[edit] NPOV comments regarding Nazi move

I removed an editorial comment that the Nazi depiction of British atrocities against the Boer people was "most vicious". I really don't see how a movie that depicts accurate history, that of British brutality against the Boer people, can be "most vicious". Perhaps if the British had shown more restraint in their colonial dealings they would not be almost universally hated around the world.

The British created their own international reputation, let's leave the editorializing out of it. Germany made a propaganda movie, enough said.

[edit] other crap

Er, Does anyone agree that this page should have been moved from Paul Kruger to its current location at Stephanus Johannes Paulus Kruger? If not, let's move it back. Zaian 00:42, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

I've moved it back. (Incidentally the user who moved it has been blocked indefinitely from editing.) --Saforrest 04:49, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tshwane

Tshwane is a post 1994 neologism. As an area it did not exist until recently.

[edit] Place of Birth

There appears to be confusion about Paul Krugers place of birth. This article states Cradock (Eastern Cape) whereas other sources state Colesburg (Northern Cape). Dglschapman 15:35, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Flat Earth

According to Flat Earth Kruger belived the earth was flat. Maybe should be mentioned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Reko (talk • contribs) 18:50, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
