This article has been checked against the following criteria for B-class status:
I think this article is severely lacking. The criteria for B-class not only includes being suitably sourced but that Readers are not left wanting. Possible future expansion should be a consideration if a short article attains B-class or not. The content climaxes -- and ends -- after she became the first female general and serving as the chair of the Pan-African Congress on Military Medicine in 2012.
Usually honors and awards are important. In 1995 the subject not only received a Military Medal but a "letter of Congratulation on the manner of serving by the CEMA", In March 2012 she was presented the "Knight in the Ivorian Order of Merit" and in August 2012 the "Knight of the National Order".
Dumelow Greetings, and good answer. A reply; I guess maintenance is sometimes lacking or we are just so far behind and I try to check a multitude of articles. I am currently going through a category with 5,725 articles and I actually stop and revisit. I started this when I found out there was a bot running around reassessing different projects to match sometimes with less than desirable results. I would rather leave comments hoping there is a watching editor. Anyway, if it remains unchanged I will likely try to expand it at a point. However, it may not still reach B-class status. -- Otr500 (talk) 23:48, 15 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Otr500, I've added a bit on her retirement and the celebration of her life. Where did you find details of her knighthoods? It would be good to add those - Dumelow (talk) 09:25, 16 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
