Unspecified source for Image:Twin_Rivers_Logo.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Twin_Rivers_Logo.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 02:54, 25 December 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jusjih (talk) 02:54, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. Help me with my new page Metella please.

Wikiproject Zimbabwe
Hey Mangwanani. It took me over fives hours to make those changes. You think what i was doing was vandalism?? I see. Good luck making the world know about Zimbabwe, i thought i could help, but clearly you seem to be in good shape. Instead of deleting what i did, you could have edited it to make it what you want to look like. Where will i get another five hours? In case you don't know, i'm dedicated to making Zimbabwe a country that the world knows. You can look around and see the many contributions i have made in the past. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Macvivo (talk • contribs) 14:41, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Sir, got you. I will remember that. It's okay, it would be awesome if you can send pointers. Yes keep them emails coming in i make mistakes on the pages. Thank you, ~MacVivo —Preceding unsigned comment added by Macvivo (talk • contribs) 16:33, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Okay!
sorry, i will remember that. Very sorry! 17:29, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Sir, All cool. Yesterday, i made sub-headings on a number of pages, my motivation was that i would come back and fill in the blanks. Like, when i visited most city pages, they had just a jumble of information all mashed together. I hoped that if i give people clear cut headings, they would know where to put their contributions. Kinda like the difference between "Masvingo" and Masvingo with subheadings like government departments, Tertiary Education, etc. My idea was that a person would find it easier to contribute to a Masvingo with sub-headings that just a Masvingo.

Also, thank you for the main pointers you sent me. They are really helpful. I hope working with guys like you we will be able to shine a light on the dark country. The reason why evil exists in the country is because these guys do things knowing that nobody in the world will know about what they did. I know i can't contribute everything, but i will try my best to bring forth information on South East Zimbabwe [where i'm from]. The reason i started contributing is that i'm working on book that i'm writing right now...novel based in southern Zimbawe. You imagine the frustration i get when there is not even a morsel of information on say Chiredzi or Masvingo or such.

Thank you,

Mwenezi (District)
i was going to make lots of additions to the page, coz i do have a lot of information/sources etc. however, i found out that you removed the Settlement Infobox...i don't know if i should put it back or not. Kinda useless to do that since it's been already been removed..like back and forth. I was hopping to cover the entire Masvingo province in MINUTE detail...take for example that infobox on Mwenezi (district) i had more information to add....advise me on what i should do. I will look on Cheredzi district for now, waiting for feedback. also, i told you in the past that i will follow up and put flesh on the sub-headings, that is what i'm now...kinda a pain to get my sources together and then create a page...i feel it better to create a page and then get my sources together....strategy i use in writing my books/novels....but of course like you said it can be annoying to leave pages with sub-headings that are blank. anyway, good thing is that one way or another, no matter what the coverage of zim will continue. Thank you,

personalities....
Um....if you are a researcher, what would you want to know about say...Prof. Jonathan Moyo or Gideon Gono? Yes, you want to Moyo's role in POSA, AIPPA etc. For Gono, you would want to know his role in overseeing the rise of inflation, cash shortages, wars with businessmen, relationship with benefector robert Mugabe etc. There other day i added that infor on Gono's page....but you deleted it in the following day. Of course i was gonna add citations/sources. Now i don't know whether i should put that infor on Gono back or i should just let it be. For influencial people like him, i feel it's important to expose the truth about them. Let's people like Prof. Moyo will walk around claiming to be messiahs of zimbabwe etc. I hope you get my point.....every statement i put down, temporarirly remains without a source but you can sure know that a few days later i will put up the reference. Comes back to that claim of mine....like i won't build a house unless if i have land on which to build it....like i won't look for sources/references unless i have the statement of say "Gono trades for foreign currency on the black market" or "He has caused cash shortages" etc. Of course statements like these my seam biased or like i want to settle scores with the man. NO! statements like those are similar to say...Mugabe "killed 20000 during Gukurahundi" or that "Hitler gassed Jews" or "Osama's hands are blood drenched" It not like i'm angry at Hitler or such, but i'm just stating 'FACTS' Peace.

great zim
you are absolutely right! Where in this world have you ever heard "Republic of Zimbabwe" ? Yes, it's called great zimbabwe. but in looking over the pages here on wikipedia....the contributors have been writing 'great zim nat. monu....i mean, they have been using the whole official name....even on the page itself...i thought it easy if we would just call int gznm..................that all....but yep you are right. you can undo the change if you want.

Fair use rationale for Image:Chitungwiza Coat of Arms.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Chitungwiza Coat of Arms.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jackaranga (talk) 23:10, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Creating redirects
Before you create a redirect to a page you must ensure the page it redirects to already exists. Otherwise you run the risk of the redirect being speedily deleted under the criteria: "Redirects to deleted pages and to nonexistent pages." Please create the main article in first in future. --JD554 (talk) 12:36, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Living people category
Hello Mangwanani. I see that you're creating stubs for Zimbabwean politicians. Good work. Can you make sure to include Category:Living people in there? It's useful for bot purposes. Same for categories of the form Category:1956 births when you have an available birth date. Thanks, Pascal.Tesson (talk) 12:44, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
