- ... that the Tswana ruler and rainmaker Sechele I (pictured), denounced for polygamy by David Livingstone, was one of the most successful Christian missionaries of the 19th century?

5x expanded by Amandajm (talk). Self nominated at 09:25, 20 March 2013 (UTC).
5x expansion verified. New enough, long enough, well-referenced. However, I am having some trouble verifying the references and checking them for close paraphrasing because page numbers are not given for some books. The page number (p. 69) in footnote 6, for example, probably refers to one of the five citations for this book that appear in the article. I found the part about Sechele's first marriage on p. 35. Could you break out the various cites into the proper page numbers, please? (You would give the whole formatted reference on the first cite, and then write, for example, <ref>Sillery, Anthony (1974), p. 35.</ref> on the following cite.) Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 19:37, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
- I just went through the rest of the references and found everything in order, with no close paraphrasing. Yoninah (talk) 19:53, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
