- Comment: Announced for my old article sandbox back in mid-December 2010, but never acted upon till the time I transitioned to my brand-new AFC queue. By the way, here's hoping WP can extend its coverage on African-produced animation in the years ahead. Stay tuned as I prepare for another DYK submission in a couple of days. Take care!

- ALT1: "... that in 1989, the then-First Lady of the Ivory Coast created an animated kids show?" BugGhost 🦗👻 14:59, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

I assume good faith on non-English sources, and those I could not access. I personally prefer Alt1.
