Talk:Oromo people - Wikipedia

Template:The Africa Destubathon banner

I happened across the "Oromo people" page ... and noticed that what seems to be the same term seems to have two spellings: "Gadda" five times and "Gadaa" seven times.

Should there be only one spelling? If so, perhaps it should be corrected and consolidated into one spelling? (Or indicate that both spellings are equivalent and acceptable.)

If the different spellings indicate some difference in meaning, I did not see it. If so, perhaps that difference should be made clear.

There are many full citations that are complete duplicates, even ones to the same page(s). I started unifying these duplicates, starting with Sorenson2001p41 or Sorenson2001p39. After an hour or so I had found that other sources were similarly duplicate-cited. I'm stopping now to get to sleep, but I will return to the task tomorrow and finish it. --Thnidu (talk) 05:08, 18 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

@94.46.179.65: With this edit, you allege in your edit summary that the cited sources do not discuss "red" and "black" slaves. They do. Please see lines 20-32 of page 73, along with the context on pages 72-74 of the cited The Cambridge World History of Slavery, as one example. If you have concerns, please discuss them here.
