Category edits
Hello, I have undone all of your recent category-related edits, because they are overcategorisation. Category:Xhosa-speaking peoples is for tribes, clans or groups who speak Xhosa, not for individual people; similarly Category:Lists of South African people is for lists of people from South Africa, not for individuals. Also you should not add Category:Xhosa people (or any other similar category) to an article if the article text doesn't support the categorization – preferably with a reliable published source. Let me know if you have any questions about what I have done. Graham 87 05:55, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I also deleted Category:Lists of South African Tribes because that is not a proper use of a category. See Categorization; categories can be very difficult to understand, even for experienced editors. Graham 87 06:04, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

Similarly, the article Sinenjongo High School is in Category:Schools in Cape Town, so it does not need to be included in Category:Schools in the Western Cape or Category:Schools in South Africa, because the Cape Town category is already in the Western Cape category which in turn is in the South Africa category. - htonl (talk) 09:01, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 30
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Simphiwe Dana, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Butterworth and RAP (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:00, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Mamani kaPhahlo moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Mamani kaPhahlo, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. JW 1961 Talk 19:13, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Start-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. Most new articles start out as Stub-Class or Start-Class and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.
