Zimbabwe Rhodesia Stamps?
As far as I can recall, no overprinted stamps were issued in the brief life of the Zimbabwe Rhodesia state; Rhodesia stamps were replaced by stamps with Zimbabwe.

I cannot cite references to this 'omission' (there would be none of course if there were no overprints!) but I lived there and was a philatelist at the time, so was very conscious about stamps, I suggest the reference to the overprints be removed unless there can be a citation to validate it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Publisher100 (talk • contribs) 02:05, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

The updated reference regarding Zimbabwe Rhodesia stamps is still inaccurate, as far as I can tell. Can someone provide citations indicating there were forgeries of Zimbabwe Rhodesia stamps? I think there were forgeries of the original UDI era overprints but that is another time and another situation. In fact, Rhodesia stamps were used right through the Zimbabwe-Rhodesia period, replaced with definitives with Zimbabwe after independence in 1980. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.206.177.41 (talk) 04:19, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

"biracial rule"
This term is a misnomer, since it implies that whites and blacks now lead in conjunction. Even without the POV stance that whites now are disenfranchised (pretty undeniable), a less POV wording would be majority rule or something similar. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.0.209.200 (talk) 03:34, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Zimbabwe-Rhodesia → Zimbabwe Rhodesia – The constitution of Zimbabwe Rhodesia did not include a hyphen (or, indeed, the prefix "Republic of"—it seems the country was just "Zimbabwe Rhodesia"). See scan here. Thank you to User:Anegada for bringing this to light. —  Cliftonian   (talk)  07:35, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

Hyphenated name
I recall the name of the country being hyphenated, though it appears that this practice was only by foreign media, which I have cited in the article. Polemicista (talk) 19:45, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

"Marxist liberation movements referred to as "terrorists""
'Terrorists' shouldn't be hyphenated, as these "liberation movements" WERE terrorists - they bombed and murdered many innocent civilians. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.68.105.175 (talk) 02:09, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
