Don't trust the Find a Grave website article which claims Robert Mugabe was buried here

Zimbabawe government plans, which may or may not have have been the basis for this erroneous Find a Grave article,[1] were later altered.[2] The former Zimbabwe leader would instead be buried in his Kutama home.[3]Speakfor23 (talk) 18:27, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is good that Wikipedia has the Template:Find a Grave article which notes why Find a Grave can be an unreliable source.Speakfor23 (talk) 18:44, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Concerns about apostrophe added to name/title

While "National Heroes' Acre" does make sense grammatically, it doesn't appear to be the spelling/grammar used in most actual Zimbabwean sources, e.g. [4] from a paper of record, [5] from another news outlet, and [6] from the Ministry of Information, Publicity, and Broadcasting Services. Also, the apostrophe-less name does make grammatical sense too — for example, the D.C. memorial designed by Maya Lin is the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, not the "Vietnam Veterans' Memorial" (although that phrase redirects to the same page). Not going to start a move discussion at the moment but this merits some thought. SunTunnels (talk) 20:03, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
