Multistage loop for picture caption

[edit]

The caption for Desmond Tutu's picture used to read Archbishop Tutu {{circa|2004}}. Then it was:

Clearly, these can't all be improvements on each other. So which should it be? The Crab Who Played With The Sea (talk) 10:44, 31 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

confusing wording?

[edit]

I find the wording "privately—although not at the time publicly" confusing. Could it be shortened to just "privately"? = paul2520 💬 02:17, 20 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Agreed! I edited the section accordingly. HappyWanderer15 (talk) 12:41, 2 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

This page seems to be a frequent target for vandalism - do we need to increase protection on it? Mark and inwardly digest (talk) 16:15, 12 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

degree classification

[edit]

'"Desmond degree" is slang in British universities for a Lower Second-Class Honours degree (a 2:2), derived from the South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu's surname, which sounds like "2.2". It is a form of rhyming slang' why is this not mentioned in the article? its one of the reasons he is most notable and any time someone adds it the changes are reverted.  Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.153.155.3 (talk) 18:59, 30 August 2025 (UTC)Reply

This could be added to the article only if reliable sources are included. Jiltedsquirrel 🌰 (talk || contribs) 19:01, 30 August 2025 (UTC)Reply

Writings

[edit]

There is no mention of "My Vision for South Africa". It does not even have a wikipedia page. This is quite a piece and is used in schools. Can someone get on this? ScionDeMartinez (talk) 04:44, 15 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
