I will be changing the dating system on this article away from the biased, Christian based AD/BC to the common era system next week. If you object, please state why you are ok with the biased system here. Eupnevma (talk) 19:05, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
As for not a western topic, that's not how wikipedia divides things up. Imagine the fights that would happen if we went down religious lines for styles? As for scholarly work, wikipedia isn't just for scholars but regular people too. And as far as I know in everyday life, BC and AD are still more common.

It seems like this section is just summarizing the results of a single academic's work (published in two papers). In addition, the opening of the section calls out this academic by name and seems to function as an advertisement of his work more than an objective summary of the field. Is this section really appropriate? If so, should it be condensed? 130.132.173.122 (talk) 14:09, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
Is it worth expanding this section a bit to summarise the main article Medieval and early modern Africa?
At the moment I do think this section is very bare and I don't think its content is logical or broad enough, I find the paragraph on the Xhosa, whilst excluding all other ethnic groups, very strange Alexanderkowal (talk) 18:22, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
I can't figure out what Wawat is as there wasn't an Upper Egyptian/Nubian state at this time as far as I can tell. Alexanderkowal (talk) 11:13, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
