* [[Guinea-Bisseau Civil War]]
* [[History of Africa]] Article is very poor on African in the 20th Century, just an incomplete list of events. The article also needs to be reduced in size, and some child articles set up for the periods
* [[History of North Africa]] extremely spotty coverage of some periods, 20th century section only talks about Suez canal
* [[International development]] Huge topic, very little on this in Wikipedia anywhere
* [[Jamaican cuisine]] just a stub about a fairly well-known cuisine
* [[María Lionza]] should be a challenging topic to research, but is also a very interesting one.

* [[Pan-African Parliament]] <s>OK, it exists only since September 16th{{Year needed|date=March 2014}, but we should have an article on this...</s>

* [[Recreational drug use in Kenya]]. Got attention in ''[[The New York Times]]'' [http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/25/technology/25link.html article] for its poor condition. Terse, mostly unreferenced, narrowly focuses on heroin, lacks historical context and statistics. I've done what I can, but it's well outside my specialty.

* [[Salif Keita]] One of the best known Mali musicians has a small article
* [[Sarcade]] The article is on an exotic little town in Somalia with 25,000 inhabitants. Would be a real challenge to expand it.
* [[Sétif and Guelma massacre]] Created but could use expansion; a major incident of Algerian history.
* [[Tuareg languages]] - languages of the [[Tuareg people|Tuareg]], stub
* [[Vietnamese television]] could really use some attention from someone who is familiar with the topic or who can read the [http://www.vtv.vn/news/ VTV website] and other information sources that are available only in Vietnamese.  I have looked on the [[:vi:|Vietnamese Wikipedia]] but couldn't find any articles that looked like they might provide useful info upon translation, so it looks like we are on our own. Article should probably also be moved to [[Television in Vietnam]]. - [[User:AdelaMae|AdelaMae]] <sup>([[User_talk:AdelaMae|talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/AdelaMae|contribs]])</sup> 21:20, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

===Request for review/attention of Developing World articles===

* [[HIV/AIDS in Africa]] As of May 2011 more citations are needed. Also I saw a mention in the AIDS Wikiproject that the article could use a discussion of AIDS's effects on women. Can anybody more familiar with the topic take a look and comment on what the article needs? [[User:Cloveapple|Cloveapple]] ([[User talk:Cloveapple|talk]]) 17:33, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
* [[African Union]]
* [[African slave trade]], merged into "Slavery in Africa" article, a subtopic of the redirect's title, which may cover much more than just slavery in Africa
* [[African National Congress]] Again a poor article for such a significant organisation
* [[Languages of Africa]]
* [[African diaspora]] A big, big group of people.
* [[Yellow Emperor]] Important Chinese mythological character. It should be as long as the article on [[Zeus]] for example
* [[Poverty in Africa]] - This article needs to condsider the structural causes and external causes of poverty in Africa. The continent is not an island. This would includes multilateral agreements, neo-liberal policies, unfair trade agreements (it does an excellent job at covering internal causes, but it read very biased since that is all it does. 
* [[Poverty reduction]]
* [[First Ivorian Civil War]] 
* [[Execution of Saddam Hussein]] -- <s>Lack of sources other than main US and UK news outlets such as CNN or BBC. US-sources dominate the article, and this reflects in the tone. Would need an array of both independent and international sources.</s> A number of non-US non-UK sources have been added as of May 2011
* [[Settler colonialism]] - <s>completely missing references</s> As of May 2011 it has some references and a bunch of unreferenced stuff got moved to the talk page. Still needs work. Some sections are just placeholders with no actual writing. [[User:Cloveapple|Cloveapple]] ([[User talk:Cloveapple|talk]]) 18:36, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
* [[Tripoli]] hmm... apparently Tripoli is one of those ancient cities that used to exist but its history stopped after 1911. Oh yeah, and it doesn't have any geography, culture, politics/government, economy, demographics, recreation, transportation, all that good stuff. Quite depressing. --[[User:Dmcdevit|Dmcdevit]] 18:58, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC) As of May 2011 some more recent stuff has been added but it's still C Class and needs work.
* [[First Congo War]] and [[Second Congo War]] Work needed on intros for both and First in particular could use some expansion. [[User:BanyanTree|BanyanTree]] 20:39, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)
*[[Rwandan genocide]] - The [[:fr:Génocide_au_Rwanda|French version]] spans several articles. 
** Páll has translated the French and created subpages and a navigation template, but the subpages could do with a copyedit, and content needs to be organized between the main and sub-pages. - [[User:BanyanTree|BanyanTree]] 21:33, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
**PS: also [[Initial events of the Rwandan Genocide]] per CSBOT template --[[User:Dmcdevit|Dmcdevit]] 00:45, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
* [[Ethio–Somali War]] – now redirects to "Ogaden War", could do with some work putting it into the context of both [[History of Somalia]] and [[History of Ethiopia]]
*[[Politics of Uganda]] - <strike>a lot of copy/pasted stuff. Not very good.</strike> Tidied up but still needs some more depth, especially given recent developments re. political pluralism in Uganda. [[User:TreveX|TreveX]]<sup>[[User talk:TreveX|talk]]</sup> 12:22, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
* [[Thomas Sankara]] A major African leader for many African people.
* [[Arsen Kotsoyev]], [[Ossetia|Ossetian]] writer and journalist, the article is a candidate for "Translation of the Week", but its English version needs to be reviewed by a native speaker of English. -- [[User:Slavik IVANOV|Slavik IVANOV]] 15:37, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**Done (but leaving it open in case I missed something) --[[User:Nimlot|Nimlot]] 20:58, May 31, 2005 (UTC)

:Seems to have been fixed adequately for a little while now. --[[User:Dpr|Dpr]] 06:22, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
*[[List of populated places in Afghanistan]] This article is '''HUGE'''! I put it up for deletion and no consensus has been reached so far making an automatic keep. Someone suggested that it be submitted to Systemic bias so it could be a kind of to do list. --[[User:Banana04131|Banana04131]] 19:47, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
*[[Alcoholism]] luckily only affects people in N. America. ''[[User:Rich Farmbrough|Rich ]] [[User talk:Rich Farmbrough| Farmbrough]]'' 15:59 7  March 2006 (UTC). I spoke to Rich Farmbrough and he said the bias was "mostly" edited away but that "It should still touch on the alcohol problems in post-communist Russia, and the treatment, self-help and diagnosis have a Western bent, but nothing like what it was 5 years ago." [[User:Cloveapple|Cloveapple]] ([[User talk:Cloveapple|talk]]) 06:59, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
*[[Korean War]] The editorial bias in this article needs be corrected. ([[User:Postdoc|Postdoc]] 04:48, 12 August 2007 (UTC)).
*[[Africa]] - there is an ongoing problem with an editor who wants to blank out all mention of the Ethiopian famine in 1984, in which almost a million Africans perished, for obviously political reasons because the facts are inconvenient and make Marxism–Leninism look bad.  This cannot be tolerated and the continuous edit warring needs to stop.  [[User:Til Eulenspiegel|Til Eulenspiegel]] ([[User talk:Til Eulenspiegel|talk]]) 12:46, 8 June 2008 (UTC) As of May 2011 the famine is mentioned.[[User:Cloveapple|Cloveapple]] ([[User talk:Cloveapple|talk]]) 16:40, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
* Groupuscule's [[User:Groupuscule/Third World Traveler|userspace list]] of articles formerly citing Third World Traveler, now in need of attention
* [[Donghak Peasant Revolution]] This article has been edited by a single South Korean user (myself), AWB, three non-AWB users, and bots since January 8 2013, with 267 of 290 edits being made by the single South Korean user. I would not have sent Jimbo something like [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Jimbo_Wales&diff=prev&oldid=534083497#A_barnstar_for_you.21 this] if somebody else than me was editing it.
*[[Lavdrim Muhaxheri]] The Lavdrim Muhaxheri biography article needs to be reviewed for NPOV, bias and libel, which has become an issue in recent versions.[[User:KewinRozz|KewinRozz]][[User:KewinRozz|KewinRozz]] ([[User talk:KewinRozz|talk]]) 11:23, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

===Satisfactory Developing World articles===

*[[Yoweri Museveni]] was a featured article.
*[[Second Congo War]] has been up for peer review and failed a FAC nomination, somewhat narrowly.
* [[Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla]] - not sure if Mexico is in the "developing world", but this man is an absolute legend in Mexico, and his article is embarrassingly short.
