... that during Ogiso ("king") Ehenneden's reign, cowries were increasingly used as currency in Igodomigodo’s markets?

This article, promoted to GA on 28 Feb, is long enough, new enough, and presentable. No copyvio. However, some sentences in the lede aren't reflected or cited in the article body. Can you add to the body and cite a stable kingdom shaped by previous economic and political reforms, He reorganised the Royal Council, and which later faced instability that contributed to the decline of the Ogiso monarchy?

Tenpop421 I'm not sure what this means, did you read the "Governance" and "Death" sections and did not find these there? The lead is an accurate summary of the current body of the article, I'm not sure this would have passed GA if something like this exists.Vanderwaalforces (talk) 15:55, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Vanderwaalforces: a DYK review is always a chance for a second pass through at these things. At the end of the article, I see leading to the rise of the Ohuede dynasty and then it ends there, nothing about the decline of the Ogiso monarchy. The Royal Council is mentioned once in the article, and this in the lede, I assume the Edionnisen were a Royal Council but this is not explained or glossed in the body. His father, Uwa, is said to have presided over the kingdom when it had developed extensive trade routes, but there is nothing about the reforms that he had initiated in the article.

Thanks Vanderwaalforces, that looks good to me. Article well-sourced. QPQ done. Hook short enough, interesting, with an offline source accepted in good faith. Good to go. Tenpop421 (talk) 19:26, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
