Sorry, but if, for example, we were to have an article on the music of every country, that would be about 200 articles. Maurreen 20:41, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mime

At the end of the "folk music" paragraph appears this sentence:

"The Ozidi Saga found in the Niger Delta ... utilises; a narrator, a chorus, percussion, mime and dance"

With "mime" directing to Pantomime (theatre), "a theatrical genre, usually performed around the Christmas and New Year holiday". Am I guessing right this should direct to Mime artist, "...someone who uses mime as a theatrical medium"?

I'd fix it, but I'm not familiar with the subject and wouldn't like to damage a great article. Udi Raz 21:04, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and mime should probably be a dab page. Tuf-Kat 06:13, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yoruba emphasis

I noticed that this article seems to focus mostly on Yoruba musicians. Is this bias, or do Yoruba really provide most of the musicians in Nigeria? Brutannica (talk) 15:45, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

-== More reverts ==
-Er, what's going on here? New, apparently good, info was added (perhaps not in a good place) and it has been removed with a simple "revert". Is there some possessiveness going on here? I can understand that editors who have put a lot of work into this excellent article may feel that new additions spoil the pristine perfection of their creation. But the WP way would be to integrate new info to the same quality of grammar and linkage. Or to move it to a daughter page with a note to that effect. [[User:JackyR|JackyR]] 00:38, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
-*Are you referring to [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Music_of_Nigeria&diff=42353786&oldid=42351999 this revert].  If so, that seems like an appropriate action.  That paragraph was out-of-context and no reason for the importance of the information was given.  Plus it was unreferenced, and [[WP:CITE|citing]] sources is policy.  I'm not the one who reverted it though. [[User:TUF-KAT|Tuf-Kat]] 01:57, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
-**I was responsible for reverting. I think the complete inappropriateness of the tone for such unreferenced claims in a ''Featured Article'' were worthy of on-sight reversal. [[User:Circeus|Circeus]] 02:19, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
