Population density

The article states that Namibia has the world's second lowest population density, but links to another page which clearly lists, amongst fully sovereign states several nations as having lower population density (Mongolia, Australia, Botswana, Mauritania, Suriname and Iceland). Whilst some of the sources used in the table that the claim links to on Wikipedia are a few years old, the sources listed on that page seem more recent than the one used in this article. The source used for the statement in this article is a 2008 document - almost a decade old. Can anyone bring clarity to Namibia's relative standing here?

The List of countries and territories by population density article rounds to the nearest 1, and so orders incorrectly. According to those figures, Namibia has a lower density than Australia (I have not checked the others), but they are listed as equal, and so rounding errors could explain the discrepancies.

False Assumptions

"From 1904 to 1907, the Herero and the Namaqua took up arms against brutal German colonalism." That's false assumptions based on propaganda. Until 1904 the German mode of operation, was anything, but "brutal". Of course once warfare was the means for pacification (1904-1907) that toughened up --105.13.148.80 (talk) 10:39, 3 December 2017 (UTC) [reply ]

You haven't explained what you're reporting as erroneous. If you think that there is an error, you'll need to give a clear explanation of what it is. Deor (talk) 14:38, 20 October 2018 (UTC) [reply ]

Herero genocide

I really think the Herero genocide should be mentioned in the historical part of the introduction. Saying the German administration simply "began to develop infrastructure and farming" and not mentioning that the vast majority of Hereros were massacred in 4 years is bizarre, in my opinion. SaoiDunNeachdain (talk) 13:20, 3 June 2019 (UTC) [reply ]

The "Herero Genocide" is a malicious propaganda lie, anyway. Just because some people claim it, doesn't make it true. --105.12.7.238 (talk) 15:46, 18 January 2020 (UTC) [reply ]

Three articles, one country

There are articles on Namibia, South West Africa and German South West Africa. All three seem to cover the same material.

I know there is a way to propose merging them but I don't know how.
