Doubt

The text says "Tanzania" but the McTutor article says "Tasmania". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.123.215.180 (talk) 11:13, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a source written by Mumford. Sean.hoyland - talk 16:56, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This article seems like a list of facts at times. It needs some organization, maybe create and Early life section and merge it with family. Otherwise just needs to be made more encyclopedic before it can be considered for B-class--Cronholm144 00:38, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
