[edit] Neutrality

When I looked at this article, there was an ad hom. attack in the introduction. I took that out. I think that most of the rest of the article is fairly well balanced but probably not balanced. If someone who isn't revising for exams would like to go through and debug it before taking neutrality away, 'twould be great. Padsley (talk) 17:07, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

I agree that there were many weasel words scattered throughout the artice. I tried to remove as many as I could,but more effort is necessary to add information that doesn't criticise Gono and offers a balance to the article. I found this article through pressing "Random," so I have no information to add on my own. I might be willing to do the research, but I would like to know if there are any editors out there with experience on the topic. Mrathel (talk) 15:24, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

I like and respect your advocacy for neutrality. But, say...."Gono, with the patronage of Mugabe, has stolen money from the RBZ" this is not bias but fact. I had a hand in writing this article. Facts can sometimes seem like we are attacking Gono. No. we are just laying out the truth as is. Samwise Gamgee 18:37, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
