Ishe Komborera Africa

 * ... that African CITES delegates sang the former Zimbabwe anthem, "Ishe Komborera Africa" after winning a vote to export endangered African elephant ivory, while conservationists wept?


 * Reviewed: Great Turnstile
 * Comment: I am open to removing "former Zimbabwe anthem" if the reviewer feels it would make the hook flow better.

5x expanded by The C of E (talk). Self-nominated at 14:52, 22 July 2016 (UTC).


 * Symbol confirmed.svg A typically good nom and article from CofE. Everything (hook interest, citability, length, expansion, copyvio) checks out. GTG. (per ANI, a second review is needed) LavaBaron (talk) 08:55, 23 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Symbol possible vote.svg 5x prose expansion confirmed for 22 July and article of a good length. The article is generally well cited, including to offline/subscription sources that I am happy to AGF on (including the hook citation).  I just have a couple of queries on some of the citations I could access: this source doesn't seem to support the information preceding the reference?  Also is this website a reliable source? - It may well be so for its particular specialism?  I just haven't come across it before and would be interested in knowing more.  Hook is interesting and within criteria, I would probably link CITES though, as I don't think the abbreviation is that well known.  No close paraphrasing noticed from available sources.  Thanks  this is a nice looking article and I will be happy to support once I know a little more about the two citation queries - Dumelow (talk) 15:29, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
 * The national anthems source was a holdover from the original version before expansion. I thought that the longevity and looking into it that it is written by people interviewed by the BBC et al about anthems that it would met the threshold. However I have replaced it to make it easier. As for the Xenophobia source, I had believed it was implied but have added a new source that confirms it.  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 07:24, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Nice one . I would have been happy to leave the anthems ref in with your explanation, but either way.  All good to go - Dumelow (talk) 17:41, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
