Anyone knows how a colour photograph, and a very good quality one at that, ended up on this page with a date of 1943? Since I had no ways of finding the proper year and since the picture is interesting whatever its date, I just removed the obviously faulty year.
The information describing the picture is detailed and specific about it being 1943. Modern colour photography started in 1936. The design of the aircraft look like it could be 1943. Why do you think it has an "obviously faulty year"? Mark.murphy 18:54, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
What does this line mean?
In the event the majority of the newly recruited Ethiopian askaris went over to the Free Ethiopian forces and their British Commonwealth allies following the outbreak of war.

I think Ascari (Colonial Soldier) should be merged into this page. It's the same thing -- Awiseman 18:48, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
I started the article before finding out about Askari - probably best that we merge but include the reference to the Italian spelling
Added a few 'citations needed' notes after trying (unsucessfully) to verify the information. Am going to write up something new upon the topic of German Askari. Also, there is a HUGE mistake in the article. 'Askar' is the singular, 'Askari' is the plural. Am going to attempt to edit the whole article to reflect as such.

It should also be noted that Askari is also a colloquial term for night watchman. Throughout E Africa the only references made to an askari is in this way. Nuttycow 12:03, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

I did my investigating using Google Books / Google / Other Pages Citing The Reference In Question, in attempt to locate phrases referring to the Askari in the linked source.
Investigating the source on Google Books, and doing a Book Search for "Askari" did not locate this reference. Further googling for Askari details did not reproduce this reference. Investigating the Wikipedia History section, I located the citation added In This Revision, however the statement about back pay was added way back in This Revision without a source, and the original sentiment about back pay expressed by the exact same user.
As I've been instructed to do previously, I have added a tag to clarify that the citation is unverified, due to the lack of ability to verify it through direct means. 72.83.42.247 ( talk) 03:51, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
A big 'hmmmm...' for the first two lines of the paragraph on the British colonies. Local forces operating with or for Europeans were not automatically 'Askaris'. The word Askari, whether in British, German or Italian usage, itself implied a trained and disciplined soldier. He would have received at least a modicum of formal training, be dressed in recognisable uniform - albeit adopted to local climate and cultural norms - and would fight and manoeuvre in the European style. For bodies of troops serving under local chiefs, in local dress, with local weapons, and in a local manner, the word Levy was often used. The word, like the later word 'Commando', was used both for the individual and the grouping of which he was a member. The word warrior would seem more appropriate for the individual than the word soldier. (Discuss). The term Levies could, however, contain a wide spectrum of forces, from tribal forces, to units, certainly by WW2, close to being an unofficial colonial regiment, with everything short of an Establishment: a fixed membership, a fixed structure, uniform, reasonably modern firearms, pay, etc; certainly. The IBEAC administration was, by definition, not an administration of the British Empire, any more than Halliburton or Blackwater guards were regiments of the US Army in Iraq. When BEA became a Crown Colony, the already long-established tradition of organised local troops was set up by the colonial authorities. What seems to be described in the lines is he improvised guard-force for a Charter Company, not even a Levy as understood, for about seven years prior to the establishment of colonial government, and not a colonial regiment.

This content (together with the linked photo) looks totally unrelated to the other parts of the article, as this refers to russian soldiers in nazi service. It looks just like bringing in the subject because of some ww2 military lingo to me (at best). Shouldn't this go to the page about hiwis (nazi volunteers)? - 84.3.33.233 ( talk) 08:00, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
