Talk:Nigeria/Archive 2

message: I've made a minor change to this section, as not all of the officers involved were Igbo (one of the "five majors" Ademoyega was Yoruba. I am considering more in depth alterations as some bits are misleading. For example Ironsi had nothing to do with the coup in 1966 and in fact, he actually put paid to the ambitions of the officers involved. There's more, but I'll work on a version with references and then submit it. Sorry, forgot to sign initially Sez who 03:05, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I made the changes myself in the end. I kicked out the banana reference - too weird to be able to substantiate.  freedom</small>Annawright 17:11, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

message: I removed this from the article but thought it might be a valid point...
"Nigeria was never known as Dahimeia. I think whoever provided this piece of information is refering to Dahomey, the old name for the republic of Benin, also a country in West Africa."

message: The problem of scarce Africa material on Wikipedia isn't in doubt – it's the solution that can't be forced, not overnight. The US gets far more coverage because there are zillions of Americans adding (often junk) to Wikipedia. Nigeria has few contributors, with less internet access, and needs all the writers it can get.  So if you don't like what's here, please, ADD SOME YOURSELF! 
Also look at Wikipedia:Africa-related regional notice board for more areas to contribute. One day Wikipedia will far outstrip other reference sources on Africa, because it's written by Africans :-) JackyR 17:05, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Demographics 

message: I think the general outline plan of country articles in Wikipedia is not intuitive and not well organized. I think the basic outline could be much improved by using this outline, in summary: keep history first, make objective sections next (geography, population); political-economic sections next; and, cultural etc. sections last. What do you think of this new outline scheme?  I'm trying it out here first, among all countries, for comment. Feel free to revert if you think this is not helpful or needs some discussion.

message: I'm taking this article off of my watchlist, as I don't like the atmosphere resulting from the harassment and personal attacks by  and , most probably one and the same user. I do hope that other admins will take this up, but I for one am not going to devote more of my valuable time to it. — mark ✎ 13:32, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
