This article is wrong. There was never an Ashanti Protectorate. See: Ashanti (Crown Colony). Apologies I do not know how to move this article.
A Crown Colony was established over Ashanti. No Protectorate was ever established over Ashanti. This article requires deletion for that reason. The previous note at the top of the article called for improvements to the article. That is not what is required. What is required is its deletion. I contacted an experienced WP user about the topic. He referred to the procedures involved in causing an article to be deleted. They were too complicated for me to follow or would involve more time than I can dedicate to deleting a bogus, entirely unreferenced article that was likely created in 2 minutes. If there is a better caption for the wording in red that I added at the top of the article, I would welcome its addition. If anyone wishes to take issue with my amendment to the content of the article, please provide a source for a Protectorate having been established over Ashanti. If you cannot find one, I encourage you to help with this tidy up deletion, whic really should be much easier than it is. WP has grown far too complicated and the project suffers as a result.

Are you seriously suggesting there is a proper source for a Protectorate having been established?Yes, I referred to one.
When was this Protectorate established?After the Second Ashanti Expedition. That source puts it in 1897, while some others I saw have put it in August 1896.
Under what law?Good question. I'm not much of a researcher and don't have access to a good library, unfortunately. Why don't you help?
The position as regards the Crown Colony is well set out on the Ashanti (Crown Colony) article.Yes, that article specifies the Crown Colony was established in 1902, after the uprising in 1900. What was the status of the region between 1896 and 1902? Every source I've managed to find online seems to agree that the British were setting up some sort of government and planning to be there for the long term, although most stop short of specifying what "category" of conquered territory it was considered.

Territory outside Her Majesty’s dominions, and not forming part of a Protectorate either. As I’ve said already. Is the burden of establishing it was not a Protectorate on me? Surely, it should be the other way around here? One shouldn’t be put to having to prove a negative. Frenchmalawi ( talk) 09:37, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
