[edit] Move main part to History of Malawi?

Should the first section be moved to the Malawi history page, leaving this article to be called 'postage stamps of BCA'?Rexparry sydney 02:46, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

In general my preference has been to have these articlea be in-depth on colonial days, and leave "History of X" to be mostly post-formation-of-X, with pre-X sections as more of a synopsis connecting to articles on native kingdoms or colonies or whatever. Being wiki rather than paper means that "History of X" doesn't have to be a giant monolithic narrative. If monolithy was good, why wouldn't one move the stamp info into it, too? :-) Stan 03:11, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
