Hello Punungwe! I am an amateur geographer who is very interested in the possible quadripoint between Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe. I would like to learn where you have the information from that these four countries meet in one single point. Jakro64 ( talk) 20:38, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
Hello. First of all, if you have something to say to me, please do so on the right page instead of on my user page. It is not true that the source confirms your number: It lists Shona, Ndau, and Manyika alongside five other varieties. Summing some varieties but not others listed on the same level by a source is original research and must be avoided. Being a native speaker is irrelevant, only sources are. If you can find a proper source backing up your claim of Ndau and Manyika being considered part of Shona, then you can add the number, embedded in the right wording and alongside Ethnologue's value. -- JorisvS ( talk) 20:32, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Lucky Mumiriki, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://allafrica.com/stories/201106030118.html.
It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.
If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

A tag has been placed on Solomon mahlangu requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hello Punungwe,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Mufa’khathat for deletion, because it seems to be vandalism or a hoax.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks, Puffin Let's talk! 20:12, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
