• Article was indeed created on the date submitted. Prose meets the length requirement - only just. Article is neutral, presenting simply the facts. Every information is sourced, through references to books (specific references are provided, including page numbers). This includes the information in the hook : book (offline) source accepted in good faith. The article may not attract many readers, but it contributes to the scholarly nature of this encyclopedia and helps in the somewhat Sisyphus-like efforts against systemic bias; mid-1970s Ethiopian politics don't receive all that much coverage. The one significant flaw in the article is that it doesn't mention what ultimately happened to this publication, which it presents as defunct; I'll contact the author about it. (Also, I've taken the liberty of editing the hook to insert an internal link on the revolution.) Aridd (talk) 18:06, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
