GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose, spelling, grammar, and understandability): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable, as shown by a source spot-check.

   a (reference section): b (inline citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have non-free use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

• Infobox and tusk image are two images; pictures taken of art and craft work, properly licensed. BarntToust 17:57, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
• Copyvio good on that. Twenty percent detected via earwig, which is the hamburg source, and I see a lot of it is basically just the term "Kingdom of Benin". BarntToust 18:00, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
• It's a bona fide brand new article, having a comprehensive re-write on 24 June. No major edits of concern before nor after this landmark edit. Stability is good. BarntToust 20:12, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
• Sources consist of scholarly publications and the like. I spot-checked 1a, 3b, 6, 10b, 15c and 15e, 21, 25b and 25d, 30b, 34c, 41a, 45, 48, and 51. All good with those. BarntToust 20:12, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
• Any grammar concerns I saw were minor and I just fixed up said areas myself. BarntToust 20:28, 28 June 2026 (UTC)

A great article, a good read, an interesting historical subject. Congratulations on this one, Vanderwaaal! BarntToust 20:28, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
