Photo request
Hello! Do you take photo requests? If so, would you mind photographing the headquarters of South African Airways in Kempton Park and the headquarters of Comair Limited in Bonaero Park? Thank you WhisperToMe (talk) 09:02, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I found the exact location of the South African offices: Google Maps View - If you want to do the photo request, this should help you locate the offices. WhisperToMe (talk) 02:26, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

South African Wikimedia Chapter
Hi FredStrauss. 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 have a great World Cup Opening day, Kaydee 68 (talk) 07:06, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Inviting you to WikiAfrica Incubator!
Hey Fredstrauss,

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 --Awinda 11:31, 6 March 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Awinda (talk • contribs)
