Quite a bit of interesting information on Sapo can be found in William Powers' Blue Clay People. It is about his time during the inter-war period in Liberia with Catholic Relief Services. Someone with the book should try to add to the article concerning this slice of information. In case you were wondering, it is a unique tale and a worthy read.-- Thomas.macmillan ( talk) 22:14, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
I noticed this article on the good article nominations page. It is a very good article and I was going to review it. However I felt that it needed some information about the park's geography so I added a geography section instead of reviewing it. I hope the new section is OK! Bláthnaid 15:09, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
This review is transcluded from Talk:Sapo National Park/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.
I applaud for writing a decent article on Africa and trying to combat systemic bias.
I am putting this article on hold primarily for one reason: the sections about the park (biodiversity and geography) do not seem to do justice. They are about what makes this land piece worthy to be a park, and I think it should be expanded before this article passes GA. Geography section especially needs expansion. There is a mountain and a river, what's in between? any geological monuments? geological history? is that temperature year-round? how much rain does it get? effect of the seasons to animal and plant life? is there migration? if yes, where to? Biodiversity section lacks any kind of mention of plants. Surely there must be something worthy growing there.
Couple other minor things / optional requests:

Congrats! I passed it. Thank you for you hard work and putting up with my demands. Please create more articles on Africa :) Renata ( talk) 10:26, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
Some notes I may not have time to add. As the article is about a park founded for its native species and plant endemics, these species deserved some discussion in the article, rather than just a passing mention. This is a suggestion for expansion rather than a criticism of the article's current state which is just fine.
The Rufous Fishing-owl is an owl species that is somewhat known for preferring virgin rain forests with large rivers for fishing, making its decimation in West Africa almost predestined. This species is known to be present in Sapo National Park and should be included in the article.
Also, let's get some help with an article about Alexander Louis Peal, the Liberian conservationist. I started it.
We need an article on the Sinoe River, also.
Other suggestions?

I just want to comment on this line in the article: "Due to its remote location and the near-complete absence of tangible amenities, such as visitor housing or recreational facilities, there are few visitors to Sapo National Park."
I just watched a travel video on youtube that showed the existence of facilities, including huts with electricity and showers in the middle of the jungle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dy9E7M3RRoI
So it is not as bleak as the article makes it out as. 84.210.20.34 ( talk) 16:37, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
