As it currently stands, the article has a number of parts that appear to be matters of opinion or bias, including: ".. is mistakenly perceived, by some, as a purely linguistic problem", the quote which is there for no apparent reason, "its manifestation is the feeling of marginalization, exploitation and assimilation". Nowhere does it specify just what the supposed "problem" of the subject is, who considers it to be a problem or why... --Gronk Oz (talk) 07:36, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I had made major edits and have completely overhauled the article. Now, it should be clear as to what the Anglophone problem is. I also want to change the name to Cameroon's Anglophone Problem. Is that possible? - QueenWil

@QueenWil: That is certainly better, although it still does not say what the problem is. It says it has something to do with the two groups of people - but what is the actual problem? Is it that they speak different languages, or dialects? If so, please say so. And if it is a dispute between two groups, why would the article be named as if it is a problem with just one of those groups? Even putting the word "problem" in the title makes it sound like a point of view - what sources describe it as a "problem"? Apart from that, the article is still full of emotive language which appears (to me as an outsider) to give undue weight to one particular viewpoint.--Gronk Oz (talk) 02:20, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The anglophone problem is not necessarily a problem. That is just the pharse that this issue has been named as by cameroonians themselves. In this piece, I list the various grievances Anglophones have that constitue the issues between Francophones & Anglophones. As for emotive language, can you give examples? I tried to not be biased in this writing. However there are not many resources from francophones on this issue since most of them will not even acknowledge that a problem exists, rather yet write scholarly work on it. -- QueenWil — Preceding unsigned comment added by QueenWil (talk • contribs) 03:06, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

People editing without sources: Is there a way to stop people from editing who do not include sources? I came back to the article and people are adding to it, which I think is great but they are not adding sources. How can we warn people to do so? — Preceding unsigned comment added by QueenWil (talk • contribs) 13:22, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

[1] . The article needs far too much work for me to incorporate this quickly. power~enwiki (π, ν) 19:30, 1 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
