I could not find the full names of "JCG Kemp" and "Bezuidenhout", perhapse someone else with references can fill them in -- PBS 18:52, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Article reassessed and graded as start class. -- dashiellx ( talk) 14:35, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Is the title of this article correct? It seems academic literature (Giliomee, The Afrikaners)and some newspaper articles refers to the 1914 Rebellion and not the Maritz rebelion. I stumbled on this when looking for the 1914 Rebellion and would not have thought to have looked for it here. Any opinions? ShiningWolf ( talk) 06:15, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
Currently the article has the old ZAR flag reflected as the rebel banner, but the rebellion had it's own banner, a combination of the flags, some literature describes it somewhat similar to the Union flag. The ZAR flag should thus be removed and replaced with the correct banner? Zarpboer ( talk) 08:57, 21 September 2014 (UTC) From the court record, of the rebellion trials (after the rebellion failed) : "Otherwise we will go to Pretoria and see the Government, and if they will not heed our protest, then we will hoist the Republican flag." He pointed to a cart standing near, where lay the colours of the defunct Orange Free State." Zarpboer ( talk) 09:14, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
@ Lathamibird dude, please could you do your magic with the appearances in newspapers, etc. - seeing as you did such a cool and stirling job with Transvaal? and then could you also do the edit, etc. Should this be The South African Rebellion, The Boer Revolt, Maritz Rebellion (for which I am finding far fewer citations), or any other names? Please :) Zarpboer ( talk) 06:31, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
Should the name of this rebellion be "The South African Rebellion" or "The Maritz Rebellion" is this a German vs Britain war or the Union or what? Zarpboer ( talk) 10:12, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
Closed as per above, I read WP:AT and even after lots of research I have no opinion or idea whether a title change is in order - So, gonna just leave it as it is until another more worthy editor decides or has an issue... it seems that this was indeed more commonly called "the 1914 rebellion" but is is also known by the other names.. so, it should be fine? - and Germany must still be added as a party to the infobox, sometime... anyway, thanks! :) Zarpboer ( talk) 10:52, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
@ Zarpboer I notice you commented in the edit history of this article " removed south africa - there was no country called south africa in 1914" There is no such state as the "United States" or the "United Kingdom" but they are common coin to describe those states. In the same was "South Africa" is the common name of the Union of South Africa-- just as today the South Africa is the common name Republic of South Africa. There is no reason at all not use South Africa in this article to mean Union of South Africa, particularly when most general readers will not know what "The Union" means. Also in the specific edit which I have included here South Africa is being used as a geographic entity, and is similar in nature to Ireland (which can mean either the island of Ireland or the state). After the union of South Africa, South Africa was used both to describe the state and for the country/territory of the state. Ie if one visited South Africa -- just like today--it did not mean a trip to Pretoria and a meeting with a government official. -- PBS ( talk) 14:36, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
The recent rewrite of this entire page by user:Zarpboer is extremely biases against the rebels and contains questionable remarks regarding them. Wikipedia is supposed to be of a neutral encyclopedic nature, the article in its current form does not reflect those principals. XavierGreen ( talk) 20:14, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
