Mining in Ethiopia[edit]
- ... that although Ethiopia is rich in mineral and quarry resources (Microcline pictured), the mining sector has only contributed about 1% towards the country's GDP with an investment of 14 billion birr?
New from Redirect, by Rosiestep (talk), Nvvchar (talk). Nominated by Nvvchar (talk) at 18:54, 4 August 2013 (UTC).
- The article dates to 31 July and was nominated within 5 days. It is 7805 bytes (source), nearly all of proper content, so the length should be great. It is well sourced, sounds neutral, and doesn't seem closely paraphrased (the biggest source is a book that is offline, but I'd bet money there's no problem). Not a BLP.
- The hook sources directly to [1] and is confirmed. It is interesting and cited inline and not closely paraphrased. I counted 198 characters, but I don't really want it shortened. It would be convenient to see dollars instead of birr, but ... everyone has their own preference, so I can't ask for that!
- The lovely photo from a reliable source (Mindat) states it is microcline and from Ethiopia (confirming that bit of the hook). It is good even at 100px, used in the article, and free.

accept as is. Wnt (talk) 21:06, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
