Corruption in Equatorial Guinea

edit
  • ... that despite having the highest per capita GDP of all African nations, Equatorial Guinea is ranked one of the lowest countries by measure of the quality of life?

  • @DaltonCastle: you need to include the nominated article in the hooks; as formulated none of the hooks are usable. Belle (talk) 22:04, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
  • I've bolded the links to the nominated article (which is required for DYK hooks) except for ALT4, which I've struck entirely as it's far above the maximum length for DYK, and the original hook, which I've struck because it doesn't link to the article at all and doesn't mention any sort of corruption.

  • Full review needed now that hooks have been reformatted. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:25, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
New enough, long enough. ALTs 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7 short enough and sourced, but end abruptly - consider "corruption so entrenched that it could be considered a criminal state". No neutrality problems found, no copyright problems found. QPQ unnecessary and image properly licensed. In addition, the first paragraph of Corruption in Equatorial Guinea#The Nguema/Mongomo group does not have a reference.--Launchballer 11:55, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
I added an inline citation for that paragraph so that all paragraphs are sourced. DaltonCastle (talk) 21:20, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
I will also make new alternates now to accommodate your recommendations, beginning with ALT8. DaltonCastle (talk) 21:21, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
Good to go with any of the new hooks.--Launchballer 08:07, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
