-== Huge, completely unsourced section under "Zambia" ==
-There's a huge (nearly 1,600 words!), completely unsourced section under the heading "Contemporary African Art: By country: Zambia" that needs to be pared-down and properly sourced, or removed entirely.  It is filled with weasel-words and PR-speak, such as "Zambia is arguably home to some of the world's most creative and talented artists" and "works of art that are often staggering in their scope" -- and those from just the first (of eight!) paragraph.  It seems to focus on one particular organization, the Lechwe Trust, for which a Google search returns only a few hundred hits that don't point to some form of Wikimedia, or their own website.  I would prefer it if the editor who added this section would take care of Wikifying it and reducing it in proportion to what is appropriate to the rest of the article, but if that doesn't happen, it should be removed entirely.

-You cannot talk about African art and its history without mentioning the [[Traditional African religions]]. I am shocked that perhaps the most important aspect of this article has been overlooked. I am creating a section for it - and history would fall under that section. That section can be expanded of course with time, and it would be immensely helpful if fellow editors can help with that expansion.

-Hello, I have written two articles about art in Sudan: [[Visual arts of Sudan]] and [[Architecture of Sudan]]. Can someone add these to the template for African art? Thanks, [[User:Munfarid1|Munfarid1]] ([[User talk:Munfarid1|talk]]) 12:26, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
