About your edits

It is unnecessary and un-encyclopedic to list the specific genetic details of a people's demographics the way you have stated them. Your intentions may be good but the majority of haitians (95%) that are predominately black may have some european ancestry as well, just not significant enough to label them mulatto. It is simply enough to say "African" ancestry seeing that "African" encompasses North/West/South/Central African. Thank you. Spyder00Boi 23:00, 24 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Please stop

Please stop making these unencyclopedic edits in which you list all possible sources you can think of of Haitian ancestry. Using present-day geopolitical entities for the "descent" of Haitian slaves is anachronistic and silly; it serves no reasonable purpose and degrades the articles. Again, please stop it.  --Lambiam 20:45, 26 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

I general, when authors use "West Africa", they do not necessarily mean countries. West Africa is primarily a geographic designation. Counties are political entities that happen to have geographic locations. Even if the authors mean to imply the countries usually considered to comprise West Africa, it is generally silly to list them. If an article has the sentence Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon it is silly to replace that by: Julius Casar: his head, his arms, his torso, his legs, crossed the Rubicon.
When an author uses "West Africa" in regard to events that happened in the 17th and 18th centuries, it is actually rather certain that they do not mean: the countries now comprising West Africa, most of which did not even exist at the time: they were only formed in the 20th century. To expand 18th century West Africa into a 20th century country list is an anachronism.
At the time people were enslaved and taken from Africa, Ghana did not exist. There was an historic Empire of Ghana, but that ceased to exist in the 11th century. If your interest is ancestral descent, historically it would make more sense to refer to tribes instead of countries, but we have no accurate information about the many many tribes from which the slaves were taken. Probably many were traded with the Empire of Ashanti, who were active slavers themselves, but they took their slaves from other tribes.
Unless you have reliable sources that you can cite, I strongly urge you to refrain from such attempts to include lists related to the ancestral descent of Haitians; your attempts until now have been misguided.  --Lambiam 03:31, 27 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
