Sotho

Hi Tebello,

I've noticed that there is a disagreement about which name to use in the Sesotho/Sotho article. Maybe you could weigh in at Talk:Sesotho_language. — mark 10:25, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

You seem to be determined to keep it at Sesotho language, but to my mind, the reasons you are giving in that discussion and the earlier one aren't convincing. Thing is, WP:MOS simply prescribes that we should use the most common term in English on this English edition of Misplaced Pages. Let's turn it around: I don't suppose you are saying that the Sesotho articles st:Senyesemane and st:Se-jeremane should be in fact called Se-English and Se-Deutsch... or are you?
Also, I don't buy the culture-pessimistic argument that 'English speaking people generally have absolutely no interest in eg isiZulu'. Apart from being a straw man (one wonders who bothered to create the article in the first place), it's simply not true. I've written quite some articles here on African languages, and people have repeatedly contacted me to let me know they appreciate Misplaced Pages's growing coverage of this field. — mark 14:03, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Ngoni people

Hi,

I sorta watch some of the African articles (tho I know nothing about Africa). I'll remember your name for future reference if I need someone to look at something that's fishy. :-)

Ngoni people

Lather, rinse, repeat. :-) More stuff that is... well maybe POV and certainly not WP:V. I know you said that you don't like WP:V (or at least, that's how I understood your comments — please forgive if I am mistaken), but IMO it is protection against propaganda.

thanks! --Ling.Nut 18:13, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
