Rhodesia
You deleted some useful stuff on the Rhodesia page, which I have put back. It is quite possible that there is a lop-sided viewpoint on this page, and NPOV is what we strive for. Rather than deleting the opposing point of view, it would be better to balance it with the other side. If you have a lot to share around the Bush War, you might try starting another page - say Bush War, Rhodesia and then linking it to the main article. However, that page should also try to balance both sides of the war. Please take this as encouragement, not critism. Wizzy&hellip; &#9742;   11:09, August 16, 2005 (UTC)

Well done
I congratulate you your attempts to make the Rhodesia and Zimbabwe articles a little more NPOV. Unfortunately, they have a habit of sinking back into very biased ways, and I had given up of them for the time being. However, if you need any support for your edits, let me know. You might also want to have a look at the Robert Mugabe article, which also has a tendency to turn into a PR publication for Zanu PF! Best regards, 80.255 00:15, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
