Talk:Koigi wa Wamwere

message: I don't have correct date at hand but the 1995 date here is definitely wrong.  His detention and trial were ongoing in the second half of 1994.  (The sentencing was late 1995 or early 1996.)  It may also be worth noting that he was facing the death penalty for these charges (which were facially absurd).
"He returned to Kenya in 1995,[1] but was detained again with artificially charged with robbery with violence.[4] He was sentenced for four years in prison and six lashes by cane."

Talk:Koji Ito

message: Currently the article says he:
 became only the second athlete of non-West African descent to clock a legal and recognizable (+1.9 wind; not at high altitude) time of 10.00 seconds, during a semi-final heat.
By the normal definition of West African, Frank Fredericks is of non-West African descent. This would make Koji the third such.
Ordinary Person (talk) 04:14, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: To the above, "West African" is simply on how you define the area.  Namibia was formerly called South West Africa.  Yes it is significantly further south of the other countries one generally regards as West Africa, the equatorial region as defined by the U.N.  And even to that, the majority of the folks you are associating to that heritage, are ones who whose ancestors were only generally removed from the region as slaves, hundreds of years ago.  But to draw an ethnic distinction based on a minor geographic difference, vs an ocean away and to say that means anything is a far reach. Trackinfo (talk) 16:07, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Tom in "The Stone Troll" 

message: We have something of a problem with the "followed by" parameter in the template:infobox book box.  The documentation for the template says that this should be the next book (presumably in the narrative sense of the story) in the series of the current work.  In the narrative of Middle-earth, arguably TAoTB comes last, although a case could be made for some of the stories in The History of Middle-earth Volumn XII.  In the followed by parameter various editors have listed The Father Christmas Letters, The Road Goes Ever On, and Tree and Leaf (the next book actually published by Tolkien).  My guess is that in the sense of the template none of these is correct, and that we should just leave it blank.  More generally, we need to come to a common agreement as to what order the M-e books should be linked in these parameters. -- Elphion (talk) 19:53, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
