[edit] 1887 character inspired by 20th-century personage?
"'She' is a novel by H. Rider Haggard, first serialized in The Graphic from October 1886 to January 1887. ... This character [Ayesha] was supposedly inspired by the Balobedu Rain Queen Mokope Modjadji."
-- from Mokope Modjadji:
"Mokope Modjadji V was the fifth Rain Queen of the Balobedu Tribe in the Limpopo Province of South Africa from 1981 until her death in 2001."
There's obviously something seriously wrong here. One supposes that either
A) One of the previous Rain Queens was meant (Masalanabo Modjadji? Reigned 1854-1895)
B) The comparison was added to the article as a joke.
Can anybody straighten this out? -- 27 december 2005
- I think you must be right in that a previous Rain Queen was meant. Thank you for detecting the error! Zora 20:43, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] “the present”
Since this article might be reproduced as some future time when She is no longer in print, it is perfectly appropriate to parenthetically date “the present”. —Gamahucheur 11:44, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
