[edit] Mr. Allstar

Mr. Allstar can you explain why my editing is not helpful? All the editing I have done I have backed it up with data and facts. The people who have been editing has not backed up their data with facts and reason sir and you have kept their information in the article sir. Their information is plain incorrect. I have heard stories of the machination that goes on in wikipedia please convince me otherwise. Omniposcent (talk) 09:48, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

As can be seen here, you removed content that should not have been removed. You removed the pictures as well as the text leaving nothing but one word in the section you edited. - ✰ALLST☆R✰ echo 09:53, 30 May 2008 (UTC)


Well Sir let me explain. I have done this already. It is in the discussion page sir, that is the rule of Wikipedia. Those who have added those items have not explain themselves and the facts are wrong and it is original research. Everything I delete I explain.

deleted this map:

In terms of religion, North Africa is strongly dominated by Islam (shown in green), while Sub-Saharan Africa, with the exception of the Horn of Africa, is mostly Christian (shown in red; besides traditional or tribal religions)
In terms of religion, North Africa is strongly dominated by Islam (shown in green), while Sub-Saharan Africa, with the exception of the Horn of Africa, is mostly Christian (shown in red; besides traditional or tribal religions)

Reason:

The article is about sub-saharan Africa, this map would be more appropriate under the article Africa or world distribution of Islam and Christianity. The information in the caption is also wrong. The horn of Africa is predominately Christian and predominantly Orthodox, very rare in Africa and a testament to her early adoption of Christianity. Plus the Sahel region in West Africa is predominantly muslim. The Sahel is the exception to the Christian rule in sub-saharan Africa, not the Horn of Africa.

deleted this map:

Sub-Saharan Africa (green), located south of the Sahel zone (orange).
Sub-Saharan Africa (green), located south of the Sahel zone (orange).

Reason:

It contrasts with North Africa, which is Egyptian and Berber. The Sahel is the transitional zone between the Sahara proper and Sub-Saharan Africa.

North Africa contrast within itself. Your statement on the Sahel is original research that it is not part of Sub-saharan Africa. Sub-saharan africa has already been define. If you are going to change the definition, Wikipedia's rule says you must discuss your changes and explain.Omniposcent (talk) 20:22, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Linguistically, Sub-Saharan Africa is dominated by the Niger-Congo phylum (distribution shown in yellow), with pockets of Khoi-San in Southern Africa, Nilo-Saharan in Central and East Africa, and Afro-Asiatic in the Horn of Africa

Sub-Saharan Africa is a geographical term used to describe the area of the African continent which lies south of the Sahara, or those African countries which are fully or partially located south of the Sahara.

Reason:

am removing this map. The article is about sub-saharan Africa. It should reflect the language of only Sub-saharan Africa. The article is not about language families of Africa. That is the appropriate context of this map.

Deleted this:

The Horn of Africa and Southern Sudan are technically part of Sub-Saharan Africa, but nevertheless show strong Middle Eastern (Islamic) influence.[citation needed]

Reaon:

The Horn of Africa and Southern Sudan are not "technically" part of Sub-saharan Africa. The Horn of Africa and Southern Sudan are part of Sub-saharan Africa, and what you mean is Northern Sudan not Southern Sudan. The Sahel, the Swahili states show strong Middle East and Islamic influence too. You are trying to say it really is not Sub-saharan. That is poving. Europe technically was civilize by the Middle East. The spread of Christianity is what brought her civilization via the Roman Empire, outside her boundaries. Stop the pathology in trying to restrict the Black African. It is an ingrain Western tradition. Omniposcent (talk) 20:22, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

I apologize, that was an honest edit error. Omniposcent (talk) 19:10, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
