Rhodesia

 * 1) Support Quite a bit of work has been done recently to this article, much by . Contemporary relevancy to Zimbabwe. Wizzy&hellip;  &#9742;   08:07, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Object.  The Some Publications section needs to be renamed and probably split out as per the naming standards at Citing sources to make it clear which of the listed publications, if any, are used as references.  Because of this issue, the article's references are questionable at best.  In addition, the artice has no form of inline citations.  The article also needs to do a better job defining its terms.  An example of this is the term (abbreviation?) OAU  which is used serveral times but not defined.  --Allen3 talk 22:41, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Object. Needs a references section and footnotes. RyanGerbil10 00:32, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Object. Following everyone else above about references and inline citations. The lead also needs to made larger. AndyZ 00:51, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Comments regarding references noted. Please bear in mind that much of this is too old to be contemporary to today's Internet, and too new to be studied as a 'dead language' by scholars. Books have been written, but they make poor reference targets, as they are verifiable by only a few. I think the lead section succinctly summarises the subject.

 * Object.. Doesn't have enough 'meat' to it. - [[Image:Flag of Australia.svg|24px]] Gt 11:53, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Object, refs should be tied directly to the article using ref/note system. If the pubs listed are old, find newer ones.Rlevse 18:30, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Just a quick note, the ref/note system doesn't have to be implemented; see Wikipedia_talk:Featured_article_candidates, which also shows how ref tags can work. There are also other ways of using inline citations. AndyZ 21:13, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
 * True, let me rephrase that to inline citations and footnotes.Rlevse 14:58, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
