Sega's origins in Mauritius
Can we be sure of this? Why not Reunion island.. as mauritians should know Reunion is older than Mauritius in terms of continual habitation. Reunion was founded in the mid 17th century Mauritius left by Dutch until 1710 when the French came (excluding the Afro-Dutch mulattoes found in the forest at time of French arrival who were probably killed or enslaved). The first ships to Mauritius came from Reunion island with slaves. Anyone else can tell me anything about Sega's origin with evidence to show its origins?Domsta333 11:53, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes that's right, it was originally from Réunion, with Mauritius developing its own kind not long after. I will search around for sources to base this on. However, the Seychelles were the last to develope this style of music, and I am therefore changing the current article --Maurice45 (talk) 17:37, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

The page hasn't been changed. According to French version of the page, Sega is a musical genre from Mauritius, Reunion, The Seychelles, Rodrigues and others islands of Indian Ocean. I will make the change. Nialie (talk) 13:21, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

Sega Video Game References
Someone thinks they're clever. Well done on keeping the vandalism up, though....60.242.37.155 15:25, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Not Sega Genesis?
I am not trying to fool around or anything, but this should be a disambiguation. I thought at first this was referring to 16-Bit music. I was confused and disappointed when I saw this article. Just a suggestion I know no one is going to consider. O well. Someone was going to say something about this sooner or later anyway. --76.220.110.115 18:45, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Segastronics
Of course there won't be references on the net! Seeing as Mauritius is an enclosed society, with barely any of its artists gaining international recognition, how will a failed version of its music, more than 30 years old, be found online? Segastronics did exist, and, after a small amount of popularity, became extinct. No one performs it anymore, few have kept records and tapes (no CDs; no longer on sale either), fewer still listen to it and most, if not all, of the original singers have retired from the industry. But that DOES NOT MEAN that it didn't exist --Maurice45 (talk) 14:46, 17 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes there are plenty of sources, but, unfortunately, they are all in Mauritius (where I no longer live) so I am not able to provide any --Maurice45 (talk) 17:50, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Richard Jacques
All this annoying Richard Jacques nonsense seems to stem from a group of IP addresses from a certain area. Is there no way of limiting these people's involvement in this article? If I knew how I'd do it myself --Maurice45 (talk) 19:48, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Getting rid of plagued section
I'm getting rid of the notable sega musicians section. I'm linking the page to the list of mauritian musicians, list of seychellois and list of réunionnais. that way we won't have to constantly revert Richard Jacques --Maurice45 (talk) 11:36, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Removal of instruments
A significant amount of instruments were added to the ”Instruments” section without any references by two IPs in 2020 and 2021 respectively. In an effort to clean up the page as a whole, I have removed them. If any of the instruments I removed do indeed have reliable sources, please do let me know below this and I will readily re-add any with reliable sources. — Mugtheboss (talk) 13:32, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
