Pronunciation best practices re "Biafra"
Hi, thanks for contributing! For pronunciation best practices, have a look at Manual of Style/Pronunciation. The reason I bring this up is because on Biafra, you added the pronunciation as

/biˈɑfɹə/

but there are a few things off:


 * Firstly, please use a pronunciation template, like IPAc-en, instead of a basic link.
 * is not a phoneme in the Wikipedia system (which is actually diaphonemic); you probably meant . Please read Help:IPA/English.
 * is conventionally written ⟨r⟩

Lastly, but most importantly, you didn't provide a source. The pronunciation that I've heard, and that I was able to find a source for, uses instead of. So what I ended up changing it to is:

Rendered as (note that ⟨ɹ⟩ is rendered as ⟨r⟩):

But of course, if you'd like to include a citation and re-add the pronunciation with, by all means. You can have a look at referencing for beginners.

If you think I made a mistake or have any questions or anything, you can reply to this message.
