Format: # [[Article title]], class. Details on what should be done (optional). ~~~~

Congo (Brazzaville) Civil War, stub, basically is an infobox with no article, could really do with some text. Belovedfreak 17:50, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
The Historical Background to Church Activities in Zambia, This is a new article, but based on previous work and I need assistance to bring it up to the correct Wikipedia standards. Thanks.
Ashanti, article. I think the article could be expanded and refined. It's still a bit rough and some of the information even if its true or beneficial will be deleted without proper citation. Research on this subject shouldn't be too difficult. Higher standards

[edit] All
