Commandant Frank Bestbier of 1 SAI
Hi I see you have removed my add to 1 SAI under notable commanders. Commandant is historically significant. He is one of the initiators of Mechanised Infantry of which 1 SAI was the first. He is also the first commander of 61 Mech the unit which eventually operationalised the theory taught at 1 SAI. Your removal makes no sense whatsoever.

Contests
User:Dr. Blofeld has created WikiProject Africa/Contests. The idea is to run a series of contests/editathons focusing on each region of Africa. He has spoken to Wikimedia about it and $1000-1500 is possible for prize money. As someone who has previously expressed interest in African topics, would you be interested in contributing to one or assisting draw up core article/missing article lists? He says he's thinking of North Africa for an inaugural one in October. If interested please sign up in the participants section of the Contest page, thanks.♦ -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 01:14, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Routes
Thank you for your contributions to the metropolitan routes of Johannesburg and regional South African routes. As someone who spent a fair bit of time on them a few years back, it is good to come past and see someone carry on the labour. I know the pain of looking at multiple mapbooks and online sources and getting conflicting routes. I don't know if you've seen what the M7 looks like per a late 80s Mapstudio map, but it's not the same as more recent ones at all! Garble (talk) 08:56, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for you comments. Do route signs still exist in Johannesburg? Hahahaha. Is my M7 route wrong?. Conlinp (talk) 10:55, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
 * No, but it was rerouted at some point (probably when they deprecated the M6? The current M6 is I think reused...) I haven't been based in Johannesburg since 2012, but route signs are not well-marked. I'm now in Cape Town, which is better, but not great. There are just as many mysteries in the Cape Town Metropolitan Route schema... !! Garble (talk) 16:18, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

You have expressed interest in the discussion of renaming African places in the past and was wondering if you could give your input on my post in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject South Africa/Politics task force.

Citing the "Route Section" on Road Articles
Hi there.

I wanted to bring to your attention the last topic I brought up on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Highways yesterday, where I was talking about certain editors erasing the "Route" section of road articles because not a single paragraph contains a citation. If any paragraph would have a citation, they would leave that one and erase the rest, leaving the section as Incomplete, forgetting that we are describing a route from start to finish.

Overtime, I became very-convinced that only the "Introduction" on route articles needed a citation, just like we did on R511 (South Africa), M11 (Johannesburg) & N18 (South Africa) but a certain editor has proved me wrong. I guess that rule is only being enforced on "some" articles.

Recently, I created the M18 (Pretoria) article in the same format as many South African Roads but when I checked it out next, I found only the first sentence was left under the "Route" section while the rest was erased. Who starts a story without finishing it & is this ethical? Then, I also went to check the M6 (Pretoria) article and found the "Route" section erased.

So, is a GPS (such as OpenStreetMap and Google Maps) the best website to use as a "source" for a "Metropolitan Route"? Because I can't seem to find proper ones for that road classification. Chils Kemptonian (talk) 12:51, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi Chils. Yes, I am aware of the conversations on the Highways talk page. Asked a similar question years ago and yes it should be cited to some degree. Give me a few weeks and I will restore and cite your work. We will the add a more descriptive landscape statement the route passes through. Regards. Paul.

Tips
 * Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
 * It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
 * If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
 * When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
 * If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
 * Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

 Connecting If you are interested, there is already a community of users who are roadfans or who edit articles about roads, just like you! Stop by any of these WikiProjects—WP:HWY (worldwide), WP:AURD (Australia), WP:CARD (Canada), WP:HKRD (Hong Kong), WP:INRD (India), WP:UKRD (United Kingdom), or WP:USRD (United States)—and contribute. If your interest is in roads in the United States, there is an excellent new user's guide. There is a wealth of information and resources for creating a great article. If you have questions about any of these WikiProjects, you can ask on each project's talk page, or you can ask me!

South African Border War infobox
Hi Conlinp,

I’m reaching out because there’s currently a discussion underway to strike references to supporting actors (like the Soviet Union and other socialist states) from the infobox for South African Border War. This seems disingenuous given the degree of the USSR’s involvement in that conflict, up to and including Soviet deaths and injuries during SADF combat operations. If you have any input, I’d appreciate it if you could weigh in here.

Thanks! Katan gais (talk) 18:37, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
