: yes, please refrain from calling others "racists" either directly or through innuendo (e.g. saying a link is to a "racist" site). Alv, I've put the link back. You may want to make additions to the article *other* than links too. A common tactic by users who just want to stir the pot is to add links to the bottoms of several pages, without any content additions, so your actions may have been misconstrued --[[User:71.112.11.220|71.112.11.220]] 17:41, 16 October 2005 (UTC) |

Revision as of 17:41, 16 October 2005
It's all yours -- have at it
Things that would be nice to see
- more organization. I gave subject headers a shot, but the paragraphs were intertwined somewhat, making it difficult
- timeline indicating when artifacts were created illustrating black-or-not-blackness in relevance to various egyptian historical events (pyramids built)
- any evidence that egyptians were NOT black. this came from the afrocentrism page so it provides mostly evidence egyptians were black.
- discussion of importance--why are people arguing about this?
- discussion of difficulty in ascertaining race
- names for the different factions. afrocentrists is a much different characterization than just that believing egyptians were black (I'm somewhat in the latter, but wouldn't call myself an afrocentrist). the "other" camp doesn't have a name at this point.
POV fork?
Is this article a POV fork of Afrocentrism? Friday (talk) 19:55, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
- not sure what a POV fork is (whether that means this page is POV, or whether it was taken out to avoid too much POV-fighting on the afrocentrism page). About 60% of the afrocentrism page was devoted to this issue, it was causing too much trouble over there and we/I moved it over here. I expected it to be noisy over here but its been basically dead since then. --155.91.19.73 21:09, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
DNA sequence analysis
I've removed the info about DNA sequence analysis. It's uncited -- no scientists/journals named -- and based on content on the users page and the racist undertones seems to be trolling. It posits that Ancient Egyptians were black (usually an afrocentrist statement), but also that they were and "less evolved" and more ape-like than Caucasians (likely race-baiting).
