Dogon
editThe link you added to the Dogon page has been removed, it was suggested that this is a personal link? However, I think that the information in the article it is linked to is of interest. I encourage you to resume the major points, make them verifiable and add them to the article. --User:AAM | Talk 18:12, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
Perhaps you'd like to add some references that you approve of. I have restored your cuts: you may want to quote other authors for broader balance. --Wetman 17:44, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
