Hi BrianSmithson. This is indeed a very nice article, informative and attractive. I have a question — you link to the disambiguation page groundnut; can I take that to mean peanut? Thanks — Pekinensis 14:07, 29 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I need to expand the article now that I've returned to the States and have access to more sources. As for "groundnut", yes, it's the British English form of "peanut". Cameroon prefers British spellings and words, so I've tried to use them throughout my Cameroon-related articles. BrianSmithson 18:21, 29 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks; I've fixed the link. I'm sure that 9 out of 10 links to groundnut intend the first meaning, but I don't want to be wrong on the 10th. I'm especially cautious with African articles, because Macrotyloma geocarpum and the Bambara groundnut are African crops. — Pekinensis 18:35, 29 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This page was located at Maka-Njem, but I have moved it here instead and refocused it to be specifically about the Maka people and not all speakers of Makaa-Njem languages. My sources do discuss the "Makas and Njems" quite a bit, but it was a mistake on my part to infer that the various Makaa-Njem-speaking groups could be lumped into one article in the same way that Bamileke and Beti-Pahuin are. I apologize for the mistake. — BrianSmithson 19:22, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
