[edit] Peacock Terms

Parts of this article read more like a hagiography than an objective biography.

I've reworded everything I regarded to be peacock terms. Did I miss any? Sf46 (talk) 00:35, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Sally Mugabe.jpg

Image:Sally Mugabe.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 22:37, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] First Lady in 1980?

I notice that the article says she became First Lady in 1980. While Canaan Banana's presidency was largely ceremonial and Mugabe did run the country, I believe that technically Banana's wife would have been considered First Lady at that time. Hayfron would have become First Lady in 1987 when her husband officially took over as president. If that is not the case, this assertion will need some justification from a source.--Gloriamarie 18:16, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Amai

The term is common knowledge for any Zimbabwean. I do not see how this can need citation. Mangwanani (talk) 18:45, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

May well be, but Wikipedia is a a global project. --Counter-revolutionary (talk) 18:51, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

I never said it wasn't. There is no point citing general knowledge fact, otherwise every single sentence on Wikipedia would require a citation, which, in my view, is ridiculous. Mangwanani (talk) 18:55, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

But it's not general knowledge for people who don't live in Zimbabwe. It's an important claim as it asserts she was popular. --Counter-revolutionary (talk) 19:02, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Well she was but if you really do need the citation for luck, it is mentioned several times on the Zimbabwe First Day Covers with her on and here and here and here (which says "Sally was incredibly popular") aand here. Fact enough yet? Mangwanani (talk) 19:29, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
