Unnecessary quotation marks
The quotation marks around the Phrases “incompetent insurgents” and "superbly professional government troop's” aren’t need, the PF forces where extremely incompetent and the Security Forces where extremely skilled and beat the PF in every battle during the bush war. To keep these quotation marks in useless. TheChadeditor (talk) 18:00, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
- By the nature of insurgency, it is expected that insurgents will lose actual battles against nation-state forces. ForeverStainedWithAutism (talk) 22:25, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
Article's Map
i hate to nitpick, but shouldn't this article's map show Sudan as a unified state? similarly to South West Africa's map. Dawnslayer (talk) 17:41, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
South Africa in the first paragraph
Why is South Africa called "Apartheid South Africa" at the end of the first paragraph as if it was country's official name? Wouldn't it be better to keep it at a neutral "...the other being the Union of South Africa"? 91.231.66.254 (talk) 17:51, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
- Agree on the naming front. However, the Union of South Africa came to an end in 1961, so linking to that is also anacrhonistic. Have corrected. Mangwanani (talk) 18:45, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
Country area
Why is the stated area of Rhodesia 177 km2 less that the stated area of Zimbabwe? Was there some sort of territory change/gain in 1980? --24.80.199.58 (talk) 13:47, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

- What I think should be changed (format using Template:Tl):
The music file for the anthem "God save the Queen" is named "God save the King.ogg" and the subtitles are also in the masculine form.
- Why it should be changed:
Since the anthem was removed in 1970, the music file with subtitles should match what the title accurately describes.
Additionally, the usage is inconsistent across the three pages "Rhodesia" "Southern Rhodesia" and "Rhodesia (1964-1965)", with two different music files and all subtitles in the masculine form. I also question (for lack of a better word) the Daseinsberechtigung of the article "Rhodesia (1964-1965)", but that may be due a different discussion. 2A02:8388:1AC6:E580:5905:A23A:8F00:9BA9 (talk) 00:35, 27 December 2023 (UTC) Template:Reftalk
History Seems Incomplete
This article, and the history section in particular, seems to exhibit a particular slant by focusing extensively on the white minority's economic and political history while minimizing broader historical context and the experiences of the black majority. The history section starts relatively late, omitting significant early figures like Cecil Rhodes, and heavily emphasizes the economic activities and political maneuvers of the white population. This selective historical narrative may give an unbalanced view of Rhodesia's history, glossing over the impact of colonialism and the black majority's struggle against racial discrimination and for independence.
I would politely request a review by someone with scholarly credentials and specialization in African history. 217.180.214.108 (talk) 11:24, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
