Talk:Baháʼí Faith in Zambia

Resources

One place to plumb for mention is the Bahá'í News articles - see [1]

• A sample citation syntax: {{cite magazine | author= (if there is one, check the end of the article) | title = | magazine = Bahá'í News | volume=check the font of the issue | issue= check the font of the issue | pages = | date = | url = notice the url from the search is page specific, the far right of the url matching the page number on the left | access-date = }} (be careful of encyclopedic tone usage)

• (with more basic style syntax that cn be up-cnverted later) Two Baha'i International Community Projects: Cameroon and ZambiaRead more at https://www.bic.org/statements/two-bahai-international-community-projects-cameroon-and-zambia#CZUyiUG62yHkjADC.99, Documents and News, Baha'i International Community, New York, April 30 1996, BIC Document #: 96-0430
• Zambia: Baha'i Faith Voices Its Concerns About Zambia's Economy, by Reuben Phiri, The Post (Lusaka), Dec 3, 1998 (though the site requires registration to see the whole thing, might be worth including maybe)
  • This looks like a highly valuable source to include - a Master's Thesis. And in addition to a source it could be good enough to use in a section "Further reading". However the source url is dead slow at least when I tried it. So depending on experience I may suggest trying various urls:
• Towards a history of the Bahai Faith in Zambia, by Beard H Mwanza, Department of Religious Studies, University of Zambia, 2011
• alternative url: [2]
• archive.org based url: [3]

Note when you use archive.org you add a couple entries to the syntax of citation. Here's a possible full citation:

• Beard H Mwanza (2011). Towards a history of the Bahai Faith in Zambia (PDF) (Thesis). Zambia: Department of Religious Studies, University of Zambia. Archived from the original (PDF) on Feb 6, 2016.

that'll keep busy a while! More later… --Smkolins (talk) 00:05, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Just saw this, thanks very much. I'll try to incorporate all this over the next while. ThomasEdistar (talk) 02:21, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

Copied text

I've been asked to acknowledge everywhere I copied text from other articles, so I should acknowledge that when I started this article I simply expanded the relevant section from Religion in Zambia (of which I was also a partial author). ThomasEdistar (talk) 17:34, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
