Talk:Second Boer War

Article Vandalism
There description of the article has been extensively vandalised can someone fix this? Tea4life (talk) 15:28, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

How exactly had it been vandalized? A quick read looks fine. I see no history of vandalism in the edit history? BoonDock (talk) 14:47, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

Lack of balance
The article seems curiously lopsided. For instance, the 'Imperial involvement' section seems far longer than is merited. The section on Canada alone - which let's face it was of pretty marginal importance by any standards - is as long on that on Concentration Camps, which seems bizarre to say the least. I suppose that this sort of thing often occurs in Wikipedia articles: someone with specific interests comes along and thinks a particular aspect of an article deserves more attention. Then, unless  there is an overall editor, that greatly  inflated contribution will stay there however insignificant it is compared to other important aspects. So would someone like to do some serious and drastic editing? BobBadg (talk) 18:10, 25 July 2023 (UTC)


 * For some curious reason, Canada's involvement is always hugely well documented and even exaggerated in articles such as this, so I assume it's the same single editor doing it.
 * The article is biased in general though and badly needs attention. Casualties are hugely lopsided because British wounded are included but Boer are not, etc. if those figures aren't known that's one thing, but as it stands it's very misleading. 2A00:23C5:CE1C:DB01:F7AD:9BF0:3E1B:9971 (talk) 01:30, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

The name of the War
The name Boer War is archaic. It has been known as the South African War (1899-1902) for quite some time, because more diverse groups were involved in the conflict. This really should be corrected 41.150.250.78 (talk) 17:51, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
