Original research, promotional language

I have removed a considerable amount of

reliable sources. It is also important that the wording not appear promotional in any way; words such as "beautiful", "famous", and "luxury" generally should be avoided. I've removed several instances of those. If any other experienced editors are watching this article, I'd really appreciate some help, both with further clean-up and with patrolling newly added content.

Quality of Images

I noticed a lot of poor quality, grainy, highly edited, and unnecessary images were added to this article. I cleared it up. I would suggest adding this high quality image to the article Dar es Salaam before dusk.jpg. For new users: Before adding images, make sure it is of high quality and adds value to the article.

'Foreigners'

The article refers to 'foreigners' to Dar es salaam.

Puzzled:

1) The founder of Dar es salaam was a Zanzabari of Arab/Caucasian stock.
2) It was settled and built thereafter by the Germans.
3) ... and then the British.
4) ... and then the National Government of the amalgamated Tanganyika and Zanzibar.
5) ... today, many buildings in Dar es Salaam are financed and owned by outside entities. 

Seems the city has fairly diverse origins! Who are the foreigners referred to? For most of recorded East African History this statement would typically be ascribed to a Waswahili referring to the Zanj (not a pretty connotation)!

Can you please remove the xenophobic language from the article. 2001:8003:70F5:2400:4DEF:7FBC:1D3:4A91 (talk) 09:37, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
