[edit] (Untitled Comment Thread 1)

Both the French and the Dutch versions link to empty pages. Is this an instance of them linking to the wrong page, or should these references be removed. I doubt that there is a specific translation of Safari into one of these languages. --snoyes 06:58 Feb 21, 2003 (UTC)

[edit] (Untitled Comment Thread 2)

I was thinking of adding:

However, this seems to be a bit commercial. Is this acceptable or not? I wanted to know what it was, and WikiPedia didn't have it, but I don't want WP to become a collection of advertisements for commercial products. In this case, it seems more informative than commercial, and the nature of the service (online access to information) seems in tune with WP itself. --Mike Van Emmerik 05:43, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Land Rover Safari

I can't find a mention of this in Land Rover or any of the model articles. Does it exist? Is it a variation of a particular model? —Michael Z. 2005-11-26 17:26 Z

  • I'm a car analphabet, but found it must exist as I got nearly 700 entries with a Google search for "Land Rover Safari" model, including classifieds with build years. I suggest you investigate and put your findings to good use on the appropriate page(s).

[edit] What does Safari mean

The word safari is from the swahili word meaning journey.

[edit] Map

What is the relevance of an 1890 map of Africa? I suggest that it be removed, unless its relevance to the article is explained. Kemet 16:49, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

A map of 1890 Africa was place in the article because that is when Westerners going to Africa took up the word "safari". The map, when clicked through, shows the geopolitics when safaris where all the rage in the West. The map also saves this article from being misunderstood by Wikipedians (and by extrapolation readers) whose first thought about "safari" is actually a secondary or tertiary usage. If you look at the article history, you will see the acute need to set the context. --Charles Gaudette 08:53, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
