Talk:Gnassingbé Eyadéma
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An event in this article is a January 13 selected anniversary
Saturday 5 February 2005, 20.35: Dictator Eyadema is just dead this morning. A country is free of 38 years of tyranny, but is afraid of its uncertain future. L, Belgium
I gave the article a bit of hasty revising, correcting and expanding due to the fact that many people are doubtless going to look here for information, and are probably doing so already. But I must confess my knowledge about Eyadema is insufficient to do much more than that. Anybody who can do better than me, please give it a try. Everyking 21:45, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Also perhaps someone would know enough to modify the first bit of the Politics of Togo article. -- KittySaturn 07:13, 2005 Feb 6 (UTC)
"He fathered one hundred children with seven women." That doesn't seem like it could be right. That would require each woman to have about 14 kids by him, right? I'm guessing there's either fewer kids or more women. Everyking 15:04, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
[edit] References
How come this article is using itself as a reference and is rated B class?--Natsubee 14:57, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
- I agree, this needs to be taken down a notch (or several) on the scale. Even after I did a fair amount of cleanup on it (such as removing the appalling self-references), it's still a mess. Everyking 04:11, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
- Looks like the rating was done before an anon did a very poor rewrite on June 14, in which he or she deleted whole paragraphs of good info and replaced them with poorly written POV paragraphs filled with weirdly formatted referencing, including the bizarre self-references. There were a couple of good elements added in that rewrite, though, such as info about his funeral, so in cleaning it up I tried to merge the best of the old and new versions together.
