Morgan freeman

I know this might sound silly but Am I the first to notice this guy's drawing is the EXACT IMAGE AND LIKENESS OF MORGAN FREEMAN!??? This is weird. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.166.116.249 (talk) 14:11, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Merge Free State-Basotho War

I propose that the stub Free State-Basotho War be merged into Moshoeshoe I#Wars where it already appears with possibly even more information than the article itself. Thoughts? Chris Buttigieg 14:29, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

By all means, lets merge the stub with the article on Moshoeshoe. 84.141.141.245 02:26, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

I've expanded the other article, and it's not really a good subject for merging anymore. The war, as usual, involved several sides and was important in Lesotho's history by its own right. - Bobet 01:29, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

I agree with expanding the other article rather than merging. I also feel it’s not a good subject for merging anymore. --DavidD4scnrt (talk) 08:17, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

pronunciation

Since this appears to be an Anglicized pronunciation, I'm formatting it that way. kwami 23:11, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Merge Moshoeshoe Day to here

There's no reason to have a one-sentence article when it could just be a paragraph in this article. 199.38.155.10 (talk) 00:48, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

There was nothing to merge, really. The sentence is also in Moshoeshoe I#Legacy. Moshoeshoe Day now redirects here.Raykyogrou0 (Talk) 13:37, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

early childhood

the article states that, in his "early childhood," he helped his father gain power. To me, "early childhood" is maybe five or six years old, give or take one or two. It's unlikely that a child that young would have been able to contribute too much during a power struggle. I wonder if this should be "as a young adult" or "young man."

OK, I changed it to 'youth' to match the language used in the body section - Francoisdjvr (talk) 09:04, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

Can anybody find reliable sources noting his Pinky and the Brain reference

As a kid, I thought his mention in the Pinky and the Brain Animaniacs episode Big Win was just fictional cartoon stuff. It is quite interesting to learn King Moshoeshoe the first was actually a real person.2601:449:4582:B3C0:4DF5:FBAD:FB3B:8C5C (talk) 16:18, 9 February 2025 (UTC)
