Sport in South Africa
Re: sports logos. I am going to delete these from the article, they are copyright of the respective organisations. Under the 'free use' legislation we can use them on articles directly related to their organisation e.g. SARFU or South Africa national rugby union team, I don't think Sport in South Africa would count.GordyB 17:23, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi Bothar

Although the original scholarship deadline has passed, please, if you are interested, you may still apply at http://wm07schols.wikimedia.org/apply.php. Sincerely yours, Cary Bass 21:26, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Picture of Big Hole
Hi Bothar

I am working on writing about South Africa on det norwegian (bokmål) wikipedia and så your picture of Big Hole. I see you have released it to public domain. I can't find a single picture from Kimberley at Wikicommons and was wondering if you could upload the picture there. Shauni 00:27, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi Rudolph, Pragtige foto van die Africanis hond. Ek is opsoek na soorgelyke hond. Weet jy moontlik of die hond nog bestaan?

South African Wikimedia Chapter
Hi Bothar :) The idea of setting up a local Wikimedia chapter has been discussed by South African Wikipedians (and those associated with other Wikimedia projects) for some time now, and we want to help turn this dream into a reality.  There are currently over 25 chapters established around the world, and several more planned and being discussed, but so far, none in Africa.  A South African chapter, should it become a reality, would be a continental first. If you're interested in being involved in the creation of a South African Wikimedia Chapter, could you please [mailto:wikipedia@africancommons.org email me] directly.  Thanks and looking forward to hearing from you Kaydee 68 (talk) 15:40, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

South African Wikimedia Chapter update and mailing list
Hi there. Local Wikipedians have set up a mailing list where we will be discussing the formation of a local Wikimedia Chapter in South Africa. Please join the mailing list at this url https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaza. There is also a page set up on Meta where you can add your name if you're interested to take this idea forward. Check out http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_South_Africa. Thanks Kaydee 68 (talk) 09:11, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Inviting you to WikiAfrica Incubator!
Hey Bothar,

WikiAfrica invites you to support the Africa Incubator

WikiAfrica is pleased to invite you as a self-declared African Wikipedian to evaluate the Africa Incubator. WikiAfrica has created the Africa Incubator to support and assist new authors, as they create their first articles and learn the ins and outs of contributing to Wikipedia.

The Africa Incubator is a ‘soft landing’ for new authors to develop articles that relate to Africa. It assists them in becoming compliant and knowledgeable of Wikipedia principles and rules. Based within the Wikipedia framework, the Africa Incubator is fully interactive and enables feedback, assistance and forums.

This is where we need your help! For the Africa Incubator to be successful, it needs the intervention, interaction and experience of Incubator Mentors. We are looking for a pool of active experienced Wikipedians to consistently participate in ’owning’ the Africa Incubator. Incubator Mentors will assist new comers through the editing process. They will also help test and expand the Africa Incubator, and will play a vital role in encouraging newcomers to be Wikipedians for life

Please visit WikiAfrica Incubator to give us your honest feedback and evaluation. WikiAfrica is a ground-breaking project that is designed to Africanise Wikipedia by generating and expanding 30,000 articles over two years. Find out more about this project here WikiAfrica. To get involved, contact Francis [wikipedian@wikiafrica.net] Twitter: twitter.com/#!/wikiafrica Facebook: www.facebook.com/WikiAfrica

Orphaned non-free image File:Comrades Marathon logo.JPG
Thanks for uploading File:Comrades Marathon logo.JPG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:09, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
