meaning for someone who wasn't there or has no relevant experience. Take the title of the article, Justice and Equality Movement, for example. This is a pretty obscure name that an organized group have decided to call themselves to signify what the are fighting for. It suggests things, such as organization, but the name does not suggest that they fight at all. It suggests to me that they are concerned with having a good PR image within the international community. I know a different side of the story. I know what weapons they use, what tea they drink, when they pray and how, which by the way is illustrated in one of my photographs at the link below. I know how they travel, what they eat, how old their youngest rebels are... I know their names. These are all questions I get from the hundreds of audiences I've spoken to and shown this work to. I am sure they are questions wikipedia users have too and none of it is listed in the article

currently, are benefiting the movement on a whole. Their collective history put them on this road they are currently on. The shared marginalization and desertified environment yielding the struggle for resources which is at the root cause of their movement. My photographs contain much of this information and therefore is, in my opinion, germane to the article in question. You mentioned looking at my photographs. Did you notice the child with the assault rifle? He is a member of the JEM, which is stated in the caption. This is important information about this movement, which is not presently covered in the article and conveys it in a very non-accusatory manner. This collection of pictures should ultimately ask more questions than it answers, but ultimately this serves the impetus for, inquiry, and expanding knowledge. I see this as a benefit to these specific articles.

Sudan professionally. You do not have to agree that images augment our knowledge of a thing, especially one as obscure to most in the developed world as a genocide, or rebel movement. Perhaps you too have been to Darfur and rode with the Justice and Equality Movement through the desert and decimated villages and therefore do not need to see photographs because you have truly experienced the topics I am trying to illustrate. However there is a good percentage of the population who does require imagery, and I do not think it appropriate for you to suppress it for those individuals. I hope you are willing to see my links as a means to illustrate the topics I have photographed, or possibly as a cultural backdrop for the experience of learning about those subjects, for those who will never go to these paces and do the things I have done - especially for those who learn visually.

where a link could be included for self promotion. Perhaps I am too close to the issue after all this time. Perhaps I find it hard to separate my self from it as it has taken over my personal and professional life. Disseminating my work on Sudan and speaking on the subject at hundreds of universities since 2003, is indeed how I pay my bills, so I hope you can understand the grey area I refer to, but my financial reward has been small, and leaves much to be desired. I know I will not benefit directly from my contribution to Knowledge (XXG).

that maybe it was done because during the time Maria has become notable within her own right. Then, the big surprise, when I checked the history page, I found out that the person or user had recreated the article and as I said before by pasting my original work and taking the credit as creator. I wasn't about to let this happen, so what I did was delete the copy and redirect the original with the real history page. Anyway, I don't have anthing against the merge, but I think that maybe Maria has become notable on her own merits.

future images. More importantly, it is my responsibility to see to it that they are used in the proper context. Knowledge (XXG) is a great context, but once they are released there, God only knows what people will think to use them for. These people trusted me with their stories during the most vulnerable times. I am doing my best to make sure their initial intentions in allowing me to photograph them are upheld along with, most importantly, their dignity.

You are a good person to interact with. Just for the sake of common knowledge. You are going to put a time limit for the consensus, right?

You are right about my objectives. I do seek to raise awareness, if not the level of debate too. Perhaps I am not understanding you particular use of the phrase "raise awareness" but I thought this was exactly the intention of wikipedia. I could just as justly ask why you are trying to suppress

Regardless, I do feel that the links I am adding are important additions to our collective knowledge. If I didn't feel this way I would not have snuck into Sudan a half dozen times to document the various aspects of the crisis there with a camera - I would not have devoted the last seven years to

Hi Averell23, thank you for your message. Yes, I remember that I didn't mind the merge. What happened was that soemone else went on to re-create the same article pasting the original material which I had written. At first I found it strange that someone would undelete the article and then figured

In regard to the Justice and Equality Movement link, I feel it is appropriate because the movement, at the end of the day, is made up of individuals. In this case they come from the same region of the world, share the same general ideology, dress similarly, and have similar lifestyles which,
