Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Blombos Cave, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Heidelberg, South Africa. 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.

Welcome, and thank you for contributing the page Clarence Van Riet Lowe to Wikipedia. While you have added the page to the English version of Wikipedia, the article is not in English. We invite you to translate it into English. It has been listed at Pages Needing Translation, but if it is not translated within two weeks, the article will be listed for deletion. Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Clarence Van Riet Lowe 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. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.sarada.co.za/people_and_institutions/researchers/clarence_van_riet_lowe/. 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 this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. —Largo Plazo ( talk) 22:55, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

Hello. I see that you created a new category, Category:TRC South African murdered. It wasn't clear to me until I searched what TRC stood for, but now I see that it refers to South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Still, the category name is confusing. To the best of my knowledge, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission didn't murder anybody, did it? Please consider renaming Category:TRC South African murdered and your other TRC categories with names that make their purpose clearer to readers (including other editors). Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/ Stalk 17:07, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Lupin poster.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 17:31, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

@ Axxter99:, I see you've moved Greenside Primary School (South Africa) to Greenside Primary School (Limpopo), which was inadequate disambiguation since Greenside Primary School (Johannesburg) does not have a wiki link at least not yet, and Greenside Primary School (South Africa) still redirects to (Limpopo). Can you please address the issue before i undo your edit/page move. Thank you Motlatlaneo ( talk) 11:28, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

You may also read WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources. A more comprehensive guide is WP:SOURCES ... Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact referred to, that meet these tough criteria is likely to allow this article to remain.

Welcome, and thank you for contributing the page Clarence Van Riet Lowe to Wikipedia. While you have added the page to the English version of Wikipedia, the article is not in English. We invite you to translate it into English. It has been listed at Pages Needing Translation, but if it is not translated within two weeks, the article will be listed for deletion. Thank you.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Clarence Van Riet Lowe 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. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.sarada.co.za/people_and_institutions/researchers/clarence_van_riet_lowe/. 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.

Hello. I see that you created a new category, Category:TRC South African murdered. It wasn't clear to me until I searched what TRC stood for, but now I see that it refers to South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Still, the category name is confusing. To the best of my knowledge, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission didn't murder anybody, did it? Please consider renaming Category:TRC South African murdered and your other TRC categories with names that make their purpose clearer to readers (including other editors). Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/ Stalk 17:07, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Jimmy Dludlu requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://friendsmadiba.com/speakers/jimmy-dludlu/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material 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 use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

@ Axxter99:, I see you've moved Greenside Primary School (South Africa) to Greenside Primary School (Limpopo), which was inadequate disambiguation since Greenside Primary School (Johannesburg) does not have a wiki link at least not yet, and Greenside Primary School (South Africa) still redirects to (Limpopo). Can you please address the issue before i undo your edit/page move. Thank you Motlatlaneo ( talk) 11:28, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Axxter99,
Thank you for creating Addo Elephants.
I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:
This article needs more references to satisfy notability for sport. The References have to specifically address this team, Addo Elephants. What is needed are references from significant coverage about the topic of the article, and independent of it, in multiple secondary sources which are WP:RS; that is your guide. You may also read WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources. A more comprehensive guide is WP:SOURCES ... Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact referred to, that meet these tough criteria is likely to allow this article to remain. Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the topic is not suitable for inclusion. Kindly do the needful. Thank you.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Whiteguru}}
