Comments

Might be considered picky, but would prefer "(renamed Zimbabwe in...)" to "today's Zimbabwe"
"Cecil Rhodes's " vs "Rhodes' Day". Would like a consistent approach to s's or s'...
"along traditional British lines, along " along along...
"Patrol's being " is there a need for that apostrophe? I'm not sure...

Comments –

"and their raising there of the Union Jack." This is a touch repetitive and odd to look at. Any chance of getting rid of "their" or "there"? Same goes for the table note.
"as the internationally-unrecognized state of Zimbabwe Rhodesia. Zimbabwe Rhodesia...". Try to avoid this repetition from one sentence to the other.
"after the country's internationally-recognized independence in April 1980, now called Zimbabwe." The independence was called that, or the country? The prose implies the former, which I don't believe is the intention.
Add a period at the end of the Boxing Day note? Giants2008 (Talk) 03:47, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, all done. Thanks! —Cliftonian (talk) 05:11, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment

The use of "whites" doesn't sound right to me, think white people would be better
I would split the first sentence, as it is quite long, at the "short history" point

I don't think most would have a problem with "whites", but okay. I've split the first sentence too. Thanks! —Cliftonian (talk) 06:00, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
