thread_title: Question

message: This article contains uncited references and comments bordering on ridiculous. eg. "They lost on the battlefield but won the war" and uncited eyewitness accounts under the heading "brutality" along with tales of women and children being beaten without citation.
I would personally nominate all this for deletion if there is no source offered.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.25.224.2 (talk) 11:09, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi.  I'm new to this topic having seen a suggestion on WikiProject Africa to attend to the Asante article i.t.o referencing.  The most academic treatment of the War that I could find is "The Golden stool : studies of the Asante center and periphery. Anthropological papers of the American Musuem of Natural History ; v. 65, pt. 1.  It's a large file at http://hdl.handle.net/2246/248.  As for the "lost on the battlefield" comment, I think, from the point of view of the Asante, despite being militarily defeated and notionally subjected to British rule, they had achieved their pre-war objective of shielding the Stool from the British under Hodgson. See also Voyages in World History, Volume 2, by Valerie Hansen, Kenneth Curtis, Wadsworth, Boston.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by BlandBaroque (talk • contribs) 12:20, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

text: Forgot to add the page number to the Hansen and Curtis text.  It's pg 768 and the authors suggest that although lost, the war taught later British administrators to treat African leadership and legal traditions with greater respect.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by BlandBaroque (talk • contribs) 12:24, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Neutrality 

message: Seeing how the Golden Stool apparently lost its power when the laborers took the golden items off of it, I changed the infobox to read sanctity of the Golden Stool "remained" intact, since it was theoretically intact during the conflict but later lost it. 71.14.188.98 (talk) 21:47, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
