Need to connect with a revised and corrected version of the stub currently (mis)named Macina (swamp). --A12n 17:35, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Done. Tom Radulovich 17:18, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I will look into adding a series of pages on the subregions of the inland delta, of which Macina (variously also Massina, Masina, Mâssina and in the Fulfulde of the region, Maasina) is one. The new article on the Macina subregion (more or less the west of the inland delta), as well as this article, can mention how the term is variably applied. Kunaari (east & northeast of present day Mopti), Jenneeri (area around Djenné including the Pondo(ori) plain, Femaye (between Jenneeri and the Bani River up to around Sofara, and Nyansanaari (south of Jenneeri, more or less close to the Bani), are other ones I remember offhand. Amadou Hampate Ba, in his history of the Massina Empire, details those.--A12n 03:11, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
