Talk:Bamenda

[edit] Disambiguation
The reference to Ring Road is redirected to Beltway. How can this be avoided. In Cameroon, the term Ring Road referes specifically to the Bamenda Ring Road. There should be a page in between were one can choose between the two meanings of the term. How can such a page be created? Or can the link be modified in a way so that from here it is redirected to an article "Bamenda Ring Road"? Nannus 23:08, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
- What you're referring to is a disambiguation page. I'll go ahead and create one to distinguish between the Cameroon ring road and beltway. — BrianSmithson 02:34, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for showing me how to do this! I've joined Wikipedia just a few days ago so there is still a lot of stuff I got to learn.Nannus 19:54, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Nso
Should not the Nso be named in this article? See Phyllis Kaberry too, please? --Dia^ (talk) 21:28, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

- Kaberry moved back to London, and eventually received a request from the Colonial Social Science Research Council to do research in the Bamenda region of Cameroon. The Council questioned the low development and malnutrition in this colonized region and requested Kaberry’s anthropological services. Funded by the British government, Kaberry travelled to Bamenda, living among the Nso’ (from Phyllis Kaberry article.) Would be interesting to know if and how the existence of this people in the area was/is. Apparently the fact that were studied by this anthropologist has several consequences in other studies. --Dia^ (talk) 22:35, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
- "Bamenda region" is pretty vague, though. Any anthropologist working in the Northwest Province could be stationed in Bamenda. It seems (at least from this article) that Bamenda is hisorically a center of the Mankon people. According to Ethnologue, the Nso seem to be situated northeast of Bamenda proper. — Dulcem (talk) 00:07, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Good point, Bamenda is too vague. --DavidD4scnrt (talk) 05:33, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
