contextulisation

the African and Asian guests at a pub dinner given by the African and Asian Society found themselves seperated from other guests by a screen placed in the room^[1]

so, cordless lary proposed i put this here for a discussion of where to contextualised this information — Preceding unsigned comment added by Menacinghat (talk • contribs) 23:21, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

References

^ "Ayahs, Lascars and Princes: The Story of Indians in Britain 1700-1947".

Just inserting that example into the article isn't helpful, in my view. It needs more context. Do we have sources that establish that this was typical of the time, for example? Why are we picking this example rather than others? Cordless Larry (talk) 13:07, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

nb edit conflict

I'm not sure what point is being made, implicitly that there was prejudice against/distaste of these people, of which this is an example. It isn't even clear who was segregated, the society members from the general clients of the pub that night or the white and non-white society members from each other. If the point is that there was prejudice, I would have thought a better, more general statement would be clearer covering something broader than this incident. Pincrete (talk) 13:15, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Film reel

Agreed. I feel the same about this. Why are we singling out this one film reel to open a section with? Cordless Larry (talk) 17:50, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the material about the film reel. Cordless Larry (talk) 18:02, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Just a thought, but if the film is in the public domain, would a captioned 'still' work as an image? as suggested here "would this be better as an image if poss?". Pincrete (talk) 22:04, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, that might make more sense - using it to illustrate the article. Cordless Larry (talk) 22:13, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: moved ~~(pending technical request)~~. (non-admin closure) — Newslinger talk 17:06, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Black British → Black British people – The phrase Black British could be read as a compound adjective, whereas we generally use nouns for page titles. Black British people matches the lead sentence, and is more consistent with various other pages listed at Template:African diaspora, such as Afro-Caribbean people, Afro-Dutch people, Afro-Portuguese people, Black Scottish people, and British African-Caribbean people, as well as plain old British people.
