Ethiopian famine
A grim topic, but I believe this is a comprehensive & informative list. Whether it becomes a FL or not, I would appreciate any feedback on this piece. -- llywrch 18:14, 18 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment I'm inclined to support upon thorough copyedit and bringing the sources up to some standard formatting (I recommend using this online tool for that) Can't you get the ISBN numbers for the books? That'd certainly come handy. And a relevant image/photograph too. Great work. -- Run e Welsh | &tau;&alpha;&lambda;&kappa; 01:22, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the input. Unfortunately, neither book has ISB numbers to the best of my knowledge -- both were written before they were widely issued. (Pankhurst's later book, having been published by a staff for whom English is a 2nd langauge, has a number of entertaining idiosyncracies that I should share someday, although probably not on Wikipedia.) I'm not clear just how pictures of people starving to death would lend to the usefulness of this list/article -- please elaborate. -- llywrch 03:50, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * A map? A picture of food aid convoys? No need to editorialize, of course. -- Run e Welsh | &tau;&alpha;&lambda;&kappa; 06:49, 19 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Yap, you need sources. Also longer intro and more descriptions would not harm, but a nice list. Good candidate for support. Renata 08:40, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
