 * ... that between 1800 and 1890, some 25,000 to 50,000 slaves were captured in present-day Tanzania, Mozambique, and Malawi and forced to work on plantations in Somalia?


 * I don't know, it's hard to tell that the blurb is about Slavery in Somalia and not just slavery. Perhaps it would be best to rephrase it so we're not piping the article name to anything odd? Disavian (talk) 00:17, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I never considered it that important for people to be able to tell what specific article the hook is about. I figured that if they cared they could just click on the link or hover their cursor over it. Anyway, how about: ... that between 1800 and 1890, some 25,000 to 50,000 slaves were captured in present-day Tanzania, Mozambique, and Malawi and forced to work on plantations in Somalia?--Carabinieri (talk) 14:35, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg That seems like a good hook. The article looks great, by the way :) Disavian (talk) 15:16, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree that the article is really interesting, though I can't take credit for that, since Runehelmet was the one who wrote it. Thanks for your review.--Carabinieri (talk) 18:51, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
