Among the strategies retained in the CBCA management plan is sacralization, a practice that consists of entrusting part of a mangrove or waterway (such as spawning grounds) to the supervision of Zangbeto deities, who are greatly feared in the region." "The consecration is made by religious leaders and the violation of the established laws leads to the payment of a fine in cash or in kind, and in case of recurrence, the sanctions can go as far as the expulsion from the village.

Article new enough (Jan 24), long enough (3500 B), well-sourced to academic sources, no copyvio (Earwig says 13.8%). Hook fact verified. BaduFerreira, the fact needs to be cited at the end of the sentence in the article, but I've done it myself this time. Hook is certainly interesting. I will suggest one tweak to the hook, which is to link to the word "vodún" to the article West African Vodún instead of the linking phrase "vodún spirits". — Vigilant Cosmic Penguin 🐧 (talk | contribs) 03:31, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for the review! I'd be fine with your suggestion for the hook. That being said, I'm unsure about the change that you've made to the article. My understanding of inline citations was that if a group of sentences all come from the same source, then the citation can be added to the last sentence to indicate that it is the source for that sentence along with all preceding sentences. Is that incorrect? To me, having the citation repeated twice seems a little unnecessary, but I could definitely be mistaken. BaduFerreira (talk) 06:23, 8 February 2025 (UTC)
- This is a specific rule for DYK: "The facts of the hook need to appear in the article with a citation no later than at the end of the sentences in which they appear." I know it's strange, but the DYK rules have that specific requirement; the article was otherwise fine. — Vigilant Cosmic Penguin 🐧 (talk | contribs) 02:14, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
- Interesting, I never caught that. Thank you so much for taking the time to clarify that. I really appreciate it! Happy editing!
