Done this is supported by plenty of RS. Also, according to these sources,[1][2] the 13 national languages are either official or set to become so. This will become clear in the next few days. M.Bitton (talk) 12:12, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
- This official source confirms that the 13 national languages are now official languages (see Article 31). M.Bitton (talk) 15:49, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
- The 13 national languages (now official) listed in this official source are (in alphabetical order): Bambara, Bobo, Bozo, Dogon, Fula, Hassaniya, Kassonke, Maninke, Minyanka, Senufo, Songhay languages, Soninke, Tamasheq. __M.Bitton (talk) 16:53, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
- Definitely going to need a source saying that these blogs are more official than the constitution Wkpdsrnm2023 (talk) 07:58, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
- Official government websites are not blogs. M.Bitton (talk) 09:35, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
Formation
editThe Mali empire was formed in 1226 and lasted until 1670. This should be included in the formation of Mali. 2A02:C7C:6621:7400:D4C:DA0F:A7B1:2E95 (talk) 11:28, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
Your Peer
editHello hello, this is your classmate after peer editing your page! I am glad to read your article and I believe that you have done a great job. Your text has a very sensitive sense to the things that are happening to Mali women and you do a very good job in compiling them and presenting them in good logic and order. You cover a lot of aspects, which helps the readers to quickly get a gist of as many things as possible.
I would just recommend that you don't entirely focus on the negative sides of Mali women. Your text is somehow sad and negative. One other point is that maybe consider putting the health section into some other section? I believe that one can be classified into others more fluently.
Just remember that all kinds of people will have access to this article. Probably it is a bit inappropriate to present this page to an actual Malian woman? HRSun04 (talk) 02:49, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
Area
editI am seeing 1,240,192 sq km at CIA Factbook.[3] The same figure is given by BBC (which is cited).[4] But instead, we have the figure 1,241,238. Mellk (talk) 03:56, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
- Britannica seems to use the 1,241,238 figure.[5] But this is probably less reliable. Mellk (talk) 04:31, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
