if someone knows how to turn that into a self-tracking piece for the article, or otherwise wikify it into usability...Darker Dreams 16:33, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

I came here because I was looking for a place where to put the data on the salaries of the military in the RDCongo, yet I found no chapter on the Military in the article on the RDCongo. However, I was under the assumption that one of them was to be able to protect it's population and that this was mostly done by organising a military pillar in a country.  I was looking for an article to support this latter assumption, to support creating an article on the military in the RDCongo portal, yet I keep jumping from one article to another without finding anything on the topic.  Can anybody help drilling to an article? And support creating more interlinks. Thank you.--SvenAERTS (talk) 10:08, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

I am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria. Some of my concerns are outlined below:

There is uncited prose in the article, including entire paragraphs.
The lead does not summarise all major aspects of the article, most specifically the subject's history.
Heritage Foundation is used as a source, which is considered unreliable. This should be replaced by a reliable source.
Is anyone interested in addressing the above concerns, or should this go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 02:57, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

removed cruft that has accumulated
I don't think the lead really misses any major aspects (it was created, negotiations failed, it has been dormant since). Could be a few sentences longer probably, but still.
The Heritage Foundation is just cited as a proposal to revive the organization made by a highly notable think-tan, it's perfectly permissible in this context imo.
I just had a quick look and it doesn't seem that the committee is any less dormant than it was in 2018.

@Eddie891: Thanks for improving the article: I think the article meets the GA criteria now. For the lead, I think it can include information on how MSC was formed and its activities during its existence. As a non-expert, the lead felt like it included lots of information on its structure but not very much on what it actually did or how its actions influenced history, which the article does cover in the Histoy section.
