 * Symbol question.svg Article length, date and sources check out. The hook, however, is not very accurate. The hook makes it sound as if Cemenco has a legal monopoly over cement sales in Liberia (i.e. no other company is allowed to sell cement), while the source doesn't support that conclusion at all. In fact, it says that it's the only company, but that there are attempts by other companies to compete (even if yet to materialize). I think some tweaking might be in order. Other than that, this should be good to go. Yazan (talk) 16:32, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Since it's currently the only company in the business, by definition it holds a monopoly; you can hold a monopoly without governmental involvement. Nyttend (talk) 21:02, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote4.png Well, I'm personally not convinced that the two are the same. Nevertheless, another reviewer may feel differently. Yazan (talk) 06:42, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Just please read the introduction to monopoly — "a monopoly exists when a specific person or enterprise is the only supplier of a particular commodity", for example. Nyttend (talk) 13:51, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Very well, according to that definition, I'm not gonna object to the hook. Symbol confirmed.svg Yazan (talk) 14:31, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
