==History sections==
I expanded the sections on the history of Africa’s economy, only to find out afterwards that there is an existing [[Economic history of Africa]] article (although it could well be expanded). I’ve decided that I should chop the pre-2000 history sections from this article to keep it focused on current economic conditions, and will move and merge the content with the Econ Hist of Africa article. Any objections? [[User:OttawaAC|OttawaAC]] ([[User talk:OttawaAC|talk]]) 01:26, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

== Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page ==
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted.
Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.
This, however, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s spam, or not a good link.
If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the [[MediaWiki talk:Spam-whitelist|request page for whitelisting]].
If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the [[MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist|blacklist request page]].
If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the [[meta:Talk:Spam Blacklist|request page on meta]].
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.
Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Great, great maps. ✏ Sverdrup 18:54, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Okay, I perhaps should also add some constructive critique: 🙂
- First, the fact box; should we not express the numbers in words (I propose 831,2 millions and 539 thousand million US Dollars for the first two). Also, the statistic “Female economic activity” could use more explanation. Do we have an article we can link this to, so that we know how this is defined?
- There are large sections named “Causes”, “Effects” and “Attempted solutions”; these should perhaps we renamed, it is not immediately clear what they refer to (certainly not what has caused africa to have an economy!)
- Overall, the article should perhaps not (deliberately vaugely stated) take the stance that Africa is a land in need of help, solutions, new politics, but rather state the facts.
Last, this is a huge topic that is hard to overview and even harder to present in full, with all the different aspects and different regions and situations. You’ve done a great work to begin to fill Wikipedia’s emtpy holes. ✏ Sverdrup 19:12, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Thanks for the comments I agree with most of them and have implemented some of the easy fixes.
- I do not know much about the “Female economic activity” number. It is a statistic the UN has for every country but I couldn’t get much of an explanation for what they consider “economic…
