Talk:Zulu Kingdom
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The speedy deletion tag was wrong. I accidentally removed it when I added the infobox. A lot more info has been put since the tag was originally placed here. I'm assuming the tag was put cuz there was very little info in the article after the first save. Within an hour of the tag I had the whole article up so there is no need to delete this page.
On another note, there should definately be separate pages for the Zulu and the Zulu Empire, just as there are different pages for the Ashanti and the Ashanti Empire.

This article was incorrectly styled "empire" by me. A translation of the native name and analysis of the state confirm it as a "kingdom". Problem is, there is already a redirect of by the name of Zulu Kingdom. I request that Zulu Empire become the redirect and Zulu Kingdom become the main article. thank you for your time and keep up the good work. Scott Free (talk) 23:06, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Survey
- Support as English usage; the translation of the native name is not decisive. If English spoke of it as an Empire, the translation would be Empire, just as certain Chinese words are translated Empire and Emperor. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 04:33, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
- Support per nominator's reasoning. WHATaintNOcountryIeverHEARDofDOtheySPEAKenglishINwhat (talk) 05:39, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Good start on the article
Good start. Another good reference is JD Omer-Cooper's The Zulu Aftermath. Donald Morris is of course one of the leading guys in the area. Some areas that could be filled out:
- the Zululand area before Shaka's rise
- more on SHaka and his system- military and social
- effect of the Zulu on others- the Mfecane
just some thoughts. Hit me up email for any more project ideas.
