Ethiopian Civil War : Start-class; Top-importance for Africa, Ethiopia, Eritrea and Somalia; listed as a level-4 vital article in History . Despite all of this, the article is sparse on details, entire sections lack sources, and overall, it does not cover this topic adequately at all. Marking this as needing expert attention for the past few months has, unfortunately, done very little to change this. If anyone has the knowledge or time to help improve this page, it would be greatly appreciated. XTheBedrockX (talk ) 23:36, 30 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Ekpe . The article is currently marked low importance, but I believe it should possibly be higher due to the society's substantial appearance in western media, often with heavily racist overtones. I have attempted to improve the situation, but I would much appreciate additional perspectives, especially from any available experts. Thank you! StereoFolic (talk ) 17:40, 16 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] EpicSnek Talk to me here 00:19, 24 May 2021 (UTC) [ reply ] the old version of the page on the Fante dialect , before I edited it, to the current Fante dialect page, which is still far from finished. Linguistics is my area of expertise, but not African linguistics, so if anyone is able to assist with editing those language pages, I believe it's necessary. Lingvulo (talk ) 23:38, 26 December 2019 (UTC) [ reply ] History of the Democratic Republic of the Congo is start-class, top importance. I just added a lead section for the article, but it still needs a lot of references. If anyone could help with that, that would be great. PointsofNoReturn (talk ) 22:15, 19 May 2014 (UTC) [ reply ] Oduponkpehe stub-class, ranked mid-importance. There are currently two separate articles, Kasoa and Oduponkpehe , that each provide very minimal and inconsistent information about the same town. I would like to condense these two articles into one titled "Kasoa (Oduponkpehe)". In this article, I would like to keep as much of the two articles' original content as is appropriate. In addition, there is a significant amount of critical information that is not included. I would like to add a substantial amount of information that will be drawn from credible and neutral sources. I welcome suggestions, especially regarding relevant information to consider and credible sources that may be relevant. For more information, please refer to the article's Talk Pages and/or my User Talk Page. I sincerely appreciate your time and consideration. Thank you. Brookeethleen (talk ) 01:50, 28 February 2014 (UTC) [ reply ] Malawian food crisis . I plan on drawing from scholarly sources (articles from academic journals about the early 2000s food crisis), reports from NGOs (UN, ActionAid, etc.), and some news articles. Although I would, ideally, like to draw from only scholarly sources, not much information is available about the current food crisis beyond news articles and some reports from NGOs. Please let me know if you have any feedback on my proposed edits, or any suggestions as to what other reliable sources I could look at. I am working on this page as part of my work as a Poverty, Justice, and Human Capabilities minor at Rice University.Avw1 (talk ) 14:57, 25 February 2014 (UTC) [ reply ] Brookeethleen (talk ) 00:01, 9 October 2013 (UTC) [ reply ] Multi-Party National Convention of South Africa start-class, ranked top-importance. I created two related articles, the first is about a consequential meeting of political parties in South Africa that took place on 16 and 17 August 2023 and the second is about the resultant agreement, and my intention is to provide a basis for editors to add and enhance its contents in future. Here follows the links to the articles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Multi-Party_National_Convention_of_South_Africa List of kingdoms in Africa throughout history list-class, ranked mid-importance. I could do with some help regarding Comparison as there are so many that have enough material on them to grade them but it's too much work for me to do alone. I'm aware it is WP:SYN however I do think that this should be one of the exceptions to this rule as it adds a lot to the article and can't really be abused.If your subjects have to do with countries that do not use English as an official language, in addition to posting your image requests on the list, on the talk page(s) of the subject(s), and on the Wikimedia Commons (Commons:Commons:Picture requests ), please also post them on the photograph request lists on other Wikipedias.
