Pictures[edit]

Since this article contains information about a candidate in an upcoming or ongoing election, would be putting some of his current election materials in the page be fair use? Eenoowendo (talk) 17:46, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It would probably be better doing so here. If you can expand this page and update it that would be great. Mangwanani (talk) 17:50, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cool. I would but I noticed that Wikipedia wont let me upload images coz I'm not an administrator/sysops or something. In addition I wanted to use one of his campaign images for the image in this page. Would that be fair use too? Eenoowendo (talk) 19:18, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You don't have to be an administrator/sysop to upload images. It just depends on what image you want and what rationale we can write for it... Mangwanani (talk) 19:24, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dude, that was quick! Thing is I don't own the image and Wikipedia says "Do not use this form for images found somewhere on the Internet or created by someone else." If I just proceed anyway I get "The action you have requested is limited to users in one of the groups Autoconfirmed users, Sysops." Eenoowendo (talk) 20:03, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Presidential Campaign of March 2008[edit]

Added section that should summarize his March 2008 campaign but refer to this page as the main article. I quoted what Makoni and Muchechetere said on TV but ZTV doesn't put it's programs online for download so I put a quote in the form of a transcript. I hope it's not too sloppy. How do I put a TV program as a reference? Eenoowendo (talk) 19:18, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

National Alliance for Democracy[edit]

I have created a page for the party. It redirects to this page for now, just until someone writes the article there. Babakathy (talk) 12:58, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
