AlanE, thanks for doing some cleanup on this!<br />

I'm just wondering why you changed the second word to "was" instead of "is." It's true that slavery was the norm, but is not longer. However, slavery still takes place in some third-world countries, does it not? Perhaps my information is outdated, but I though this was still a problem in some parts of the world.--[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">David B</font>]] <sup><small>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</small></sup> 22:45, 22 August 2016 (EDT)

:It is certainly a problem in certain parts of the world, but I know of no part of the accepted global community where it is legal. It is not legal in international law as far as I know.
::And while I have you... the hyphen between the number and century (e.g. 4th-century) is wrong. It shouldn't be there. It has been bugging me for a while and this morning I finally looked into it. So every time I come across it in my travels I will revert it. I hope you will too.
