He has described himself as a 'German-American' which is the basis of my text. Read his page.
The USA had 50 million people in poverty, the most business failures and the most hated country in the world. Why are these points not referenced in it's front page.
Nonsense. Your input is hostile biased and emphatically non-relevant to a general introduction to a country. It has non basis to appear in the front page.
Your editing of the page will result in re-editing by myself. You are wasting your time in this page.
These examples of actions are clear examples of race based hostility towards Africa. Again by European origin peoples.
In none of their own country texts is anything negative ever referenced. Go check out every country in Europe they are painted as perfect when they have nothing in their bank account.

The article states in the introductory paragraphs that South African people that settled the area were fleeing the aggression of Shaka Zulu in the 12th century, this makes little sense as Shaka wasn't born until the 18th century. However, I don't have much experience with the history of the region, so I don't feel qualified to rewrite the section.

The final paragraph of the article had referred to golfer Madalitso Muthiya as the first "African American African" to play in the US Open. This phrasing is, at best, ambiguous, and most likely incorrect. Being an American, I have noticed that sometimes Americans have a hard time using the word "black" when describing a person's race, and will incorrectly substitute "African American," regardless of the person's country of origin. Obviously, Muthiya was born in Zambia. If he were to have obtained naturalized citizenship in the United States he might be described as "African American African," but I find no evidence for this to be the case. I have changed the phrasing in the article. I am only writing here because I have essentially no knowledge on this subject and am basing the edit on a brief Internet search, as well as the reference to Muthiya in his own Wikipedia article as being the first black African to play in the US Open. If my edit is in error, I apologize. El piel ( talk) 18:30, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

The page Zambian is not a proper disambiguation page, but a list of Zambia-related topics that should all be linked from this page anyway. It should be redirected here. – Fayenatic L ondon 23:59, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
If you've been observing the evolution of Zambian music carefully then you would most likely agree with me that it has not been easy for our musical artists to breakthrough. Even those who manage to breakthrough still don't reach a certain level of success. Let's take a look at Oliver Mtukudzi for example, he's from our neighbor Zimbabwe, but has managed to reach a level so high that he is a household name in almost every English-speaking and every African country. So my point is that Zambian Musicians are just too self centred and as long as the self centeredness continues, Zambian music will never breakthrough as a whole. It's like everyone just wants to get heard even if what they have produced isn't the best in the country. I was in Mansa one time and heard a song called "Tuli Kuno" by a young group of artists called The "Saharan Swag". It was a really nice song that had potential to go viral in almost every African country. I thought of getting in touch with their former manager and I was told that the group split and every former member was now working solo. That was in 2014 and up to the time I was writing this article the Saharan Swag and it's former members have never done any song as good as the ones they did while working together. For the big cats like Zone FAM and Black Muntu their stories are both obvious. The saying "United we stand, decided we fall" has to be considered by every Zambian Musician and Stakeholders if Zambian music is to have a meaningful and long-lasting breakthrough.
