  • The article is very extensive and well-referenced. However, I am not really sure I really understand the hook. How was it never quite the same?--Carabinieri (talk) 20:43, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
  • I agree on reflection it's a bit vague, but I was having trouble finding an appropriate hook for this article, which has so much stuff in it. I was trying to get over the fact that the role changed significantly between each officer-holder (for example, the title changed, the territory joined the federation, the prime minister started going to Commonwealth conferences, etc), but I don't think I succeeded.
  • How about:
  • ALT ... that the role of the Rhodesian head of government gradually evolved, between 1890 and 1970, from a company-appointed administrator to the prime minister of a republic?
