I would really like to move this to Sultan of Sokoto and make Sokoto Caliph the redirect. In the first 15 years of my life, spent in an around Sokoto, I never heard the phrase "Sokoto Caliph"—and my parents were both history teachers.—iFaqeer (Talk to me!) 20:46, Dec 7, 2004 (UTC)
- If no one has any objection, I would like to go ahead and make this move now.

>> I fully back this remark. I am now for more than half a year in direct contact with one of the sons of the Sultan of Sokoto. I did hear from his son and others the term Sultan and sometimes Emir/Amir, but never Caliph. - 27 April 2006
Why don't you read the article? I've already made a move so Sokoto caliph IS a redirect since January and put the phrase (which occurs frequently in sources that can indeed be doubted) in parenthesis. What more do you want ? Fastifex 07:32, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sada Abubakar
I've added Sada Abubakar as the new 20th sultan as according to the BBC website [1] he was elected to this office. Someone more knowledgeable however may want to write his biography/entry... -- fdewaele, 2 November 2006, 13:02
[edit] Not a current event
I think this is just a normal article, it isnt a current event, i think the current event tag is for things changing minute by minute, like when Arafat was ill, or Sadaam Hussain etc.--Halaqah 07:32, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
