Flagging Ngalandou Diouf for further review[edit]

Hello, Dadiouf … I recently encountered the article about Ngalandou Diouf and in my opinion, it either lacks sufficient Attribution that it satisfies the Notability criteria for Biographies, or it may violate the Conflict of interest guideline, or perhaps it violates a copyright.

I have created this initial entry on your Talk page because you are either the original author of the article, or else a recent contributor to it; I will leave more detailed information regarding my specific concerns about the article on its Discussion page … please respond either there or on this Talk page, instead of on my Talk page, in order to avoid fragmenting the conversation.

Be sure to read Ownership of articles, and remember that Some Other Editors (including at least one administrator) may not share your opinion about the notability of the article's subject.

I do not mean to imply that your contribution is unappreciated … perhaps you should read Your first article … and remember, there was a time when I knew less about how Wikipedia works than you know right now. — Triwbe (talk) 07:55, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Serer[edit]

Hi
I put the tag there because I think that the page still needs copyediting for grammar (e.g. in the patronyms serer section) and, to tell the editor where the content came from, I thought to tag it with "proofreader needed". I didn't realize that you only took parts from the French article - as I said, my French is quite rusty.
I will try to copyedit it myself in a minute instead - can you look over it again when I'm done? Cheers, Amalthea (talk) 10:05, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I just tried copyediting the history section, but I am not happy - I just don't know what I'm talking about here. :)
Could you look over it again and make sure that I didn't break anything?
Anyway, that's why I put the tag up there - to attract editors who know about the topic.
Oh, one other thing - you say yoou based the article both on the Frensh article and on books - can you create a References section in the article and list those books there? At the moment it is completely unreferenced.
Thanks & Cheers, Amalthea (talk) 10:50, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
