[edit] Horn of Africa

Hi guys i need a third party opinon regarding the defenition of the Horn of Africa. I am curruntly involved in a disbute about defenition of this subject.The term Horn of africa originates from a geographical name refering to a peninsula in east africa comprising somalia and and a part of south eastern Ethiopia. If you look at the map of africa you could clearly see this peninsula shaped like a Horn. However this is ommited from the wiki page on the horn. when i tried to add this to the wiki page i came to a dispute with a couple of contributors. They can't get their heads round the Term Horn of africa as well as being the actual name of a peninsula that the name is also adopted and used with reference to socio political area known as the Horn of africa region. they think the the term only refers to the region.--Liban80 (talk) 00:02, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] BRFA for tagging of Angola-related articles

There's currently a bot request for approval for WikiProject tagging of the Angola-related articles in the categories listed at User:John Carter/Africa categories. Andrea105 (talk) 19:17, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Contradiction with Gorewang Kgamane

I came across Gorewang Kgamane during new page patrol. I have tried to fix the article up a bit, but it currently contradicts information found in List of rulers of Bangwato (bamaNgwato). Can someone more familiar with the subject take a look? Thanks. Singularity42 (talk) 17:39, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] African Philosophy

I'd like to bring this article to the attention of this wikiproject and ask if the members agree with this recent edit which essentially reset this article to a bare-bones stub. I'm definitely not an expert in the subject matter, but am concerned that such a drastic removal of content can be made without any attempt at preserving the useful bits. -- œ^™ 01:23, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Kama, Kamit

Here's a funny article. And by "funny" I mean "smells fishy, potentially OR or POV fork". --Trɔpʏliʊm • blah 16:08, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] African Traditional Religion

I have started to improve the article on "African Traditional Religion". I have concentrated so far on Section 1. I want to move this stuff to the Article Religion in Africa (see the talk page for my reasons, I would be glad to hear oppinions). S ince I am not a native Speaker, some copyediting might be necessary. Thanks. Glad to be here again after some time. Hope I can continue soon. Nannus (talk) 16:54, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Book-Class

Since several couple of Wikipedia-Books are Africa-related, could this project adopt the book-class? This would really help WikiProject Wikipedia-Books, as the WP Africa people can oversee books like Africa much better than we could as far as merging, deletion, content, and such are concerned. Eventually there probably will be a "Books for discussion" process, so that would be incorporated in the Article Alerts.

There's an article in last week's Signpost if you aren't familiar with Wikipedia-Books and classes in general. If you have any questions just ask. Thanks. Headbomb {^ταλκ_{κοντριβς} – WP Physics} 01:11, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion regarding possible inclusion of multiple non-English names

There is currently a discussion involving, so far, a limited number of editors regarding whether to include multiple names in non-English script in articles about locations in areas where more than one script is in use. Any individuals interested in commenting are encouraged to do so at Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#Inclusion of names in alternate scripts. Thank you for your attention.
