A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on January 13, 2005 and January 13, 2006.

An event in this article is a January 13 selected anniversary

Saturday 5 February 2005, 20.35: Dictator Eyadema is just dead this morning. A country is free of 38 years of tyranny, but is afraid of its uncertain future. L, Belgium

I gave the article a bit of hasty revising, correcting and expanding due to the fact that many people are doubtless going to look here for information, and are probably doing so already. But I must confess my knowledge about Eyadema is insufficient to do much more than that. Anybody who can do better than me, please give it a try. Everyking 21:45, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Also perhaps someone would know enough to modify the first bit of the Politics of Togo article. -- KittySaturn 07:13, 2005 Feb 6 (UTC)

"He fathered one hundred children with seven women." That doesn't seem like it could be right. That would require each woman to have about 14 kids by him, right? I'm guessing there's either fewer kids or more women. Everyking 15:04, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

References

How come this article is using itself as a reference and is rated B class?--Natsubee 14:57, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, this needs to be taken down a notch (or several) on the scale. Even after I did a fair amount of cleanup on it (such as removing the appalling self-references), it's still a mess. Everyking 04:11, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like the rating was done before an anon did a very poor rewrite on June 14, in which he or she deleted whole paragraphs of good info and replaced them with poorly written POV paragraphs filled with weirdly formatted referencing, including the bizarre self-references. There were a couple of good elements added in that rewrite, though, such as info about his funeral, so in cleaning it up I tried to merge the best of the old and new versions together.

The article gives his year of birth variously as 1935 and 1937.217.43.173.146 (talk) 20:48, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Neutrality and Weasel Words

I noticed that a lot of the first paragraph consists of badly-worded statements, all of them quite vague. There is thinly-veiled pro-Eyadéma content in there, and I'd like to keep this neutral. For example, the bad speculation bit about France being behind the killings (that I keep in only because I have no knowledge about Eyadéma myself, and don't want to cut something important) seems awfully suspicious. Could we get someone who knows about Eyadéma to come in and clean this article up, please? --24.22.240.16 (talk) 07:27, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
