message: There are different GDP PPPs used in the economy section and the bar on the right.  Both seem to be correct but one used the World Bank and the other used the International Monetary Fund.  Should this be changed?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hifear267 (talk • contribs) 17:14, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

message: The figures in the Science and Technology section seem to me to be beyond the scope of this article. They are very appropriate elsewhere (in the noted Main Article of Science and technology in Tanzania).

message: Hello, I disagree with the edits of the user , because they do not match the source that is listed. I requested on their talk page for a new source if they want to change the statistics, but they changed back again after, so I'm writing here so we can discuss it. I appreciate thoughts on the disagreement to find a solution and what should be done next. Thank you! —｜✝️｜they/their｜😹｜T/C｜☮️｜John 15:12｜🍂 04:09, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

message: Understand that Tanzania is many facets on its importance. Human evolution history, classical history, Islamic colonization, World War, Nationalism, Environment... But having very long leading paragraphs actually confuses casual reader. --Kittyhawk2 (talk) 02:00, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Long Leading paragraph 

message: It’s been very long since the GDP both PPP and nominal has been changed and so are it’s per capita income. Do we have any new sources or updated information from the government? Nlivataye (talk) 09:56, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Long? It's updated couple of times a year from IMF quarterly projections, so it's not been a long time at all. The figures are, as far as stats are concerned, up to date. Do you suggest just arbitrarily changing the figures for no apparent reason with no reference like you have over at Gabon, Namibia and Botswana to push some kind of an agenda? Don't vandalize.

message: I think we should have a separate section for health and we should cover the way corona virus is being handled by the current gvt of Magufuli and his minions. Also I think it’s unfair that we don’t mention the many musicians and stars that dominate East African scenery in the greater Swahili Speaking world; people like Diamond, Alikiba, AY, Ray C as well as actors both deceased and alive Nlivataye (talk) 19:54, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

message: " One of the oldest known ethnic groups still existing, the Hadzabe, appears to have originated in Tanzania, and their oral history recalls ancestors who were tall and were the first to use fire, medicine, and lived in caves, much like Homo erectus or Homo heidelbergensis who lived in the same region before them.[citation needed] " - This is not reflected in the body of the article, either.

message: There are more than 100 ethnicities but there are no over 100 languages spoken in Tanzania,the reference and data you used is inaccurate or out of date. Tanzanians make the most population of swahili speakers and almost 99 percent of Tanzanians speak swahili and use it as a first language it's a recognized national language and now it's a de jure official language as it was signed by the President weeks ago.
Tanzania has more than 100 tribes but it's no means of identity,there's much interaction amoung tribes,they live together marry each other speak swahili and slowly tribal languages are fading and are not used or spoken anymore. Swahili is the only language that connect Tanzanians and is spoken as the first language. Warid Great (talk) 10:21, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

message: Greats, I believe Foreign relations section section needs to be redone. I notice there are many paragraphs on relations/events with single countries, all dated (also sourced) during JK's phase. These are no longer the case for relations of today, and phase 6.
Because these things are not the case for today, I do not think they should be included on main page of Tanzania. Maybe in history section of the Foreign Relations article?
Another idea is to not have paragraphs for individual events like these in article that is rarely updated. They have been there for almost 10 years, many outdate also many years. I was looking at country articles that have FA status. In their main article they only have a summery of foreign relations.
Perhaps it would be best if this main page only we also only had summery of the foreign relations, rather than new paragraphs for individual events and each country? Cover important things like EAC, AU and UN with only 1 or 2 small paragraph of bilateral relationships. Avoiding adding events that will be quickly outdated since TZ article is not as often maintained or updated. 
Many well rated country articles do not separate the bilateral/multilateral sections. If TZ had a title-3 level section I think Arusha as HQ of EAC, and seat of AU courts, and UN courts for things like Rwanda. And place for treaties. This I think would be very informative information on article readers will benefit from. Arusha is better for its own section than the outdated bilateral information.
I welcome your thoughts and ideas! I hope to take a look at fixing the section sometime soon. If I do something others think is wrong please let me know! If you have other good ideas for this (or any other) sections please let me know. It would be nice to see the article as informative of current realities as possible, and other non-current information well place in marked history sections. BevoLJ (talk) 07:37, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

message: "making it the most populous country located entirely south of the equator."
In the sense that Indonesia technically extends north of the equatorial line. 
I'm going to remove it. If the OG author reverts it, I will not die on this hill.

message: The usual suspects have suggested that the Arusha Declaration underscores Tanzania's commitment to Pan-Africanism - er, no it doesn't! This kind of historical linkage to the ideological hobby-horse of the 'diaspora' is all throughout African History articles on Wikipedia. Almost like Wikipedia is serving to create the African History some Americans wish it had! There is a singular clause in the Declaration that mentions African Unity however, if you were to take for example the nominal "all people are created equal" clause (or any other) you could make an equally bogus case that the Arusha Declaration underscores a commitment to Christianity (or similar) - which it doesn't. Pan-Africanism is not mentioned in the Arusha Declaration and was known by the founders of Independant Tanzania at the time many of whom would become extremely averse to it. 144.134.56.177 (talk) 13:55, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
