want to hide historical shame articles. Need some opinions. See Talk:Rape during the liberation of France.--Syngmung (talk) 05:37, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
