Regarding your edit to Necromancy
Please do not sign your contributions to articles, only sign your contributions to talk pages (after your comments on the talk page). Please do not copy and paste from other sources, Wikipedia prefers summarizing sources since this helps avoid copyright infringement. Please make sure that your edits flow well with the rest of the article. Also, at no point did the article try to connect "niger" with black people. "Niger" is the Latin word for the color "black." It was not associated with people of African descent until Latin had been a dead language for almost a millenia. Many languages besides English still use variations of the word to identify the color black. Ian.thomson (talk) 13:57, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
