St. Paul's Cathedral, Abidjan
edit( )
... that the St. Paul's Cathedral, Abidjan (pictured) is one of the largest cathedrals in the world built at an estimated cost of US $12 million?

I'm admittedly a little dubious that it's still one of the largest cathedrals in the world. Doesn't the source date to 1986? Nearly 30 years ago now. It's vague as it could be one of the 100 largest cathedrals or one of the five largest, we have no idea. I'd change it to that at the time of completion in 1985 or "as of 2002 it was the second largest cathedral in Africa" and be more precise if that's what the source says.♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:55, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

This article is new enough and long enough. The image is appropriately licensed and the hook facts are appropriately cited. The article is neutral and I detected no close paraphrasing. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:17, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
