7th or 8th millennium[edit]

In the sudan page it states that "By the eighth millennium BC, people of a Neolithic culture had settled into a sedentary way of life there in fortified mudbrick villages, where they supplemented hunting and fishing on the Nile with grain gathering and cattle herding." While the page states that "By the seventh millennium BC, people of a Neolithic culture had settled into a sedentary way of life there in fortified mud-brick villages, where they supplemented hunting and fishing on the Nile with grain gathering and cattle herding." Which is the correct answer? If anyone has the answer I'd appreciate it I have a project due on this. (t)

Per capita income[edit]

Remove Mention of "North Sudan"[edit]

North Sudan is mentioned no where else in the article besides the random six citations in the first sentence. Six random citations is not worthy of putting it in the first sentence, because it is very rare for this name to refer to Sudan. A simple google search garners 1/1000 the results for "North Sudan" compared to "Sudan," while different names of other countries, for example "United States" vs "United States of America" or "America" differs only by at most a factor of 10. Clearly having so many citations for something obscure in the first sentence is unnecessary. Does anyone else support removal? Bill Williams (talk) 06:19, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[]

The country's official name is not North Sudan. Here in the Sudan, it is not referred to by that name. Do people in South Sudan call their neighbour 'North Sudan'? The only South Sudanese source I ever look at is Radio Tamazuj, which just uses 'Sudan'. Unless there's some significant community of use, I think 'North Sudan' should go.

Thanks for the input, I'll remove it from the article. Bill Williams (talk) 03:06, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[]
