This Task force of WikiProject Zimbabwe and WikiProject Former countries was formed to foster better articles on the former African country Rhodesia with a spirit of cooperation.

This is a just a bare-bones task force; we don't even have our own talk page. This project, and our parent project Zimbabwe, are far too inactive to be able to afford discussion and effort being divided across two projects, let alone for that to be practical or useful. Our primary role is to categorize and assess the importance of Zimbabwe articles that are particularly relevant to Rhodesia. The articles don't always have the same priority—for example Rhodesian Air Force is classed mid-importance for Zimbabwe, but high-importance for Rhodesia.

To participate, simply add your name to the members section.

Scope

This WikiProject aims primarily to help coordinate pages on:

1. Rhodesia
2. The History of Rhodesia
3. Rhodesians
