message: Is Gusmao of ethnic Portuguese descent? Just curious...--fredericknoronha 21:35, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Xanana Gusmao is a Mestiço which is a hybrid of Portugese and Malay/Papuan.  But he is a Timorese. 68.144.126.226 23:24, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: No, he is not a mestiço, much less of ethnic Portuguese descent. Unfortunately, the clowns responsible for the Prime Minister's website have just copied and pasted the Wikipedia article without checking the facts. Quiensabe (talk) 10:27, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  He is a Mestiço 

message: I didn't notice that it mentioned when or how his name was changed. For the record, Xanana contributed to local (Dili?) newspapers. In his words, "There was this popular song at the time that went 'sha na na na'." He chose this as his penname, but changed the spelling from Shanana to Xanana (Don't quote me but that might have been because of Portugese spelling of 'sh'). Someone must have recognized his writing, because one day when he was walking someone behind him called, "Hey, Shanana!" and he turned around. After that the name simply stuck. I am unsure exactly when he began using it officially. Wyrmfire 03:23, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name Change 

message: currently says "he was appointed with a defence lawyers".  I would be bold and change it if I knew what it should be-   (a) defence lawyer(s) were appointed for him?
He appointed his own defence lawyers?

message: Gusmao is categorized as a survivor of an assassination attempt, but it says nothing in the article. Is it true or should the category be removed? Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:31, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Check 2008 East Timorese assassination attempts. --J. Patrick Fischer (talk) 20:54, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
