Irrelevant references

In the middle paragraph of the Effect on the economy of Africa section, there are many references that do not pertain to the text.

Examples: "Exchange‐Traded Funds (ETFs) and Commodity Markets". Commodity Strategies: High‐Profit Techniques for Investors and Traders. 2 January 2012. pp. 129–152. doi:10.1002/9781119198611.ch7. ISBN 9780470126318. "Application Technology – Making the Most of Money Spent on Pesticides". 1 February 2020. doi:10.1094/grow-cot-02-20-235. S2CID 240822292. "Inflation rate: food, percentage change over same period previous year". Main Economic Indicators. 2020 (6). 11 June 2020. doi:10.1787/6b269bae-en. ISSN 2219-5009. S2CID 240928666 "Trade 2004". doi:10.1787/568532110800.

Some of the DOI links go to spreadsheets that are likely not the best source of information for this topic. The inflation rate and trade references could container relevant information, but they're from the 2000s, not from the period of history being discussed.

If I knew a bit more about this topic, I would remove these references as spam/troll. 198.232.211.130 (talk) 16:49, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree and have flagged the article for having multiple citation problems. The editing history shows that @Dbaidoo added an incredible amount of references in August 2020. Zoocat56 (talk) 19:14, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There may be some irrelevant citations, or on occasion "better" ones (depending on one or another editor's own foregone biases), but care should be taken not to eliminate under this excuse the great majority of excellent citations supporting the article. It is a disagreeable topic, since the truth is often disagreeable at least to some readers. And it is on a very topical and political subject. In such an subject, the more citations, the better.175.39.122.144 (talk) 00:30, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Chattel slavery?

Where is the evidence that "chattel slavery" existed in the Nile Valley, or any slavery at all? This doesn't sound right. Jonathan f1 (talk) 14:12, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
