Also explain why, if the spelling with final 'i' is pejorative, it's the one used in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.8.12.78 (talk) 16:54, March 12, 2007‎ (UTC)

I've heard claims that the Medjay were black Africans. Is there any proof of this, or is it simply baseless Afrocentric wishful thinking? Thanks. 107.77.231.90 (talk) 15:36, 16 August 2019 (UTC)HelenChicago

It is not written in "Breasted (1906), §§ 317, 324" the the first mention of Madjay can be found in the Autobiography of Weni. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.237.55.45 (talk) 12:47, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

I just checked, & the term Mḏꜣ is mentioned in §§317, 324 of Breasted (1906). Is your complaint that Breasted does not say that this is the first ever mention? (This is true, & is a reasonable complaint.) Pathawi (talk) 16:09, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
