[edit] Makuria
I, regrettably, have no background in Nubian history, but several months ago I began working in this area to try and fill in some of the huge gaps in Wikipedia's coverage of African history. I am quite pleased with this article and hope to get it up to FA standards in the near future. One problem is that it needs more images. I am pursuing a couple avenues to get some, but if anyone else has some images of sites or artifacts from this period they would be much appreciated. The article also likely needs some copyediting. - SimonP 13:23, July 29, 2005 (UTC)
- I added a few scraps of information that hadn't made their way from my notebooks to Wikipedia. About the only critical comment I have (besides endorsing your request for images here) is the rather unimportant question whether the History section ought to be near the beginning -- where it is now -- or should be after the extensive discussion about the culture, economy & religion of Makuria. (For all I know, this may be following established guidelines -- if so, can someone point me to the page with that information, so I can correct some articles I recently wrote?) -- llywrch 21:18, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks for your improvements. The order of sections approximately follows the standard set out at Wikipedia:WikiProject countries. Those guidelines only really apply to modern nations, and to my knowledge there is no official structure for ancient states. - SimonP 21:44, July 29, 2005 (UTC)
