Talk:History of Malawi

message: There is very little on the British Central African Protectorate, but an article of that name has five paras which would be relevant here and could perhaps be moved. Apart from the independence movement and the Federation there is very little on Nyasaland here or anwhere else and that could be moved here, and some detail ought to be added.There were redirects for Nyasaland and Nyasaland Protectorate which went to the Malawi page but I have edited them to here, History of Malawi.Rexparry sydney 02:56, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted.
Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.
This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link.
If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.
If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page.
If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.
Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The section on the Ayao is very interesting but lacks any detailed references. It seems to be more like a personal essay and definitely isn't written from a neutral point of view. Much is said about the wearing of long robes and kofias and other marks of civilisation, whereas no word of criticism is given of the appalling human rights abuse carried out by the Yao slavers and of tens of thousands of slaves marched in appalling conditions to the coast every year by the Jumbe of Nkhotakota. Something should be said on both sides, I think, good and bad. Although it is a point well made that that the history of Islam has been more or less ignored in accounts of Malawi up to now, yet this essay is clearly written from a pro-Muslim point of view. 
Moreover not only this section but the whole article lacks references. Only three footnotes are given, two of which are to newspaper articles, and only one to a serious academic work. In a serious historical article each statement should be referenced with source and page number. An example is the article Cabinet Crisis of 1964 in Malawi, which has 87 references and a bibliography of 15 well-researched academic works. Here, although the topic is much larger, only three books are mentioned in the bibliography and two more in the text (none of them with dates or publishers); surely there are far more to be found on the history of Malawi than that.
