GA review

Latest comment: 16 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

When reading through the article I have identified the following points which I believe need to be adressed before the article is promoted to GA status.

Expand the article to allow it to be more broad in its coverage.
Add more references to verify all points of the article
Find citations for places where ^{[citation needed]} is shown.

I haven't finished looking through the article so i may add more.

If you think I am being unreasonable please tell me. Anonymous101 (talk) 20:25, 2 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Failed GAN as it has been on hold for a while (several weeks) and the issues have not been addressed. Anonymous101 (talk) 14:55, 19 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Reversed changes

Latest comment: 15 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Last changes made to the article reversed, as these were making broad historical claims regarding the nature of the state and kingship which were not properly underpinned by references. Reference to Barbot was incomplete and possibly incorrect. Moreover, edits were made by anonymous editor.

Suggestion is to thrash out the issues first in the discussion section of the Axim article, where the same type of changes were made, and only then copy relevant parts to this article Michel Doortmont (talk) 23:55, 10 December 2008 (UTC)Reply
