Hey there was a source on my edit! Why was it deleted!? Walrusfunk (talk) 22:27, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The link appeared to be WP:SPAM and of questionable relevance. I know the movie pretty thoroughly and have no recollection of Mufasa ever speaking the line attributed to him, but even if he did, that does not automatically make it a good addition to the article. --Mwalimu59 (talk) 22:43, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the sentence "The name "Mufasa" means "Pookie lookie" in the Manazoto language." The Manazoto language obviously does not exist. See also google [1]. -- PhJ (talk) 05:38, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Swahili word for "King" is Mfalme, nor Mufasa. This needs to be changed. Mufasa has no meaning in Swahili. I lived in Kenya and Tanzania, two Swahili speaking countries. I asked a lot of people and they don't know that word. But I learned king as in the sentence "Yesu ni mfalme" mean Jesus is King.

Hello, @Changedforbetter: I will be reviewing this article as part of the January 2025 Backlog Drive. BigChrisKenney (talk) 07:22, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Made an edit you may wish to review.

Good!

Added a link you may wish to review.

I agree about the excessive citations in the last paragraph. I recommend to stick to at most, the top five that are the most prominent.

Citations reduced.--Changedforbetter (talk) 14:36, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Again with excessive citations, refer to previous comment.

Overall, I think the article is well written. There are two things that I would like to see changed.

1. The amount of times that Mufasa's death is referenced to Bambi's mother. I feel like it is referenced too many times across the whole article and needs to only be mentioned once in the intro and once in the main article.

2. The amount of the article that deals with Mufasa's death. It seems like 1/3 - 1/2 of the article is in some way refering to his death. While the death scene was impactful in many ways and deserves to be written about, I am certain that it does not need to be mentioned in every single section of the article. There should be a balance between the rest of the content in the article and I would recommend cutting 30-50% of the current material dealing with his passing.

Hope the comments help! I will continue the review when some changes have been made. BigChrisKenney (talk) 08:02, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
