  •  Doing... starting review for nomination. Flibirigit (talk) 15:09, 4 March 2019 (UTC)


General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Unknown
  • Interesting: Yes
  • Other problems: No - ALT2 too long
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article created February 12, and nominated the next day. Length and sourcing are adequate. Article is neutral in tone. No plagiarism issues detected. Photo is freely licensed on the commons, and clear and a low resolution. QPQ was completed. Is there any explanation we could insert for the naming convention being different from the article title? Source 1 and "Mme Véronique Aka, première femme présidente de conseil régional" source 2 for ALT0 do not appear in the article. Source 2 does not contain the cited material "Mme Véronique Aka, première femme présidente de conseil régional" to support ALT1. ALT2 is at 205 characters, and needs to be shortened.

Hey, Flibirigit. I added source 2 as citation 10 on the article. Underneath the image where it says "Mme Véronique Aka, première femme présidente de conseil régional," is for ALT0 and ALT1 - I felt as though female and woman could be used interchangeably here, but if it cannot, then we can just keep ALT0. I also fixed ALT2 to fit the 200 character limit. Thanks, Toreightyone (talk) 17:42, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
Thanks. Is there anything update on the name? "Véronique Aka" the title compared to "Aka Véronique Bra Kanon" seems counterintuitive. Is this an Ivory Coast naming convention? Flibirigit (talk) 18:23, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
I believe this was an error on my part, it should be Véronique Aka Bra Kanon. Toreightyone (talk) 01:56, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
ALT0 and ALT1 are now good as per here, and ALT2 has been shortened and verified as per here. Thanks for the changes. Flibirigit (talk) 02:40, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
