I've tagged the article for the African, French, and Russian task forces (since it relates to a Russian force in Africa, in a territory then under control of the French). I've also rated it against the B-class checklist, marking it down only on coverage - the article at this point is a great start, but there is additional information in the sources that would improve the depth of the article; for instance, the fantastic description in this Russian-language source of the French and Russian diplomacy before the French bombardment - and Achinov's refusal to honour any requests to leave except from the sultan (then away on a military expedition of his own; this is the paragraph beginning "Лишь через несколько дней стало окончательно ясно...").

This does not however diminish the article itself - again, it is a brilliant start to an article about an interesting event, and I look forward to seeing it mature to B-class and more. Please do not hesitate to contact me if there is anything more I can do. — Sasuke Sarutobi (talk) 13:09, 22 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
