Actually, as this article is now, it should probably be split in two: one article for LAMU and one article for the LAMU ARHIPELAGO. Does anybody else have a view about this?
Also: About the inf. on the page that Lamu was a center for the slave trade: how accurate is that?? Zanzibar was, sure, but Lamu? According to Romero and others the slave trade there, I believe, was mostly for "domestic consumption", i.e. the main exports from Lamu was other goods (e.g. ivory, and later: mangrove poles.)

Why was the {{Lamu Archipelago}} removed (in this )? Cheers, Huldra ( talk) 18:32, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
Because the article isn't about the archipelago, the archipelago is linked in the intro and that article and the others have the template, and what with the UNESCO box too it looked too long and bloated.It looks very 2005 to me, I think it would be better off as a footer nav template than a side bar.♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:44, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
Rather unusual to have somebody even notice my editing of an African article! I'm not disputing the use of having the template, I just don't think it helps the article layout and appearance as a side bar. I wouldn't mind so much if the UNESCO box wasn't there but the two of them in the article stood out as untidy to me. I'll refactor it to a footer template tomorrow and readd it to the article if this is OK with you..♦ Dr. Blofeld 22:43, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
Done. LOL did you catch a boat down the Nile or something and end up there, it's a long way from Palestine! Hope that's OK, I've put it at default open to make it more accessible. Really all of those links should be blue. The World Heritage Site link needs to point to something.I think I'll add a landmarks section and start the fort and mosque tomorrow.♦ Dr. Blofeld 23:00, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
A place close to your heart which you have fond memories of. Sounds like you had a good time!♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:50, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

Shouldn't the Shirazi people be mentioned in this article, if only briefly, in order to help make this article more properly encyclopedic? 173.88.246.138 ( talk) 23:19, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
