Picture of Shuwa Arab woman for the Baggara Wikipedia Article
Hello how are you doing? I hope your having a great day. The photo you provided is of the Baggara Arab tribe yes indeed but it is not an accurate representation of the Baggara or how they dress and would be unfair and inappropriate to cite thag photo which was taken by a European traveler who had no idea of the culture, dress, and lifestyle of the Baggara and claim this is how their women dress like. I removed the photo because it does not accurately represent the Baggara Arab dress and culture. Cookiemonster1618 (talk) 16:39, 10 July 2023 (UTC)


 * hey. maybe they did dress like that in Bornu as Denham, the traveller, made the drawing while he was in Bornu and from the Shuwa women he met. BlueSahelian (talk) 16:50, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes but this is not an accurate representation of how the Baggara Arab women dress if you want you can bring a modern photo of the Baggara women dress, but this photo only represents a specific section of the Baggara Arab society in Chad, and is not a representative dress of the Baggara as a whole. Cookiemonster1618 (talk) 16:54, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
 * But the people depicted there are Shuwa (Baggara) wearing clothing unique to the Shuwa (of Bornu).
 * "specific section of the Baggara Arab society in Chad, and is not a representative dress of the Baggara as a whole"
 * That is why I put "Shuwa Arab women in Bornu (1826)" very clear that these are Shuwa Arab women of Bornu in 1826. I am sure modern Shuwa people of Nigeria and Chad would like to know how their people dressed centuries ago. BlueSahelian (talk) 17:04, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Try Flickr they have many amazing photos of the Baggara in Chad. Cookiemonster1618 (talk) 16:57, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi BlueSahelian! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Regarding Adamawa Central senatorial district
Hello, BlueSahelian. I came across your article and wanted to let you know about MOS:COLOR. Basically, it is part of the Manual of Style with COLOR focusing on the accessibility of articles using colors. The reason I brought this up is due to the use of the party colors making it hard to read the text and the links in the Party column. If you can adjust the color to something that MOS:COLORS recommends, then that would be preferred. Alternatively, it might be better to edit the cell to split is and have the color be beside the text, like in this first table. Hope this helps, Super Goku V (talk) 09:24, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
