* Kirunga might be Birunga Mountains or Virunga Mountains.
* Basso Norok is probably just another name for Lake Rudolf (now Lake Turkana, at least in Kenya).

message: Many of the lake names have changed somewhat since 1911.  Here's a list of the 1911 Brittanica name and the more common modern name:
* Abai - Abaya
* Albert Nyanza - Albert
* Albert Edward - Edward
* Leopold II - Mai-Ndombe
* Tsana - Tana or T'ana
Lake Rudolf and Lake Nyasa are more-usually known as Lake Turkana and Lake Malawi, respectively, but the older names still seem to be in use.

message: In the WikiProject Wikipedia:Nuttall_Encyclopedia_topics, we hit on the city "Yokuba", 
:Yokuba is the largest town in Sokoto, in the Lower Soudan, with a large trade in cotton, tobacco, and indigo.
Sokoto is in the WP, but there is no town called Yokuba near it. The source is from 1907, and Google doesn't help much. Thanks--J heisenberg 10:33, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

message: what is it? call me blind, but i don't see it. further, a google search for the phrase shows the sentence in the article reproduced in lots of phrases but no explanation of what it is. 
i think the phrase needs to be explained further? is it that the coastline in africa is not as wiggly as those in other continents?  -- Doldrums 07:56, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

message: It says on the Africa article that Cape Blanc in Tunisia is the northernmost point. So why does it say somewhere in Morocco holds that distinction here? --68.249.187.0 10:31, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Northernmost point? 

message: There's an inconsistency in the statement: "Cape Verde, 17°33′22″ W, the westernmost point". Either the link should be to Cap-Vert, Senegal, the westernmost point of the continent, or the coordinates and distance should be updated to reflect the position of the Cape Verde Islands. More detail is provided in the section on Extreme Points, but this first paragraph should be revised to be internally consistent. -IGTaylor (talk) 18:46, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

message: Does anybody know what the 1911 text is talking about when it refers to structural lines?  Does that paragraph serve any purpose?  I want to delete it, but I want to understand it first :)

* The coastal plains
* The Atlas range
This accounts for maybe 5% of the total landmass. Did someone start making a list and then just run out of energy? · rodii · 21:06, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
