Talk:Chad/Archive 2

BC or AD (in History)
This sentence seems to be wrong: "By the end of the 1st millennium BC, a series of states and empires rose and fell in Chad's Sahelian strip," I think it should read AD, because that’s what it says in the main body of the article, doesn’t it? Also the German version seems to confirm this. (They have a paragraph "The era of large states, 900-1900 AD.) Anyone knowledgeable can confirm this?--Geke (talk) 20:57, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

WP:URFA/2020
I am reviewing this (old or very old) FA as part of WP:URFA/2020, an effort to determine whether old featured articles still meet the featured article criteria. This 2007 FA has not been maintained. are you able to update this article so that a Featured article review can be avoided? Unless a top-to-bottom update, with citation cleanup, is undertaken, this article should be submitted to WP:FAR. Sandy Georgia (Talk)  00:46, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
 * There are unanswered queries on talk.
 * There is MOS:SANDWICH and breaches of MOS:ACCIM in the image layout.
 * There are incomplete citations, sample, "Enquête Démographique et de Santé 1996–1997" (PDF).
 * Access dates are missing on many citations.
 * It appears the article has not been updated for at least a decade, with dated information throughout. For example, there is refugee data as of 2007, economic data as of 2006, and so on throughout.

Religion in Chad
@Groznia My bad, the survey isn't even 8 years old and from 2015 but rather 26 years old being from the period 1996-1997, according to the title in the citation. That is decades old, and thus heavily outdated. A projection from a reliable source would be more relevant and accurate in that case.

If you still believe a comprehensive source would be better, I recommend using the latest 2009 census data, which is also used for the ethnicity section of the country infobox. Unionsa1 (talk) 05:29, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

Sorry, my bad too. I didn't realize the cited source was based on 1996-97 estimate, though as far as I remember those estimates as valid and are based on 2015 DHS community survey. That citation must have been lost during the subsequent edits and needs some digging up to be found. Regarding the use of 2009 census data, I am not sure about that since it's too old and a lot could change during that time period. However, as a middle ground I recommend using 2020 Pew estimate.

 * No worries, any reliable 2020 estimate (including the one by the Pew Research Center) would work. I believe Chad will be releasing the results of its 2021 census data relatively soon, and that can be used to eventually replace the projections in the country infobox.
