Talk:Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium

Untitled
Can someone please fix up the references. References 1 to 4 are all of the same website, but I am not sure how to only have one reference for multiple parts of the article. The same problem occured with numbers 14 and 16. I unfortunately lack the ability to fix this myself, so could someone with greater skill please help to tidy up the references? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Crazydude22 (talk • contribs) 07:13, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Done. It's quite easy by using named refs. On the first usage use the full ref and give it a name:, on subsequent usages, just use the name: --NJR_ZA (talk) 08:01, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

What needs to be done to have a page checked for quality, and what would be needed to move the stadium page up to C - class? Crazydude22 (talk) 19:22, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

I doubt whether this deserves to be in the article but it is very strange:

NAIVE tourists might expect wildlife in the streets of South Africa. But a buck inside a 2010 soccer stadium? Sounds unlikely, but this is exactly what happened in Port Elizabeth at the weekend. A wild mountain reedbuck was rescued on Friday from the city’s 2010 stadium where the panic- stricken animal was trying to ram through glass doors. Arnold Slabbert, of conservation organisation Wildline, said yesterday he was alerted by the stadium management. “I could not believe it ... but he was right.” Battered and bloody, the terrified adult buck was trying to charge through glass doors on the second floor. An assistant grabbed her back legs and Slabbert was able to subdue her by throwing a blanket over her head. “She was very strong, her hooves are razor sharp and she kicked like crazy, so I was pretty sore myself. “But we managed to get her back to the Wildine rehabilitation centre and the hope is that she will be fine.” Slabbert said his first thought when he confirmed it was a buck was that it must be a pet that escaped from someone’s back yard. “But she is definitely wild. “The nearest wild population of mountain reedbuck is on Lady Slipper ... (so) just how she made it through the streets into the stadium is a mystery,” he said. If the buck survives, she will be rehabilitated and then released.

This probably shouldn't go in the article, but I thought I'd post it here just in case:

AFTER a devastating fire which gutted their school at the weekend, the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium has come to the rescue of matric pupils now in desperate need of facilities as they prepare for exams later this month. Stadium management has offered space for nearly 100 matric pupils from Khumbulani High School in North End, after the blaze swept through the historic Port Elizabeth school building on Sunday afternoon in what is suspected to be arson. Vital school records and documents with previous exam marks also went up in smoke, leaving staff and the Education Department to come up with contingency arrangements. The department is hoping to have a plan for the school’s 800 pupils in place by tomorrow. The offer by the stadium’s management came just as Khumbulani High’s matrics were expressing their horror over the blaze and their exam fears. Hundreds of devastated pupils sang and prayed outside the school yesterday morning while police rummaged through the smoking debris to try and find evidence. Tearful children stood chanting at the gates as principal Albert Tshanga asked everyone to go home and return tomorrow, allowing him time to draw up a contingency plan Stadium spokesman Buli Ngomane said they had offered Tshanga usage of a portion of the stadium for the 94 matric pupils. “We have a really big area for them to study and write their exams, but the principal will come and see if it is suitable,” she said. “For us, this is the neighbourly thing to do. We are really looking forward to assisting (them) as the school is just so close by.” Education Department inspector Nonzwakazi Mtulu, who was at the school yesterday, said they would “liaise” with teachers and parents to formulate a response plan.
