Population[edit]

Can Sombody give some population figures? --MrFarenhiet 03:05, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

(replying four years later, but to make a point): I think this is going to be hard, because as far as I know, Stone Town isn't a formal entity from a census or administrative point of view. It's like saying "downtown". Zanzibaris even use "Stone Town" in a more restrictive way, i.e., people in Forodhani may give you directions to "go to Stone Town", as if Forodhani wasn't itself in Stone Town; they use it in a "downtown downtown" sense, i.e., at the "very centre", referring to the inner maze of coral stone houses you meet after passing the Old Fort from Forodhani. In practice, I think this article should emphasize Stone Town as a heritage site and cultural entity rather than a demographic or geographic entity. I am tempted to move climate data, as well as any population data, to Zanzibar City, where they would be more in context. Moongateclimber (talk) 13:39, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

fix the link[edit]

the bit "(mostly clover

is incorrect and also incorrectly linked. it should be "(mostly cloves)" and should be linked to cloves the spice and not clover the animal feed.

INCORRECT LINK = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clover

CORRECT LINK http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloves — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.127.143.83 (talk) 22:54, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

History[edit]

Sultan Said ibn Sultan moved in 1832 from Muscut to Zanzibar not in 1840, see wiki article Zanzibar.--Altaye (talk) 16:16, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

New Rating[edit]

Wonder if we can get this article re-rated. I think the article has potential to become a good article with some guidance. -- Sputink (talk) 22:00, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
