"Ovimbundu are believed to be the most educated and qualified Angolans despite being oppressed by the MPLA Creolo government under Jose Eduardo dos Santos. This is the reason behind the long Angolan Civil war"
...clearly does not follow the neutrality guidelines. Several issues here - no citation for the Ovimbundu being "the most educated and qualified Angolans"; very dubious that the MPLA government is "Creolo"; highly disputable that "This is the reason behind the long Angolan Civil war".
Not being an expert, I am not changing the article, but someone who is an expert should do some cleanup. 62.28.11.28 ( talk) 10:14, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

The Southern Mbundu, now generally called Ovimbundu Hmm... Why the article's name then is not "Ovimbundu"? 82.141.65.207 ( talk) 18:48, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

Southern Mbundu people → Ovimbundu – The Southern Mbundu people are now generally called Ovimbundu. When the term "Mbundu" is used for people it is generally about the Ambundu (the northern Mbundu people). Calling these people "Ovimbundu" rather than "Southern Mbundu" is slightly less confusing and is closer to what they call themselves. Their language is generally known as "Umbundu" (language code umb) rather than "South Mbundu language". Article titles should based upon those terms which reliable English-language sources use to refer to the article's subject. See Wikipedia:Article titles#Deciding on an article title. After the move "Southern Mbundu people" will still be available to readers as a redirect. -- Bejnar ( talk) 13:53, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
