Talk:History of Mauritius

message: I'm confused as to why the BARK of ebony trees would have any appreciable value. Ebony bark is consistently mentioned on the page, where one would assume that the wood itself is the intended subject:
:Those who landed on the island freely cut and took with them the precious bark of the Ebony trees, then found in profusion all over the island.
:His successor was Adriaan van der Stel who began the development in earnest, developing the export of Ebony bark.
:Clearing of large swaths of forests for Ebony bark exploitation
An Internet search revealed no particular references to any value ascribed to the bark of ebony trees. Remarkable, one of the top hits was the History of Mauritius page!
I propose these instances be changed, simply striking the "bark (of)". Additionally, ebony should appear without capitalization.

message: While the dodo bird is quite pretty it is completely irrelevant to the history of Mauritius. What about some actual images of Mauritius instead of some silly bird?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.91.66.161 (talk) 22:41, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: If you want to add some, go ahead, but do not remove the dodo pic.  Reliable sources include it as relevant to the history of Mauritius, so no offense, but we have to take their word over yours. Til Eulenspiegel /talk/ 00:05, 28 April 2013 (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.

message: introduction
The strong strategic position of isle de france convinced the british government that to succeed in india ,it was crucial to take over the island.
The French who enjoyed the monopoly of using isle de france as a naval base had challenged the british supremacy in india.Thus to prevent the French from attacking them in india and to be able to create their empire.it was important to take over isle de france.
  
French corsairs were attacking british ships in indian ocean.trading goods were stolen on their way to india and this caused losses to britishand also impoverished the british trade.
:::Right. Then the English banned slavery and started an embargo off the ivory Coast trying to interfere with the Atlantic slave trade, but that's another article Elinruby (talk) 09:56, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
