Talk:History of Namibia

message: This article needs serious expansion. Specifically, there is far too little information on Soviet and Cuban influence on the Independence movement (as I recall, the Soviet airforce actually bombed SADF positions in the late 80s). If I find a decent source I'll take the revision on myself, but would prefer that someone more knowledgable about Namibia (like, maybe a Namibian) do it. 67.86.141.225 00:13, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think you may be confusing Namibia with Angola, and South-West Africa Peoples Organisation (SWAPO) with the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA). Soviet and Cuban support was given to the MPLA when the SADF invaded Angola, and the Soviet airforce could well have bombed South African positions there (to force SADF withdrawal and kick-start Namibia's independence process).Phase4 11:41, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: History of...?

message: This section needs a rewright. Its been around since the second edit of this page (!) and is, if I may say it, a bit to full of technical advanced detail, not giving a good overview for the beginning. For instance, it referec to the Angolian civilwar without really explaining the connection. It needs to be shortened and more focus. I think the easiest way would be to just start again from the beginning.
I am myself no expert on Namibia, so some competent help would be needed here.

thread_title:  Struggle for independence section 

message: Some help would be appreciated on the Herero and Namaqua Genocide and Lothar von Trotha articles, as there's just two editors (myself and one other) active right now, and we're going nowhere fast! Even if you don't want to get involved actively, keeping a watch on the page would be appreciated. Greenman 20:14, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Help with Herero and Namaqua genocide, and Lothar von Trotha

message: The word "Afrikaner" is confusing. Does it refer to the Jonker Afrikaner Clan, or does it refer to the Afrikaner Tribe (Trek Boers ) from South Africa). The term "Whites" is also too general to be of value, as it can be confused with the German colonists who were also white. It must be referred too as Afrikaner-Boers, Dutch descendants, or British.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.219.126.34 (talk) 06:30, 25 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. The section seems to use the term Oorlams and Afrikaners interchangeably, when they are not the same. - Rooiratel (talk) 08:16, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: The Oorlams Section

message: I wonder if there is a misleading implication in the first sentence of this section that South Africa had already broken away from the British in 1915? ChikeJ (talk) 20:39, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: South African rule section

message: Seeing the serious flaws and omissions I suggest grading the article down from "B" to at least "C", maybe even "Start". Comments? --Pgallert (talk) 12:50, 15 January 2010 (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:
