Talk:Lamu

message: Also: About the inf. on the page that Lamu was a center for the slave trade: how accurate is that?? Zanzibar was, sure, but Lamu? According to Romero and others the slave trade there, I believe, was mostly for "domestic consumption", i.e. the main exports from Lamu was other goods (e.g. ivory, and later: mangrove poles.)

replies: text: I completely disagree (and not only because I started the template). This is the main place in the archipelago: I would assume it to be the starting point of "exploring" the island-articles on wikipedia. (as it is "in real life" (yeah: I have been there).)  If the article looks to bloated, then I would suggest  that we remove some pictures. I would not mind seeing the template change, though:  a footer nav template  might be better. I havent worked on these articles for years; but trust me: they were a complete mess before I started. That template was rather essential, in getting people to understand the difference between Lamu, Lamu Island, and Lamu Archipelago. People mixed them up all the time, so you saw the  UNESCO box on Lamu Island instead of Lamu, etc. Cheers, Huldra (talk) 22:02, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

text: Hah! Check who is the major contributor on most of the articles in Lamu  archipelago..... (though I have hardly edited them for years, they were my first "major" project). And just in the little editing I have done here this evening have made me miss the template on Lamu. Re-adding it as a footer template is fine with me.

text: Nope, caught a plane  to Nairobi (or, as we called it: Nairobbery), then out to Lamu. Spend about two months there, goofing around the islands.....ah. I have friends who go there most winters, alas, it has become quite dangerous now. I had an absolute dream weak up at Kiwayu; one mile beach, all for yourself.....now I could never go back: too close to Somalia: they have kidnapped  Mzungus  from the area. Sigh. Oh: and the template looks fine: I prefer default open. Cheers, Huldra (talk) 23:31, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: About the Lamu fort: note what I write on Talk:Fumo_Madi_ibn_Abi_Bakr. Presently there are not any good pictures of the real Lamu fort on wp, I might have some to upload, though (I was there in the late 90s.)  Cheers, Huldra (talk) 23:33, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
