You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Mali Empire. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. R Prazeres (talk) 22:49, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Cheikh Khadim Rassoul D.! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Map

Hey Cheikh,

Love this map that you made for the Jolof empire. Could you share some sources that you used for it? I'd like to make a page for Njarmeew, but the only good source for it I've found is Kane's La première hégémonie peule.

Thanks! Catjacket (talk) 10:30, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Look up "Namandirou" as well, that's how I found most sources on it Cheikh Khadim Rassoul D. (talk) 20:55, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Name 'Jolof Empire'

The name the Jolof Empire is unreasonable and here is why. First, the name Jolof originates from Arabic or Serer (atleast from what I have gathered from different sources) and it was called that by those people. However, Wolof was not a Serer or Arabic Empire at all though there was Serer and some Arabic people in the empire the Arabic population was generally a low amount. I'm sure the empire had a quite a bit of Serer people in it however again Wolof was not a serer empire, and was called Jolof by some people because of Jolof Mbengue a local chief which does not prove, that even the people inside the Empire called it Jolof (nor do we have ANY definitive proof that actual kings, nobles or Wolof citizens or even if it was officially called the Jolof Empire(it probably was by Serer or Arabic populations but my old point stands)) One could argue that in documents they call it the Jolof Empire, but this can be blamed on the fact that over the years, more people started to call Wolof, Jolof due to it being recognized by that name from most other nations for years among years, and when people started researching it releasing books, etc. they called it the Jolof Empire because of this. One can also argue that we don't really have proof that it also wasn't called the Wolof Empire but it seems way more plausible because Wolof people (from my understanding atleast) were originally called Wolof, and again were an ethnically Wolof Empire. Please let me hear your thoughts on this. Ihatedolphins321 (talk) 18:22, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
