The article seems curiously lopsided. For instance, the 'Imperial involvement' section seems far longer than is merited. The section on Canada alone - which let's face it was of pretty marginal importance by any standards - is as long on that on Concentration Camps, which seems bizarre to say the least. I suppose that this sort of thing often occurs in Wikipedia articles: someone with specific interests comes along and thinks a particular aspect of an article deserves more attention. Then, unless there is an overall editor, that greatly inflated contribution will stay there however insignificant it is compared to other important aspects. So would someone like to do some serious and drastic editing? BobBadg (talk) 18:10, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
For some curious reason, Canada's involvement is always hugely well documented and even exaggerated in articles such as this, so I assume it's the same single editor doing it.
The article is biased in general though and badly needs attention. Casualties are hugely lopsided because British wounded are included but Boer are not, etc. if those figures aren't known that's one thing, but as it stands it's very misleading. 2A00:23C5:CE1C:DB01:F7AD:9BF0:3E1B:9971 (talk) 01:30, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The name Boer War is archaic. It has been known as the South African War (1899-1902) for quite some time, because more diverse groups were involved in the conflict. This really should be corrected 41.150.250.78 (talk) 17:51, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi,GNU is for the best of whom ? and who ? and who's the problem and why it must be governable by wiser mindsets to move south africa foward , not for those want or need civil war to repeat with its decreases.Amooketsi are you care or you don't care?. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.114.245.188 (talk) 14:01, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I can't change links but the link to "Field Commander" in the war crimes tab is linked to the video game "Field Commander" instead of the rank or the position of field commander. 193.180.104.91 (talk) 07:49, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
