- ... that William Earle referred to slave traders as "Bite Men"? Source: In The Earles of Liverpool on page 51 it says "Slavers who specialised in trading to these two places and also New Calabar were referred to by William Earle and presumably by other slavers as ‘Bite Men’ (from Bight of Biafra)"

Overall: 
Article is new enough, long enough and sourced. The hook is cited and interesting, and Earwig picks up no copyvio. The only issue is it looks like qpq might be needed for this one. BuySomeApples (talk) 05:16, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
