I have incorporated a table, consistent with that used for the biographies of United States Presidents; I intend to do the same eventually for all of Fiji's political leaders. I have been reading his autobiography, and have accordingly corrected some of the errors I made earlier, as follows.
The article said that he was a Rhodes Scholar. However I haven't been able to find any other source that confirms this. Although he did go to Oxford University I don't think it was as a Rhodes Scholar. Fiji does not seem to be awarded Rhodes Scholarships, so if he did receive one then it must have been from another country. He did study at an NZ university but he does not appear on the list of NZ Rhodes scholars. So I have removed the claim from the article. -- Popsracer 06:42, 19 Apr 2004 (UTC)
I have deleted the word "sadly," which was added to the following sentence by an anonymous contributor: He sadly died in Suva on 18 April 2004, from complications arising from his 2001 stroke. Expression of personal feelings about the man is POV. I'll be upfront and say that I personally agree with this POV - Ratu Mara is and will always be a great hero of mine - that's why I wrote this article in the first place. But Wikipedia policy requires, rightly in my opinion, all articles to be written from a neutral point of view. Therefore, even though I agree with the POV expressed by our anonymous user, I cannot allow it to remain. I'm sorry - and if you're reading this, by the way, I would like to welcome you to Wikipedia and invite you to take part in building this valuable internet resource.
