thread_title: Start of hostilities

message: I want someone to cite credible sources for RENAMO's alleged widespread use of child soldiers, a concerted campaign against civilians, and a more balanced view of FRELIMO's own misdeeds. The section on RENAMO seems biased and whitewashes FRELIMO.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.111.29.1 (talk) 21:59, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree it is biased in favor of Frelimo and against Renamo. The citations are actually a mess and unclear. On purpose? --105.14.232.49 (talk) 02:54, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Renamo attrocities 

message: I expanded the article and added some sources. However, there are still some sections which need better sourcing in my opinion. The information about the PCN stems from the article about Uria Simango. Unfortunately this article does not contain detailed sources. I will add the sources about the Rhodesian operations in Mozambique soon, just need to read some of the stuff provided in the Rhodesian Bush War article. By the way, simply "recycled" the maps from that article, because they seemed fitting. I hope this is ok with guidelines, I could not find anything about it.
The section about the Angolan Civil War seemed to me mainstreamy enough to not being in need of addtional sourcing but the corresponding sources can surely be found in the article about the Angolan Civil War.
What else...
Terminology: I used the terms "black"/"white" in the section about the Apartheid related conflicts. As I don't know which terminology is typically used in the African context, this seemed easiest to me, as "Native-Africans" is e.g. a term that applies for many whites in Africa too, especially for the Boers who have been araound for some 400 years. So things would get complicated here and I actually could not be bothered to use something like "Africans-of-European-Descent" (which strictly speaking still wouldn't be correct, since most Boers have some black ancestors).
I think the "black/white" terminology is justified here, as this terminology surely describes best, how the conflict was perceived by the actors themselves (hence i.e. "Black Consciousness"). However, if there is a convention on terminology here that I am not aware of, please just change it.
And could please someone correct the article in terms of grammar and spelling? I try to do my best, but am not a native speaker, so there are surely errors.
Kindly,
Max Rapp

thread_title:  Expansion of the article 

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Mozambican Civil War's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "allafrica":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 21:11, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

message: Dear Arramall, are you aware that you edits are giving a strong Frelimo party point of view to an article that was supposed to be encyclopedically as neutral as possible? You even use the word "bandits" to describe Renamo fighters, something that even the current government of Mozambique does not do. Wikipedia should not be another department of the Party, or Notícias, TVM, etc. Teixant (talk) 19:57, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that perhaps the term "armed bandits" to refer to the MNR isn't too neutral and I will refrain from using it when referring to the MNR/RENAMO. I believe the rest of my additions/edits are neutral and should remain, particularly the parts regarding the destabilising efforts against FRELIMO by Rhodesia and the apartheid regime in South Africa, as modern academic consensus is that this was a war of destabilisation against FRELIMO and Mozambique.  Arramall (talk) 09:26, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Your revision was also riddled with dubious, subjective opinion fluff (the uncited assertion that RSA and Rhodesia were actively attempting to sabotage FRELIMO's domestic socialist goals rather than simply retaliating for the latter's support for ZANLA and MK; plus the equally uncitable assertion that FRELIMO was demanding "true independence" instead of a unilateral assumption of power). The blatantly partisan slant of that previous revision was appalling. I oppose any attempt to downplay or hide RENAMO's atrocities and the injustices that movement committed, but I likewise oppose this attempt to whitewash the facts in the interest of FRELIMO apologetics. --Katangais (talk) 01:15, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
