A fact from White Aethiopians appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 20 October 2011 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Pliny the Elder's "White Aethiopians" may have been members of the Fulani (pictured)?

AngloP - would you please provide a quote from one of the sources which justifies the title of this article? --Snowded ^TALK 05:51, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Garamantes

I've deleted "According to Pliny, the Leucaethiopes ("White Aethiopians") dwelled south of the Gaetuli and Libyans, and therefore may have been a term applied to the Garamantes.". First, it wasn't in the source. Secondly, the Garamantes are described as dark skinned, swarthy, etc. in various classical sources. Dougweller (talk) 13:25, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Negroid?

I don't mean to be PC (in fact, I hate poltical correctness), but doesn't the term negroid (regardless of actual meaning) seem a bit archaic and arcane in this day and age? How often do people use Mongoloid or Caucoid? Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie | Say Shalom! 02:34, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Who is Richatd Smith?

This article is full of references to one "Richard Smith", for whom there are no independent references. All links to his quotes are dead.

I will therefore delete all things in the article based on Richard Smith.
