Talk:Joaquim Chissano

Birth date
Excuse me, the main text of this article mentions an earlier bate date than the table (1939 opposed to 1943). How come, and which one is right? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Steinbach (talk • contribs) 11:13, 23 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Many thanks, Steinbach. Coincidentally, at the very same moment that you were reporting this discrepancy, I was correcting the birth date!Phase4 11:25, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Involvement in son's criminal case
Why has mention of his alleged interference with his son Nyimpine's arrest warrant been removed from this article? This looks like deliberate censorship to me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.44.180.119 (talk) 19:12, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Where is the chapter and verse for this serious allegation against Chissano?Phase4 20:18, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
 * There are sveral references given in the article on Nyimpine Chissano. There may be some deleted from here. If you look through the editing history of this article on Joaquim, a lot of negative things have been removed. Is this article really fair and balanced now?86.146.69.228 21:04, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for this. I've now added a section linked to the Nyimpine Chissano article.Phase4 23:01, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Parking text here that's unsourced and promotional
The following text, added by a new editor, is unsourced and promotional in tone. This section might be expanded by a couple sentences using the recent article in Psychology Today, but this addition seems over the top:

In 1992, Mozambique created the first in history Preventive Wings in the Military-the Unified Field Technology(TM and TM Sidhi) Quiet Impact Groups (*) in the military and police forces,to remove violence and poverty from the country using the only statistically field-tested violence removal technology, with the statistically predicted and guaranteed success of the result. (*)for the information and database on the Unified Field Technology(TM&TMSidhi)Quiet Impact Groups, called "Preventive Wings in the Military" - the definition; the full list of field tests 1972-1993; the confirmed result of the 42 field test research(50 studies)which is called "the Combined Impact" of the Unified Field Technology (TM&TMSIdhi); for the sources of the statistical data for research(COPDAB and the like);for the list of peer-reviewed scientific journals that published the statistical research outcome on the effectiveness of the Unified Field Technology(TM & TMSidhi) Quiet Impact Groups; for the list of social variables studied in the field tests, for the list of social variable modification(with statistical probability [P] Values in result of the implementation of the Unified Field Technology(TM&TM Sidhi)Quiet Impact Groups, for the full list of references-refer to: the Global Alliance for Preventive Wings in the Military, www.gapwm.org. President Chissano used the only effective scientific technology of violence and poverty removal with statistically predicted,planned and guaranteed success of the result.The consequence of implementing the Unified Field Technology (TM&TMSidhi) Quiet Impact Group in the military and police, or in other words, the consequence of President Chissano's implementing "Transcendental Meditation"in the country, as a strategic plan, was, as predicted by the scientists,the most successful transformation of our time,from violence and poverty (1992), to peace and prosperity (2000).The world's poorest and war-torn nation in 1992,removed violence permanently and moved up to bacome the world fastest growing economy in 2000.

 * I'll work on that. Thanks.-- — Keithbob • Talk  • 23:16, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I've reorganized the article to be what I feel is a more balance presentation of his entire career. I've combine various sections which created POV and removed some off topic info. The bit about the Award is in the article but without the off topic details of the award and you are correct that the other content above is unsourced and promotional and doesn't belong in the article. I did add a few things from the Psych Today article to round out his Presidential history. Please check the article and make further edits and corrections as needed.
