Why do I see a box containing the word 'booty' at the top of this article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.195.199.233 (talk) 16:01, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delisted GA

[edit]

This article did not go through the current GA nomination process. Looking at the article as is, it fails on criteria 2b of the GA quality standards. Although references are provided, the citation of sources is essential for verifiability. Most Good Articles use inline citations. I would recommend that this be fixed, to reexamine the article against the GA quality standards, and to submit the article through the nomination process. --RelHistBuff 13:06, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Silk Road

[edit]

The Silk Road ran from China and Japan to the Middle East and beyond, to Africa. This idea needs documentation. --McTrixie 23:17, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, but in the Silk Road article, not here - the Silk Road routes did not cross the Sahara. Warofdreams talk 01:35, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. I am not yet well-read in how Silk Road and Trans-Saharan trade connected in present-day Middle East.--McTrixie 19:41, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

PreIslamic Trade

[edit]

Greetings. There was preIslamic trade. The Sahara, as many authors describe, was not as dry as it is now. This was one of the main omissions in this article. I have begun to repair that defect, increasing attributed statements according to wikipedia policy. Gallador 17:59, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

West vs Subsaharan Africa

[edit]

The Forty Days Road runs from al-Fashir, the old capital of Darfur, which is part of modern-day Sudan. I can think of no definition that would place it in West Africa. - BanyanTree 23:00, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the information - I hadn't spotted that, and wasn't aware of that route. While the definition used by the West African National Secretariat would have put Sudan in West Africa, they also claimed that Kenya was in West Africa, so that's not much use. I've reverted myself and changed the article back to your version fuck dis bullshit ass stuff. Warofdreams talk 12:25, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Maps?

[edit]

New account, but I signed up to note that this page lacks any maps that would really help to clarify where the trade was really taking place. The pictures of various landmarks are helpful, but as an article on trade routes it seems that a diagram or something would be more appropriate. TVTMaster (talk) 02:39, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

sahara blue dudes

[edit]

does the sahara blue men travel in groups? 

the answer is yes they never split up they believe if they don't stick together great harm will come to their family for generations an generations to come'

the reason they believe this is because back in the early 1500's their ancestors used to split up for help with their tribe but an extreme heat wave came an killed them all —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.52.232.194 (talk) 15:45, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Maps

[edit]

We now have a map for the Middle Ages, but a lot of the places in "Early Trans-Saharan trade" are not mapped and it would be very helpful to make a separate map for that time period. The section "Introduction of the camel" probably also need to be mapped, whether on the same map or separately. "Decline of trans-Saharan trade" probably needs a separate map. -- Beland (talk) 18:06, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why is there nothing about the TransSaharan slave trade here??

[edit]

How are the people supposed to get together if they're not taught that they all went through the same things at each other's hands at different times?? How are you supposed to soften psychopaths if they don't know that they've never been subject to you/the other before?? 2601:1C2:600:4D10:3427:3892:C3EB:B89F (talk) 00:26, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
