Ok Rexford and Oral.<br>
Advertisment it is.<br>
Fine.<br>
We can live with it as long as it is not too frequent and too
pushy ;) <br>
The goal and the mission is commandable. So I REALLY wish you
success in that business. <br>
<br>
TWO little requests though (not recommandations, requests :)).<br>
<br>
1. Trademark issue<br>

You introduce Afropedia as, I quote, <br>

<b>Afropedia is NOT the African version of Wikipedia. It is unrelated to Wikipedia, it is not even under a free licence</b>. I<b> would be surprised to hear that it is considered an "affiliate" project.
So, your introduction to Afropedia is misleading and this needs to be clarified.
This point is easy to fix
2. Licence issue
<a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.worldafropedia.com">http://www.worldafropedia.com</a> is published under a non-commercial licence.
Yet.... after a quick checking, most of its content is clearly a copy paste from Wikipedia.
As in <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.worldafropedia.com/afropedia/Adja-Ou%C3%A8r%C3%A8">http://www.worldafropedia.com/afropedia/Adja-Ouèrè</a>
So, you violate terms of Wikipedia licence for two reasons
1. You republish a content originally under a free licence, under a non free licence
2. You do not cite the source, nor the names of the original authors
That point is a bit more tricky that the above one... but need to be addressed.
