Does anyone have any ideas on how we can tidy this article up, and establish the criteria for an inclusion? I'm aware I've added many poorly substantiated ones. Alexanderkowal ( talk) 22:35, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
I realise I've acted unilaterally in changing the title of this page without reaching a consensus with other editors, however there doesn't seem to be many editors active on this page. If you disagree with anything I'm doing, please feel free to talk about it. Alexanderkowal ( talk) 14:25, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
Just wanted to make a list of areas that I feel aren't covered well in this list for anyone that wants to improve it:
I'll update this if I make any progress on these or identify any more gaps Alexanderkowal ( talk) 20:10, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello
Alexanderkowal and thanks for all your improvements to this list. However, despite the improvements, the list fails
criterion 2b since there are too many unreferenced paragraphs. Examples are the paragraphs starting with "Ancient history refers to the time period"
, "Outside of North Africa, most of African political history"
, and "Sub-Saharan African societies have broadly been labelled"
. According to criterion 2b, these passages require inline citations "no later than the end of the paragraph". I suggest that you add all the relevant references before a renomination.
A few other observations
This is a list of kingdoms and empires in Africa throughout history.This lead sentence more or less just repeats the title, see MOS:THISISALIST
For this reason, and in the interest of highlighting differencereplace "difference" with "differences" or "the difference"
