• 16pxTemplate:Ping the hook uses the word "Rhodesia" three times. Could you fix that? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 20:35, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

• Template:Ping Strictly speaking it only mentions Southern Rhodesia twice and Rhodesia once. I see no reason to change it as one is the name the act, the other is referencing the British colony and one is referring to the "rebel" state. The C of E God Save the Queen!

• I think you could pipe the link to some other wording. You could also rephrase the ending: "but it was largely ignored in the latter country/colony/state". Yoninah (talk) 20:39, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

• I suppose it is a matter of personal choice, I personally prefer my wording so I will ask Template:Ping to restore the tick please. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 20:42, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
