Talk:Amar Godomat

Removed Original research and editors opinion
''This describes the voyages of Alvise Cadamosto - the 15th century explorer in modern day Senegal. In here, he describes the Serers living in the Cayor border and how they would use spears and poisoned arrows to inflict the maximum effect on their enemies. Note: Alvise has actually never step foot in Serer country. Most of his opinions about the Serers come from his Wolof interpreters who already where constantly fearful of the Serer on their border as narrated by Alvise and therefore could be bias. In here, Alvise refer to these Serers as without Kings. However, these Serers were the ones living in the border and refused to bow to the Kings of Cayor. Since Alvise himself had never step foot in Serer Country, the he didn't know that the Kingdom of Sine was actually a Serer Kingdom where the "Barbasini" - (a corruption of Wolof "Bur Ba Sine" meaning "King of Sine") took residence.'' What does this have to do with the topic and why is the opinions of an editor helping us to see their POV. Deleted per OR and Wikipedia WP:SYNTH taking two facts and linking them to draw a conclusion.--Halqh حَلَقَة הלכהሐላቃህ (talk) 08:13, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Abu Bakr And Moor conquest
A minor concern just remember this article is about Amar Godomat and not the death of Abu Bakr. So while it is good to include information I think the info should be seriously hedged. The various traditions on the death of Abu Bakr are in his own article. on a related note I was actually going to add that most scholars consider the Moorish destruction of Ancient Ghana an old wives' tale, it never happened.--Inayity (talk) 08:04, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

Name
I've been asked to make "Ama Gôdô Maat" but I can find no reliable sources that do that. The fr.wiki article uses that spelling but again without sources, and other google.fr pages that use the spelling seem to have picked it up from the Wikipedia article. The French equivalents of Google books and Google scholar also turn up nothing. Dougweller (talk) 21:25, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
