Fulani herder, central Mali & other edits

[edit]

I wikified a bit and did some other edits. Notably changed Peul shepherd to Fulani herder. Peul, of course, is the French term from the original article. The original uses berger which literally translates as shepherd, but in African contexts, it generally has a broader application to pastoralists. In Mali there are some Fulani who specialize in herding sheep, but most herd cattle - either way "herder" is a correct translation. Also, the original locates Mopti in eastern Mali, but more accurately it is central.--A12n (talk) 23:37, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
