The old name of Lokandu was commonly spelled like this (with a hyphen), so it's better to have this as an additional redirect besides [[Riba Riba]]

Create redirect

/* */ "latter" is no longer needed

/* Vegetarianism */ Avoid duplicate "slaughtered"

Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1359039340|1359039340]] by [[Special:Contributions/~2026-34617-07|~2026-34617-07]] ([[User talk:~2026-34617-07|talk]]) – Citations and more details follow in the article body below and so don't need to be repeated here, see [[MOS:LEADCITE]]

Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1358992510|1358992510]] by [[Special:Contributions/~2026-34541-74|~2026-34541-74]] ([[User talk:~2026-34541-74|talk]]) – this would need a [[WP:reliable source]] to establish that it's (still) relevant

/* First murders */ No hyphen needed after -ly

/* Early life */ "who" is correct here (the mother belittled him, not the other way around)

/* Aftermath */ Relative images sizes are preferred, absolute ones should be avoided

On second thought, scale it down a bit because the standard size seems excessive for this upright image

/* */ Standard image size should be fine

Reverted [[WP:AGF|good faith]] edits by [[Special:Contributions/NSNW|NSNW]] ([[User talk:NSNW|talk]]): Sentences belong to the debate about the reasons of the famine which constitutes the 2nd paragraph; comma instead of dash works well here

/* Home media */ Fix verb

/* Ambulant stage */ Move reference back to the end of the paragraph

/* Books */ Repair author-link

Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1358736602|1358736602]] by [[Special:Contributions/Motekov|Motekov]] ([[User talk:Motekov|talk]]) – that Simpson isn't explicitly listed as author/editor here is intentional, since they are all his

Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1358728722|1358728722]] by [[Special:Contributions/Wirjadisastra|Wirjadisastra]] ([[User talk:Wirjadisastra|talk]]) – explicitly requesting the number of columns as refbegin parameter is deprecated

Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1358729056|1358729056]] by [[Special:Contributions/~2026-34390-77|~2026-34390-77]] ([[User talk:~2026-34390-77|talk]]) – old version is better, "a homosexual" is very dated

Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1358710684|1358710684]] by [[Special:Contributions/Loytra|Loytra]] ([[User talk:Loytra|talk]]) – "our own" is also used in the body and while it's not ideal it may be hard to avoid here – "modern humans" is highly ambiguous and arguably many or all species in the book could be considered such

/* The slave economy */ Add period at end of ref

Deal with name variants (-k vs. -q) for consistency and add italics

Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1358580739|1358580739]] by [[Special:Contributions/~2026-34161-35|~2026-34161-35]] ([[User talk:~2026-34161-35|talk]]) – not redundant, at least not entirely

/* Cicero and Tiro */ Punctuation in ref

/* The slave economy */ Punctuation in ref

Restore phrase, but without "irresponsibly" – it's from the linked articles page and so should be considered a fair summary

Keep it simpler – no need for technical jargon

/* Editions */ Expand "MS(S)" to "manuscript(s)" in some cases

[[Human cannibalism]] seems the better link target here

/* 19th century */ Switch sentence order

Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1358219155|1358219155]] by [[Special:Contributions/Fallopianam|Fallopianam]] ([[User talk:Fallopianam|talk]]) – "China" is more readable and fully clear in this context

/* Exo-, endo-, and autocannibalism */ Tweak wikilink to avoid redirect; add "exocannibalism" to caption to match nearby text

/* */ Remove scare quotes

Add and tweak wikilinks

/* Capture */ Remove unnecessary pronoun and tweak wording to avoid duplicate "said"

Add protected spaces before ellipses, per the MOS

/* Critical reception */ Not just "his", that's a general statement

Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1358186000|1358186000]] by [[Special:Contributions/MagicatthemovieS|MagicatthemovieS]] ([[User talk:MagicatthemovieS|talk]]) – I doubt "first Australian woman sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole" can be considered a "historical feat" of "significant historical impact"

/* James Archer */ Add source for the ship's conversion

Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1358118352|1358118352]] by [[Special:Contributions/SpemicaSpeaks|SpemicaSpeaks]] ([[User talk:SpemicaSpeaks|talk]]) – no need for anyone's "own work" here

/* Capture */ Remove unnecessary "claimed"

Remove spurious spaces before refs

/* Chinese folk religion */ Use the spelling of the article title directly

Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1358040146|1358040146]] by [[Special:Contributions/Xqgieq|Xqgieq]] ([[User talk:Xqgieq|talk]]) – image is fan fiction, not a suitable depiction

/* Capture */ Split long paragraph

Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1357912533|1357912533]] by [[Special:Contributions/~2026-33544-45|~2026-33544-45]] ([[User talk:~2026-33544-45|talk]]) – no readable source given, and that reads more like an advertisement than suitable

Logical quotation mark placement

Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1357893648|1357893648]] by [[Special:Contributions/Cattenion|Cattenion]] ([[User talk:Cattenion|talk]]) – no link needed for such as common word and the "floruit" usage refers anybody to persons, not civilizations

/* Sexual abuse, reproductive exploitation, and breeding farms */ Restore wikilink

/* American Civil War */ Join short paragraphs

/* Sexual abuse, reproductive exploitation, and breeding farms */ Join short paragraphs; put quotation mark at end of full sentence; tweak link text for clarity

/* Domestic slave trade and forced migration */ Join short paragraphs

/* High demand and smuggling */ Join short paragraphs and remove unnecessary commas

/* Abolitionism in the North */ Join short paragraphs

Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1357799165|1357799165]] by [[Special:Contributions/~2026-33343-17|~2026-33343-17]] ([[User talk:~2026-33343-17|talk]]) – not actually used as reference, and its reliability is unclear

Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1357720481|1357720481]] by [[Special:Contributions/SKBNK|SKBNK]] ([[User talk:SKBNK|talk]]) – "edition" is the usual word here

Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1357651570|1357651570]] by [[Special:Contributions/Danielfrayer|Danielfrayer]] ([[User talk:Danielfrayer|talk]]) – old version seems fine, "bordering" isn't needed here

Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1357713110|1357713110]] by [[Special:Contributions/Python Drink|Python Drink]] ([[User talk:Python Drink|talk]]) – not needed, "is" is fine

Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1357707488|1357707488]] by [[Special:Contributions/Gwapo461|Gwapo461]] ([[User talk:Gwapo461|talk]]) – unsourced and unclear what it means – 230/400 V is the standard in the Philippines, so presumably used by anybody

Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1357693128|1357693128]] by [[Special:Contributions/~2026-32928-78|~2026-32928-78]] ([[User talk:~2026-32928-78|talk]]) – distributor is not the main criterion for indie, and if you think reliable sources (RS) are wrong, it's not sufficient to just say so – you have to show other RS that prove them wrong

Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1357601397|1357601397]] by [[Special:Contributions/JustusAnkka|JustusAnkka]] ([[User talk:JustusAnkka|talk]]) – not needed – the caption should be reasonably short and the text says there may be two photographs

/* Incarceration */ Unclear whether that's still the case

Absolute image sizing should be avoided and the default size seems fine here

/* By religion */ Make image caption clearer and move image into the relevant section

Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1357532077|1357532077]] by [[Special:Contributions/~2026-24647-79|~2026-24647-79]] ([[User talk:~2026-24647-79|talk]]) – daughter seems to be correct

Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1357449754|1357449754]] by [[Special:Contributions/17fofngo28710|17fofngo28710]] ([[User talk:17fofngo28710|talk]]) – not needed, old wording seems fine

Switch to em dashes for consistency

[[Wikipedia:MOSNUMscript|script]]-assisted date audit and style fixes per [[MOS:NUM]]

Document that American English is used and remove inconsistencies

/* Sexual ethics and attitudes */ Clarify purpose of ne serva clause based on McGinn – it was chiefly about owner's honor, not about a general opposition to forcing slaves to serve their owner's wishes

/* Sexual ethics and attitudes */ Only female slaves could be protected by this clause

/* Gladiators, entertainers, and prostitutes */ The "ne serva prostituatur" clause is covered below, so this is repetitive; moreover that "Romans saw prostitution as worse than slavery" is not actually covered by the cited book

Use regular en dash

Remove spurious spaces before references, italicize Force Publique, split long paragraph

Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1357291550|1357291550]] by [[Special:Contributions/Rt. Hon. Chase W. Marrie|Rt. Hon. Chase W. Marrie]] ([[User talk:Rt. Hon. Chase W. Marrie|talk]]) – I don't think we need that, infoboxes should be limited to information really relevant for our readers

/* Incarceration */ Consistent use of quotation marks in ref

/* Incarceration */ Simplify dash to comma

/* Incarceration */ Simplify a bit, improve reference formatting, add another source

Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1357363974|1357363974]] by [[Special:Contributions/Thyulc|Thyulc]] ([[User talk:Thyulc|talk]]) – unsourced change, as far as I can see

Fix case to match actual page

/* Social */ Not so few actually

/* Politics */ Remove unnecessary capitals

Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1357203069|1357203069]] by [[Special:Contributions/~2026-32589-99|~2026-32589-99]] ([[User talk:~2026-32589-99|talk]]) – unexplained content removal

/* Severed hands as proof and currency */ Join short paragraphs

/* Single-phase electric stove plugs and sockets */ Use total_width parameter

/* Music */ Complete reference title

/* Music */ Fix formatting and shorten a bit

Rectify quotation marks and apostrophes per the MOS

Reverted [[WP:AGF|good faith]] edits by [[Special:Contributions/~2026-32305-17|~2026-32305-17]] ([[User talk:~2026-32305-17|talk]]): Not needed, old version is clear enough

Restored revision 1356907756 by [[Special:Contributions/Gawaon|Gawaon]] ([[User talk:Gawaon|talk]]): Source doesn't treat the eating incident in tribal terms; the term "askari" wasn't used in the Congolese context, and we have no positive proof that Leopold really and publicly approved cutting off other body parts

Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1356913498|1356913498]] by [[Special:Contributions/~2026-32305-17|~2026-32305-17]] ([[User talk:~2026-32305-17|talk]]) – we shouldn't interpret his "I'd cut off all the rest of them" quite so literally

Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1356914325|1356914325]] by [[Special:Contributions/~2026-32305-17|~2026-32305-17]] ([[User talk:~2026-32305-17|talk]]) – old wording is better, since the state wasn't technically a colony

Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1356907817|1356907817]] by [[Special:Contributions/~2026-32305-17|~2026-32305-17]] ([[User talk:~2026-32305-17|talk]]) – old version is clearer, since rubber quotas were imposed on villages, not tribes or ethnic groups

Reverted [[WP:AGF|good faith]] edits by [[Special:Contributions/~2026-32305-17|~2026-32305-17]] ([[User talk:~2026-32305-17|talk]]): Unnecessary, "Africans" is clear enough

/* Cannibalism */ Actually it was a concession company, not the Force Publique, see the linked page

Move new entry into correct position

Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1356872603|1356872603]] by [[Special:Contributions/~2026-31626-79|~2026-31626-79]] ([[User talk:~2026-31626-79|talk]]) – already in the infobox, no need to repeat it here

/* */ Use DMY dates throughout, for consistency

/* Film adaptations */ Add second source, use film title as translated there, and copyedit

/* Economics and civilization */ Correct text to reflect the cited study's own conclusions instead of arbitrarily citing a snippet from a third author

Move new paragraph into a section where it fits better

/* Single-phase electric stove plugs and sockets */ Tweak text based on what the image apparently shows
