Talk:Khama III

Chieftainship
It is not very clear in the article what are the three crucial decisions exactly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.201.159.192 (talk) 18:21, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Removed the phrase (as the eldest son of any African tribe customarily does), as this is no true for the Nguni groups where the son of the great house or senior wife enherits and he is usually the youngest son. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.33.235.59 (talk) 13:27, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

More Citations Needed & Essay-Like
Hello, I added these two issues to this page.

I had added the More Citations Needed issue due to large amounts of un-referenced text throughout the article. Particular sections of concern from my perspective include the un-referenced Ancestry and Youth section, the latter portion of the Baptism and Conflict section, the majority of the Cheftainship section, the latter portion of the Legacy section, and the un-referenced Current Descendants sections. If the texts from these sections does come from an existing citation, please add more in-text citations to the referenced sections.

I also added the Essay-Like issue due to the way the article is written. For example, the Ancestry and Youth section doesn't talk much about Khama specifically, and instead presents unreferenced, subjective, and possibly original, speculations regarding the rise of the Bamangwato tribe. Another example includes the discussion on the mephato. This portion is written in a subjective tone, and presents unsupported speculations as to what a mephato could represent in "today's world". Much of the language throughout the rest of the article, even when referenced, is also written in a subjective manner.

I will try to mitigate these issues to the best of my ability when possible, however, resolving these problems may require for someone more familiar with this topic and sources to re-write much of the article.
