FA from 2005, with 1c issues throughout. Significant amount of unsourced and uncited content in the article, whole paragraphs, subsections, etc. Lots of small subsections, very short paragraphs, and one-sentence-long-paragraphs. Two images used, File:Gbe languages.png and File:Doctrina Christiana - Y explicacion de sus Misterios en nuestro idiom Español, y en lengua Arda (first page).png, could use an image review. The article could use some layout improvements, and overall copyediting for flow and ease of readability. -- Cirt (talk) 16:06, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment regarding criterion three issues:
- File:Doctrina Christiana - Y explicacion de sus Misterios en nuestro idiom Español, y en lengua Arda (first page).png - if this is from a work published in 1929, why is a PMA license being used? In what country was it published and was it done so in compliance with US formalities?
- Per MOS:CAPTION, periods should not be used with nominal groups. Эlcobbola talk 16:41, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Unencyclopedic tone: "It should be noted that none of the Gbe languages has all of the above sixteen vowel qualities. In general, each Gbe lect makes use of a subset of twelve vowels, seven oral and five nasalised. The vowels i ĩ u ũ e o ɛ̃ ɔ ɔ̃ a ã are attested in all Gbe languages." The lack of sourcing is so obvious I don't think I need to do a paragraph by paragraph detail here.

- Comment: note these issues:
- I've have checked the section Geography and demography and there no citations. This falls into section 1c. JJ98 (talk) 06:20, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
