A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on May 13, 2004, August 23, 2004, and May 13, 2005.

Text and/or other creative content from African slave trade was copied or moved into Slavery with this edit on 10:03, 6 May 2009. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

10s of Millions press-ganged and conscripted into slavery and death

Is being press-ganged or conscripted into the military against your will, often to die thousands of miles from your family, considered slavery? Should there be a link to the 'Impressment' and 'Conscription' Wikipedia pages? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.30.55.165 (talk) 16:01, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There's already a link to Involuntary servitude in the "See also" section. It's not the same as slavery though, since slaves didn't get paid. Bataaf van Oranje (Prinsgezinde) (talk) 08:51, 27 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV

Slavery is depicted as bad throughout the article. As an author you have to be above the zeitgeist, even if the topic is considered morally questionable. Morality is always subjective. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.47.74.232 (talk) 14:19, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Slavery in classical antiquity

the page is locked, otherwise I'd do it myself.

Can someone add the Slavery in antiquity article as a "main article" heading under the Slavery#Classical antiquity section. Thanks --Tomatoswoop (talk) 01:03, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Slavery is 'Slavs'

This is an extremely questionable and controversial theory to be removed. The fact is that it was invented by "scientists"-racists 17-18 from Germany and France. Unfortunately this misconception is so common still in the West, even in Oxford refer to it. In reality, the Slavs have absolutely nothing to do with slavery. Unfortunately, I cannot change this text now.
