Edit from July 16, 2019 resulted in page error

There was an edit on July 16, 2019, wherein the public image section was amended, and a fraction of a paragraph was moved. The LGBT Abuses section on the current version of this page shows what’s left of this paragraph, which does not pertain to LGBT issues. As a novice Wikipedia editor, I’m unsure of the best way to remedy the error. Can we please get a more experienced member to correct it?

Fixed. Prolog (talk) 15:41, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

Rather polite?

As a random visitor to this article, my feeling is that this is currently rather too positive about its subject, and could do with a rather wider perspective.

COVID-19 category

Hi, I noticed he's placed within "COVID-19 pandemic deaths in Tanzania". Has it been confirmed that he died from COVID-19? Isn't it speculation? Regards. -CoryGlee (talk) 16:12, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Possibly. I am fully not sure but we will keep this under the category until it has been fully confirmed DXLB Muzikant (talk) 19:06, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Why Dont you write the word taken that was said by vice president of Tanzania? 41.222.179.22 (talk) 08:03, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

Probably because governmental statements involving self-interest tend to be historically unreliable. --Bejnar (talk) 15:21, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

Well, that's not in dispute, but quotable, since it is notable I'd say. I recall the rumour that he "died of Covid", but I also recall this being dismissed again. Strange of course, that people, who take a stance against the WHO, then die under mysterious circumstances. And that the COVID-claim is then circulated about this. --105.8.7.232 (talk) 13:58, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

To change the sentence part "flags would fly at half-staff nationwide" to "flags would fly at half-mast nationwide"

Masts are on ships, staves are in the earth. The terms mean the same anyway, but the phrasing half staff is correct for land. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 18:06, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

I agree with ScottishFinnishRadish, the correct term is half-staff for flags on land. Please see https://www.va.gov/opa/publications/celebrate/halfstaff.pdf. Jurisdicta (talk) 03:14, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

"Magufuli had not been seen in public since"

This verb tense doesn't make sense unless we're reporting from the perspective of a later occurrence, and mentioning the later occurrence (his death) wouldn't be good here. Please change it to "Magufuli's public appearance was". 108.39.223.134 (talk) 12:38, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

You can make this edit yourself. The article is not semi-protected. Instead, it is currently protected under Wikipedia:Pending changes. That means that if you make an edit to the article as an IP, the edit will be saved and eventually reviwed and then either accepted or declined. But you don't need to make a protected edit request here. Nsk92 (talk) 14:36, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

All I see on the article is a "view source" tab, and when I click it, I get a big This page is currently semi-protected so that only established, registered users can edit it. message. 108.39.223.134 (talk) 18:03, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

Hmm, very strange, that's not how Pending Changes protection is supposed to work. There may be something wrong with the protection settings for this specific page. I'll check with the admin who placed the protection. Nsk92 (talk) 21:02, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

I've fixed it so you should be able to edit now, IP user. For more details, see my talk page. ~ ONUnicorn^{(Talk|Contribs)}problem solving 04:50, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

 Not done: The page's protection level has changed since this request was placed. You should now be able to edit the page yourself. If you still seem to be unable to, please reopen the request with further details. ~ Aseleste (t, e | c, l) 11:03, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

death cause change from Covid19 to Chronic atrial fibrillation death_cause=chronic atrial fibrillation ALUTE MUGWAI LISSU (talk) 12:43, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

Note: The Reuters fact check only says that the claim about Magufuli being the only politican worldwide to die from COVID-19 is false. It does not dispute that he died from the pandemic, only noting the Tanzanian gov's claim about him having died of a heart disease. Several other reliable sources have stated that he has probably died of COVID-19. Perhaps the best solution would be to list his death cause as "disputed" in the infobox, and link to the section about his death where the issue is discussed in detail.

There shouldn't be Eurocentric views on a Tanzanian President and Tanzanian issues

Hello editors.

As a Tanzanian I can see the main problem with the Wikipedia page of the late President Dr. John Pombe Joseph Magufuli is that it has a heavy Eurocentric view on certain contentious issues such as his handling of COVID-19 and Human Rights.

Europeans should not be the lead writers and speakers about Afrika. This stems from the deep-seated disdain Europeans have about Afrikans. If you are not Afrikan, and you are reading this, ask yourself when have you ever thought positively about Afrika?

The answer is most likely never.

So why do you think you should be writing about an Afrikan President like Dr. John Pombe Joseph Magufuli?

Nor should European and Western media sources be the main sources about an Afrikan President. We have the media in Tanzania. Western media are always negative about Africa, from the reason that I stated earlier (the European disdain of Afrika and of non-European people in general).

AN EDITING WAR I made edits that correctly portray Magufuli twice, only to be reverted and more vile content getting added first by a German editor and secondly by a Scandinavian editor.

How would the Germany and the Scandinavian like it if I a Tanzanian talked negatively about their state leaders?

COVID-19 Contentious issues are about how Magufuli handled The COVID-19 problem. Many Europeans and people with disdain for African thought have ridiculed Magufuli. But in Tanzania his approach is extremely valued and respected. And most important is has shown great results as Tanzanian have completely conquured the fear of COVID-19, there are no deaths and life is going on as usual. We socialize and crowd in public transportation and in events. These were things that were banned in the Western world, that is striving to push a single narrative about COVID-19.

The warring editors (ie. The German and the Scandinavian) seem to think that medicine is that which has been approved by WHO. They are having a hard time accepting non-WHO medicine that is used in Tanzania and that has brought positive results. This is the core problem of Eurocentric views.

Here is one skeptic German who came to Tanzania when Germany was locked down and beared testimony of how different he found life in Dar es Salaam.

Now why should some editor seating in German or Scandinavia be hell-bent to deny the reality of Tanzania, and get into an editing war with a Tanzanian like me who has lived this reality?

GAY RIGHTS Another issue is the gay agenda. Gay agenda is not an issue in Tanzania, in Afrika and most parts of the world. The warring editors want to make it an issue to tarnish Magufuli with. LGBTQ issue are a Western thing and should stay there. Don't push it down everyone's throat.

THEREFORE.... Tomorrow around 0600 EAT I am going to re-publish the edits that were removed by European editors. I welcome everyone to review the edits from the perspective of a Tanzanian if they can. Because that is the most important perspective for a person who was voted to power by Tanzanians.
