Your article is starting to look like everything is coming together. The titles are good and the picture that was added on the right makes everything come together.

This is a very interesting topic. When did this witchcraft start and where? Where is it predominantly used and do people still use it today? PINKSUNBURST (talk) 16:13, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

Peer Review 4

This article is well cited but lacks wiki links. I would also like to know the specific gender of the Azande Witchcraft doctor, where the women involved in any way? The organization is very clean as well.Sir.Leyenda (talk) 16:10, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

Peer Review - Post Move

Your article is coming along very nicely, but I am curious to know if there is any credible information that explains the process of choosing an Azande oracle or witch-doctor. Is it a family inheritance like the witchcraft itself or are a special few chosen for the position? Also, have there been any past incidents of position abuse from the witches, doctors, or oracles? Have any events occurred as a result of abuse of power? This is a very interesting article and I know sources can often be scarce, but I am also curious about the placebo effect of this magic on the tribe. Happy editing.

• V00d00Child, please be specific about the "nicely" part. You've looked at a few articles, you know, or should know, what kinds of structure, organization, etc. should be in here and I think you can make some suggestions on that as well. Having said that, User:YoungWizard, those are fair and interesting questions. Ponder them--and if there's no information that provides such answers, make sure you know for sure that that information is not there. Thanks to both, Dr Aaij (talk) 02:35, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

Did You Know

1) DYK, in Zande society, they believe that witches use witchcraft to harvest the soul of a victim and feast upon it in a gathering? 2)DYK, in Zande society, witchcraft is the major cause of all tragic occurrences such as disease and death? 3) DYK, in Zande society, a group called the poison oracles feed poison to a fowl to determine if someone is a witch using witchcraft on another person? Dr Aaij, These are three hooks that I can think of. Would any of these be acceptable? YoungWizard (talk) 20:01, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
