Process initiated to declare Tanzania's founding president a saint
Is Nyerere's process to sainthood timely?
Do you think that Nyerere's Catholicism is worthy of sainthood? Please explain why or why not. Many thanks. Diamantina 12:28, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: St. Julius Nyerere?

message: I removed: "Unfortunately, many believe that his socialist policies were directly responsible for the Hutu uprisings against the Tutsi in Rwanda and Burundi and played the major role in the ongoing sectarian genocides in that region."  This had already been marked as "citation needed" for a while before I got to it, and is pretty inflammatory, so I removed it (especially since I had never heard this before, and given that Nyerere did not rule over either Rwanda or Burundi, the statement isn't immediately self-evident).  If someone has a source for this, it would make for a very interesting addition to the article, though.  Nicolasdz 09:44, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Removed Unsourced Statement

message: How can one claim that Nyerere was "the first Tanzanian to study at a British university", when Tanzania did not exist at this time? Perhaps he was the first Tanganyikan? Either way, can someone please provide a source, because as it stands now, the claim is highly irrational. --webkid (talk) 05:28, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: There is certainly a lot that could be added to his economic policies. History of Tanzania appears to have a lot of the opposite viewpoint. Perhaps you can use some information from there to fix up this ? This is not an invitation to trash Nyerere, but I agree it could use some balance. Wizzy…☎ 19:18, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Does this article meet the standards of wikipedia?

message: I think this article needs a re-rating. It is an important person for Tanzania and deserves to reach GA status. Would appreciate any advice by anyone to help attain that status. Sputink (talk) 23:45, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

message: 'the Swahili word for socialism comes from the word Jamaa — which literally means "familyhood" and the "extended family"'
I am not good enough in Kiswahili or Arabic to be certain, but I suspect that Kiswahili "jamaa" comes from Arabic jamea (جمع) meaning collection, collecting, gathering, combination. Maybe somebody familiar with the etymology of Kiswahili can check this. Mregelsberger (talk) 10:27, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

message: Couple of observations about the images in the article.  Given what is available on Commons alone, the absence of images related to Nyerere's Third Worldism and Pan-Africanism appears to be a notable absence.  At present we have five photos from three visits to the Netherlands (including the somewhat unflattering image in the infobox), two photos with US Presidents, five images of buildings, every image of Nyerere meeting with people is with people from the First World.  I'd suggest the images with Zhou Enlai and Hastings Banda be included.  There's also a few images from the NAM meetings which might be public domain which I will post here if they are.

replies: text: That is too soon for a Servant of God; there wouldn't be anything concrete to add to such an infobox. No public veneration is permitted; the infobox has no parameters for milestones prior to beatification. Elizium23 (talk) 13:24, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

message: I see many leaders with Nyerere's stature have an Awards and Honors section, however, I did not see it nor I could not find any separate list. 
I think due to the size of the article, it probably makes sense to make a separate article.
Wanted to make sure there was no particular reason for this omission before I made a separate article. Sputink (talk) 15:12, 25 December 2022 (UTC)
