I might be able to do this today JAGUAR  15:52, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

• "The city is the administrative and economic centre of Mauritania." how about The city also serves as the administrative and economic centre of Mauritania.
• "but droughts increasing desertification" - missing 'and' here? but droughts and increasing desertification
• "Nouakchott was a tiny, fortified fishing village (ksar) in pre-colonial times and under French rule" - link French West Africa
• "driven by the North African drought since the beginning of the 1970s; hundreds of thousands have moved here in search of a better life" - this is in present tense yet it's referring to the beginning of the 1970s?
• Move the image to the right in the geography section
• " It is threatened by the sand dunes advancing from its eastern side (salmon-coloured on image to left)" - I don't think there's any need for this
• Climate paragraph unsourced
• Ref 2 is missing an access date
• No dead links
• No DAB links
  • Good catches, done.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 17:08, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

@Sturmvogel 66: I got an edit conflict so I'm not sure if you've seen all of the comments above? Anyway it's looking good, I have spotchecked all of the sources along the way and everything is in order! Will place on hold (but I'll pass it if you've already addressed all of them) JAGUAR  17:15, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, I was pretty quick to respond to your first couple of points. I've dealt with the rest, so see if they work for you.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 18:49, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

Thanks! With all of those out of the way this should be good to go. JAGUAR  19:45, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
