I noticed you create the category Category:Classification Systems. The S in systems should be written in lowecase per WP:MOS. I tagged the category, the articles should be moved within an hour or so. Cheers, —Ruud 12:32, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

When I said should be moved within an hour or so, I meant that a robot (User:NekoDeamon) should automatically move those articles but I now realise that A) this bot doesn't work anymore and B) you could misinterpret it as that you should move them within an hour. Sorry, —Ruud 19:06, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Psychology Wiki

The Logo for the Psychology Wiki.

Hi Suidafrikaan,

I noticed that you used to be a lecturer and clinical psychologist, and thought you might be interested in this project which I am involved in, The Psychology Wiki.

I won't say too much, as I'd like you to judge it for yourself, but you should find that it is different from Wikipedia, because approximately 90% of our contributors so far are professional psychologists, academics, or students and trainees.

Its hosted by a company called Wikia, which was founded by Jimmy Wales and Angela Beesley. There are Google Ads on the site, but we dont make money from the project, they're just to pay for the bandwidth, storage and technical support that Wikia give us.

Have a look and see what you think

Wikimania 2007

Hi Suidafrikaan

Wikimania 2007, which is being held in Taipei, Taiwan on August 3-5, is offering opportunities for travel scholarships to Wikimania for active users of Wikimedia projects from the continent of Africa. Although the original scholarship deadline has passed, please, if you are interested, you may still apply at http://wm07schols.wikimedia.org/apply.php. Sincerely yours, Cary Bass 21:27, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

CCB

I congratulate you on your Civil Cooperation Bureau creation: it is so well researched and sourced. I thought of creating such an article several years ago but it would have paled into insignificance compared to what you have produced: well done!

I note that you do not accept Craig Williamson was a CCB member. What about Peter Caselton (who was involved with the Swede Bertil Wedin in a number of CCB-type escapades) and who was killed under the wheels of a truck, after naming the killer of Swedish PM Olof Palme. Was Caselton a CCB member?Phase4 21:09, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Edit summaries

Hi, I have previously informed you of the guidelines regarding "edit summaries", but you are still making numerous edits without edit summaries. Please read Help:Edit summary for further information. Furthermore, it is a little disruptive to make a large number of small edits (all without edit summaries), because it clutters the pages history. If you look at the page history of Third force (South Africa) for instance (here), you will see how the edit history quickly becomes cluttered. Please use the preview feature and try to group a few small edits together (see Help:Show preview). --Deon Steyn 05:45, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

At first glance, I quite like the new apartheid infbox. Thanks for adding it to the various articles. However, I concur with Deon about edit summaries. Reviewing my watchlist today, there are lots and lots of edits by you, and it would have been really useful if each one had a summary "add infobox". Just a courtesy to other editors reviewing changes to articles on their watchlist. Thanks, Zaian 09:56, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Template:Apartheid

How about adding an optional image to the template? It might improve the layout, e.g. on Sharpeville massacre, if the image could become part of the template. No, I haven't a clue how to add an image to a template... Zaian 15:26, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Nice template! The two categories of people (for and against) might be a little problematic, because it could grow quite large and it might be difficult to choose only a few. I'll add some more thoughts to the template's discussion pages. --Deon Steyn 06:53, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Category:People opposed to apartheid

Hi. I've nominated Category:People opposed to apartheid for deletion at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2007_May_27. You are welcome to give your opinions against deletion there if you want. --Ezeu 17:22, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
