There was an edit on July 16, 2019, wherein the public image section was amended, and a fraction of a paragraph was moved. The LGBT Abuses section on the current version of this page shows what’s left of this paragraph, which does not pertain to LGBT issues. As a novice Wikipedia editor, I’m unsure of the best way to remedy the error. Can we please get a more experienced member to correct it?

Hello editors. As a Tanzanian I can see the main problem with the Wikipedia page of the late President Dr. John Pombe Joseph Magufuli is that it has a heavy Eurocentric view on certain contentious issues such as his handling of COVID-19 and Human Rights. Europeans should not be the lead writers and speakers about Afrika. This stems from the deep-seated disdain Europeans have about Afrikans. If you are not Afrikan, and you are reading this, ask yourself when have you ever thought positively about Afrika? The answer is most likely never. So why do you think you should be writing about an Afrikan President like Dr. John Pombe Joseph Magufuli? Nor should European and Western media sources be the main sources about an Afrikan President. We have the media in Tanzania. Western media are always negative about Africa, from the reason that I stated earlier (the European disdain of Afrika and of non-European people in general). AN EDITING WAR I made edits that correctly portray Magufuli twice, only to be reverted and more vile content getting added first by a German editor and secondly by a Scandinavian editor. How would the Germany and the Scandinavian like it if I a Tanzanian talked negatively about their state leaders? COVID-19 Contentious issues are about how Magufuli handled The COVID-19 problem. Many Europeans and people with disdain for African thought have ridiculed Magufuli. But in Tanzania his approach is extremely valued and respected. And most important is has shown great results as Tanzanian have completely conquured the fear of COVID-19, there are no deaths and life is going on as usual. We socialize and crowd in public transportation and in events. These were things that were banned in the Western world, that is striving to push a single narrative about COVID-19. The warring editors (ie. The German and the Scandinavian) seem to think that medicine is that which has been approved by WHO. They are having a hard time accepting non-WHO medicine that is used in Tanzania and that has brought positive results. This is the core problem of Eurocentric views. Here is one skeptic German who came to Tanzania when Germany was locked down and beared testimony of how different he found life in Dar es Salaam. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuRIv1HTzwA Now why should some editor seating in German or Scandinavia be hell-bent to deny the reality of Tanzania, and get into an editing war with a Tanzanian like me who has lived this reality? GAY RIGHTS Another issue is the gay agenda. Gay agenda is not an issue in Tanzania, in Afrika and most parts of the world. The warring editors want to make it an issue to tarnish Magufuli with. LGBTQ issue are a Western thing and should stay there. Don't push it down everyone's throat. THEREFORE.... Tomorrow around 0600 EAT I am going to re-publish the edits that were removed by European editors. I welcome everyone to review the edits from the perspective of a Tanzanian if they can. Because that is the most important perspective for a person who was voted to power by Tanzanians. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AfrikaMoja ( talk • contribs) 04:44, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
AfrikaMoja's responce to comments above: Bellowhead678 Unfortunately the editor who reverted my edits is not here on this discussion, for I provided sources. I didn't write just my opinion. Plus the most important thing is I am a Tanzanian. I can stress that enough because I have met with many Westerners and they have no idea about Afrika. All they know about Afrika is the wildlife. For instance the link your provided above and claimed it was written by a Tanzanian it is not. As a Tanzania I just looked at the name of the author and I knew he wasn't Tanzanian. He is South African. Now you shouldn't be arguing with me, because with such insights comes a great deal of depth which you non-Tanzanians out there can not get or understand just by googling and by relying on biased viewpoints in Western media. Also remember Tanzania is a Swahili nation. Dr. Magufuli was making speeches on almost a daily basis, and they are all in Kiswahili. What hope does a Westerner who doesn't understand Kiswahili have of understanding Magufuli? The answer is close to zero. As for LGBT issue [attacks redacted] So anyone who doesn't understand Kiswahili, the politics of Tanzania (including our political ideology), the history of Tanzania, the socio-economical dynamics of Tanzania, etc has no business writing about Tanzania, unless his agenda is to mislead people about Tanzania. As for the COVID-19 issues look at the proof in the pudding. Who is dying of COVID-19 between Tanzanians and Westerners? Who was locked down in the houses scared in 2020 (and some even now) between Tanzanians and Westerners? You may not understand Magufuli's approach, and you may not agree with it (mainly because of the perceived Western superiority complex) but look the results. The results speak for themselves. Tanzanians are OK, Westerners are shit-scared, died in large numbers and they had lots of hospitalizations. Youtube? You have a problem with Youtube? Why would you consider Youtube as not a serious source? You can't just brush aside Youtube. You have to review it on a video-by-video basis. Youtube in Tanzania is regulated. You need a licence to run a Youtube channel in Tanzania, otherwise you get fined heftly and/or imprisoned. This was done to curb stupidity. As unregulated people with a phone camera can spew a lot of stupidity on Youtube and mislead a country. All of Magufuli's speech are on Youtube, so this is another case of "Not understanding Tanzania". May be Youtube is for cat videos and bedroom broadcasters in The West, but in Tanzania there's a lot of serious journalism on Youtube. Here are some examples of serious journalism on Youtube: (1) Global TV Online is a registered media house in Tanzania. They run print newspapers too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuRIv1HTzwA (2) VoA you know it. This VoA guy was a skeptic like many Westerners. Had to come from Nairobi to see for himself how well Tanzania was doing without lockdowns at a time when his home country of Italy was dying left and right like diseased chicken in a hen house. In this video he admits that he even went clubbing in Dar es Salaam at the time when the whole Western world was locked down. You can see how his head is spinning to narrate the reality he saw in Dar es Salaam to fit the narrative that the US propaganda mouthpiece called VoA wants to push. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLOzsbypSs4 (3) And these two are probably your typical Western vloggers who make you think that Youtube is not a serious source. (a) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcdeoJ824C0 (b) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tmx6jLN8F34 WHY YOUTUBE? Because videos can show you better on how life was going on in Tanzania under Magufuli. I will let you scratch your head as to why the whole city of Dar es Salaam didn't die or get hospitalized because in The West you were told if you go out of your houses you will all die. Bottomline is there's no single story to COVID-19. So the section that claims Magufuli spread misinformation about COVID-19 in laughable to the majority of Tanzanians who never saw the COVID-19 problem, and is misleading about Magufuli and Tanzania, and is a POV (Point of View) of a biased Westerner who thinks the Western experience of COVID-19 is the same throughout the world. It needs to be purged completely from Magufuli's profile, as it has no place in that profile. Same goes for the LGBTQ issues. Needs to get purged, and has no place in Tanzania or in Magufuli's profile. -- AfrikaMoja ( talk) 21:34, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
Cordless Larry If it's TLDR why are you responding? We are discussing the profile of a president of a sovereign state here, and you admit that you're not a reader? The author you gave is South African, not Tanzania. So you are proving my point that you are writing on a subject that you are not competent on. There's no POV here other than the The Western agendas that the current version is trying to blame Magufuli with. Magufuli was a Tanzanian president, elected by the Tanzanian people. If you are not a Tanzanian why would you bother with Magufuli? -- AfrikaMoja ( talk) 22:01, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
Bonadea As I said Magufuli gave speeches in Kiswahili on a daily basis. So if you don't know that, and you don't know Kiswahili you may think those issues are well-sourced. But you'll see they are sourced only from The Western media, which is a Eurocentric viewpoint about Tanzania (a nation of non-Europeans). I will edit the article and you'll see the appropriate sourcing that truly represent what Dr. Magufuli was all about. As for "internationality of Wikipedia" I think the most important thing is truth. You don't want Wikipedia to come off as a slander website, or a biased website, do you? -- AfrikaMoja ( talk) 22:01, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
@ 331dot: About "independent reliable sources" what counts as an independent reliable source on Wikipedia? My edits were removed despite citing reliable sources from Tanzania. Plus as I have said Tanzania is a Swahili nation, and Magufuli spoke in Kiswahili exclusively. So how would Wikipedia bridge that gap without me personally describing what he says in a certain speech (videos of which are full on Youtube)? What has been cited in the current version is very little and not representative of all of what Magufuli's message was all about. And that is due to people who are writing about Magufuli but do not know Kiswahili, thus can't take his own words. AfrikaMoja ( talk) 01:13, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
@ Cordless Larry: That is not true at all. It's another Eurocentric trick to remove any control of anything in Afrika. If you remove Tanzanian sources, then what sources are you going to use? Non-Tanzanian sources? The BBC? Are you out of your mind? AfrikaMoja ( talk) 20:47, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

While I disagree with his methods, I will agree with AfrikaMoja that the section on Magufuli's handling of the COVID-19 crisis may reflect external opinions more than the opinions of local Tanzanians.
I propose a rewrite the last paragraph of the lede as follows
Magufuli was known for promoting misinformation about COVID-19 during his leadership over the pandemic in Tanzania.
Contrary to leaders elsewhere in the world, Magufuli resisted calls to implement nationwide lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic in Tanzania. [2] He also expressed distrust of American- and European-developed vaccines, [3] preferring to rely on faith to protect his nation. [4]

I believe this change removes the value-laden language from the paragraph and lets the facts speak for themselves. WikiDan61 ChatMe! ReadMe!! 21:02, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

And that is due to people who are writing about Magufuli but do not know Kiswahili, thus can't take his own words. AfrikaMoja ( talk) 01:13, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
@ Cordless Larry: That is not true at all. It's another Eurocentric trick to remove any control of anything in Afrika. If you remove Tanzanian sources, then what sources are you going to use? Non-Tanzanian sources? The BBC? Are you out of your mind? AfrikaMoja ( talk) 20:47, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

While I disagree with his methods, I will agree with AfrikaMoja that the section on Magufuli's handling of the COVID-19 crisis may reflect external opinions more than the opinions of local Tanzanians.
I propose a rewrite the last paragraph of the lede as follows
Magufuli was known for promoting misinformation about COVID-19 during his leadership over the pandemic in Tanzania.
Contrary to leaders elsewhere in the world, Magufuli resisted calls to implement nationwide lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic in Tanzania. [2] He also expressed distrust of American- and European-developed vaccines, [3] preferring to rely on faith to protect his nation. [4]

I believe this change removes the value-laden language from the paragraph and lets the facts speak for themselves. WikiDan61 ChatMe! ReadMe!! 21:02, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
Magufuli's approach has been characterised as COVID denialism? Lots of sources use that wording. Cordless Larry ( talk) 07:27, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
