  • Length, creation fine. Is long enough. " The Tuareg groups were also said to have once been closely affiliated and controlled by the Département du Renseignement et de la Sécurité, Algeria's intelligence agency, but then chartered a more independent course." should be cited or removed. Plagiarism spotchecks and referencing fine. I'd say interest was OK, not exceptional. I think the hook could be shortened by " the civil war in Libya " becoming " the 2011 Libyan civil war" as I don't think a Libya link is necessary (also added an optional, but I think preferable, comma):

Mostly good but that unsourced sentence and your views on the ALT warranted. Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 15:27, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

Okey will remove the contentious part since no source has come. Would also add "mostly" before "for" and after "fighters" as not all came from there.Lihaas (talk) 02:51, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
I suggest "...fighters (mostly for the defeated government)..." Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 20:45, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
cool, mark ready?Lihaas (talk) 04:28, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
The problem : ok a lot of MNLA's fighters were employed by Kadhafi... but a lot of fighters of the Malian army as well were trained with Kadhafi troops! Why would Wikipedia emphazes on the MNLA and not the Malian troops returning from Libya ? Otherwise it's fine. --BabyFoot (talk) 10:01, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
