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)
