File source problem with File:Zimbabwe $20000 2007 Reverse.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Zimbabwe $20000 2007 Reverse.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, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [ list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Pithey
Do you remember the case of Jack William Pithey, on whose talk page you participated in a discussion some years ago? I've found a new source (of dubious quality, but still). DS (talk) 20:06, 10 June 2019 (UTC)

Martin King
Hello there Mangwanani, I'm guyus24, an administrator on the Gerry Anderson Encyclopedia. I've recently learnt of the death of Martin King (actor) and you seem to know more information about it from your edits to the wikipedia page here. Are you a family member of Mr King? Did you know him? I would like to know more about either King himself or how you learnt of his death. He seemed to drop off the radar sometime in the 80s, would have loved to reach out to him personally but sadly no one could track him down. It is a great shame that he has died, but hopefully any additional information you have can help shed some light on this forgotten voice artist.

Thank you, guyus24 (talk / contribs) 02:04, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

Infobox Christian Leader
Hi Mangwanani! I see you have been changing church in bishops infoboxes to state their cathedrals; this is incorrect. The church parameter in this case is the highest division from church to province to archdiocese/diocese etc, and doesn't refer to the physical church building. There is also a issue with other_post vs previous_post. The former appears in the top section of the infobox, while the latter appears under the "Personal life" title: so one refers to religious posts, and the other to their former life. The infobox can either have previous_post or profession, eg Headteacher of High School (1993–2002) vs teacher.

I hope this is clear, and thank you for the other additions. Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 11:41, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

Restoring edits of an LTA?
Any particular reason to restore an edit by one of the longest of long-term abusers? Courcelles (talk) 18:00, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Simply because Morgan Tsvangirai was not Prime Minister in 2001. He was being beaten up and jailed by ZANU PF. So the reason would be simple and basic understanding of the facts of History.  Mangwanani  (talk) 21:15, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

2023 Zimbabwean general election
Hello. Please provide a source for the results you are adding, or they will continue to be removed from the article. Cheers, Number   5  7  22:03, 26 August 2023 (UTC)


 * They've literally just been announced on TV. Are you not watching the news?  Mangwanani  (talk) 22:06, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Being on TV doesn't meet WP:V. You need to provide a source people can double check. Number   5  7  22:07, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Of course. Live broadcast of the Chief Justice officially declaring the results is just a major conspiracy.  Mangwanani  (talk) 22:09, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
 * And Lo, it fell silent when it was proved to be arrogant and deleting data even though it was wrong to do so. The apology was never forthcoming and the lowly Zimbabweans sat there in the night waiting for the British to apologise yet again...  Mangwanani  (talk) 22:29, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
 * It wasn't wrong to delete it when it was unsourced, and you should be fully aware of the onus to source content. This is nothing to do with your nationality and everything to do with your attitude. Number   5  7  22:33, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
 * And lo the arrogance persists, unable to have any awareness of the speed with which such things are made available online in Zimbabwe in comparison to Western nations. They continue to judge us by their standards, and in doing so, find us lacking. As in the beginning, they assume bad faith, rather than the fact that sources are not available online as speedily as they desire, yet are available for those of us viewing such things in person.  Mangwanani  (talk) 22:45, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Again, this is nothing to do with arrogance or what country this election is being held in. WP:V is a core Wikipedia principle, and unfortunately people add false election results to Wikipedia all the time, so whatever country the election is taking place in, results being added without a source cannot be taken on good faith. A recent example is an editor adding fake results to the Sierra Leonean election article claiming Kamara had won. Number   5  7  22:55, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

Party colours
Hello. Rather than adding the party colours manually, you can add them to (e.g.) Module:Political party/R and they will then show up whenever that party is listed in an Election results table (which means they will appear consistently and save you the hassle of adding the colour to every table they are listed in). However, for parties without articles, this will only work where the party has a unique name like FreeZim Congress. If it's a name like National Action Party (of which there are a few), you'll still have to add it manually. Cheers, Number   5  7  10:50, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
 * As you enjoy undoing everyone's work on this platform, I look forward to seeing you undo everything I have done to match the above.  Mangwanani  (talk) 11:01, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Not really clear what you mean, but a reminder that generic party names can't be added to the module and you've requested a few (Republican Party, United Democratic Alliance, United Democratic Front, People's Progressive Party). The name has to be unique to the party as if it were an article title. Number   5  7  11:23, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
 * To quote our former President, Robert Mugabe, "Mr Blair (Number57), you keep your England, and let me keep my Zimbabwe."  Mangwanani  (talk) 11:28, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid that violates WP:OWN. Throwing your toys out of the pram at the module talk page is a bit silly isn't it? Why not just get it done. Cheers, Number   5  7  11:34, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
 * What exactly is your purpose on Wikipedia? It does not seem to be collaboration. It does not seem to be building up the knowledge of mankind. There are many people working hard to contribute to the wealth of knowledge of our homeland. You? I have seen no positive contributions to the pages of Zimbabwe, no creation of anything that helps or benefits the knowledge of Zimbabwe - simply deletions. Speaking of just getting it done - you too could do it. I've done the leg work of finding the correct colours. You could be helpful and collaborate to improve the site. But no - as usual with all imperialists, they like to sit there and moan and let the locals get on with it, and when they have done the work, they take the credit for it.  Mangwanani  (talk) 11:38, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I've written thousands of articles on elections and referendums (including several Zimbabwean ones), much of it in collaboration with others. The problem here is your attitude – refusing to acknowledge you have to comply with core policies like WP:V or making accusations against other editors based on their nationality. Regarding the colours, I was trying to be helpful by pointing you to a solution that would save you having to manually input colours to multiple tables, yet you respond to the advice with a dig at me. It's pathetic. Number   5  7  11:47, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I thank God daily that you yourself have no attitude on this website and make such positive and helpful contributions. You must let me know how I can send you tribute and honour according to my station as a lowly African.  Mangwanani  (talk) 11:50, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

Your signature
Please be aware that your signature uses deprecated  tags, which are causing Obsolete HTML tags lint errors. As explained at WP:SIGFONT:
 *  tags were deprecated in HTML4 and are entirely obsolete in HTML5. This means that the popular browsers may drop support for them at some point. Wikipedia is already preparing for this by delinting code project-wide through Linter. When support finally is dropped, the tags will be ignored in all signatures; any properties such as color and font family will revert to their default values. For this reason, it is recommended that you use tags and CSS properties instead.

I have prepared a replacement signature string for you. You are encouraged to change
