Talk:Barthélemy Boganda

message: The following sentence needs to be written by someone with more knowledge of this nation's history than myself:
"The MESAN was founded as a genuinely democratic and nationalist party; however, it was later hijacked by Boganda's nephew, Jean-Bédel Bokassa, and converted into an instrument of repression during the existence of the "Central African Empire.""

message: The repeated use of the phrase "territorial autonomy" is a bit awkward. That phrase is typically used (see territorial autonomy) to refer to a political status in the abstract rather than to the status of a particular region (a la "the territory" or "the commonwealth"). I believe that "autonomous territory" might be a more idiomatic term and note that it is used in the Central African Republic article. Newyorkbrad (talk) 02:59, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm not entirely sure, but the lead may prove to be a little bit longer than is required. In case my suspicion is right, I suggest dropping the tidbits about where he studied and how many children he had  (the former is mentioned in the body of text; the latter is usually mentioned in the lead only when the children are themselves notable, and could be easily moved in the text somewhere in or after the paragraph about his marriage).

replies: text: I have removed the bit about where he studied and the # of children. I have now mentioned his wife's name. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not love) 00:23, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

message: The References and External links are doubled.  Is there a reason for this?  Since this is today's featured article I figure there must be but I can't fathom why. ThemFromSpace 17:52, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I boldy removed it.  Hope it didn't create a problem. ThemFromSpace 17:57, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it was duplicated by mistake at some point, or that somebody experimented. Good job spoting it & being bold! Dahn (talk) 18:55, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Boganda leads toward this page but it should not as it is also the name of a sous-préfecture. --Grullab (talk) 17:01, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  error 

message: Although the article is in much better shape than many FAs of its era, I think there are issues with comprehensiveness/well-researched requirements in the FA criteria. A quick search on Google Scholar revealed that there are several academic papers as well as a 1995 full length biography not cited at all. Currently, the article relies too much on tertiary sources IMO. (t · c) buidhe 01:46, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
