Comments

The intro doesn’t have much info about the IMF or its relationship with Côte d’Ivoire. Instead, there is more emphasis on the country itself and the changed in economic stability. I believe brief information about the relationships between the two, as in amount f votes and money in the IMF would improve this. There are no embedded links to other articles nor are the citations cited correctly. Most of the information doesn’t have any citations, which is alarming considering there is a lot of info provided. The sections however are organized very smoothly and precede one another, making the actual reading f the article very clear and informational. In terms of balance, this article could improve from adding more information about current relations and not so much about the economic hurdles of the country. This information is provided in the history of the country itself. There is no bias in the article, all are facts that simply serve to fulfill the purpose of the assignment. In terms of design, your article could benefit from the addition of maybe a couple pictures (ex Cacao) and more citations and links. One aspect I liked about your article and will be using for my own is the history of the country pre-IMF, highlighting the reason why the IMF was necessary.

Background

I believe the background section should be more developed. It only provides information going back to 2000rather than going back to when Cote d'Ivoire joined the IMF.

Specificity of the Zone Franc and Distance from the IMF until the 1980’s

This section lacks referencing. There are no sources cited which makes the data given hardly convincing.

The 1980’s Structural Changes and Effects on Social Stability in Côte d'Ivoire

This section runs in the same problem as the former. There are no sources cited.

Broader effects of lending and conditionality of the IMF programs

The sources on this section are good but not properly referenced. Indeed, the references given do not follow wikipedia's guidelines.

Current Economic Situation and Relation with the IMF

This section also lacks references. Nonetheless, the points made are very relevant and the section is well structured and easy to follow.

Peer Review: Zoé Ricci/Côte d'Ivoire and the International Monetary Fund

Background: In the background section try to remain more neutral, explaining the specific events, not as a narrator. Also try to break up the longer sentences into condensed sentences with the same good information.Muffin110 (talk) 01:38, 6 December 2019 (UTC) 1980s": The beginning portion of this section is a bit wordy, I think you could say the same great information while adjusting the structure to be more concise. I love the ending, very succinct and neutral. My only recommendation here is that you use the farmer riots as its own sentence because I think it sounds more clear that way.Muffin110 (talk) 01:38, 6 December 2019 (UTC) Broader Effects: Beautiful section. Maybe add the word children after "15,000"? This was great though. Do you have the metrics on the severity of the Brain Drain? Might be good to give exact numbers.Muffin110 (talk) 01:38, 6 December 2019 (UTC) Current Economy: Maybe outline some of the structural and economic reforms that took place briefly or even just by category. Likewise, how are the individual goals going to be realized in the future? Another really great section that was informative and concise.Muffin110 (talk) 01:38, 6 December 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Muffin110 (talk • contribs)
