Comments[edit]

Ryckmans was the author of a book explaining enlightened colonial policy 'Domineir pour Servir'(1931) [Dominate to Serve]. Are there English translations that the article could link to? A short summary of it would be a useful addition to the article, anyway. 69.181.249.69 (talk) 06:54, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Need for rewrite[edit]

The article seems to be the work of a single person, with the historical present being used throughout. Rewriting in encyclopedic language is necessary. There is also some discursive language "one should read ..." which is out of place in article of this kind. Everybody got to be somewhere! (talk) 22:43, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
