Sorry, didn't mean to step on your edits. I'll wait a while before adding more, I think you should use the references format I put in there for you to be like other articles. Moscatanix 16:46, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Interested in helping wikipedia in Shona/Ndebele?

Hi Africa Festival of the beautiful name :) Thanks for your contributions in the Africa sphere so far. Coming from Zimbabwe, I wonder if you speak Shona and/or Ndebele, and would be be interested in helping develop Wikipedia in either of those languages? Take a look at this page if you're interested.

Again, welcome! We hope you enjoy working on this project.

Pius Ncube

Hi! I see that the Pius Ncube article has been vandalised recently and that you have reverted it. I was just wondering if you meant to revert it to the edit before mine? I dont feel that what I added was vandalism and I did source it well (I thought so anyway). If there was a particular reason you didn't like my stuff please tell me as Im still quite new and I may have screwed up without meaning to.

Thanks

Revamp

Just to let you know, I have completely revamped the WikiProject Zimbabwe page so that it is more uniform to the layout and design of other WikiProjects. Please have a look and try to fill in any of the new sections created. Your help is much appreciated. Many thanks, Mangwanani 16:59, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WPZW September

Hi,

The current Zimbabwe WikiProject Collaboration of the Fortnight is Not applicable!
Please read the nomination text and help improve the article to featured article standard if you can.

As the number of people taking part in WikiProject Zimbabwe grows, I have more and more people to notify of changes. If you havn't already done so, please could you add the notice board to your watch list so that I can add any changes there and only once not as many times as there are members. Many thanks, Mangwanani 13:10, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Arthur G.O. Mutambara

I wonder if you ever bothered to read the edit you reverted. The only source that went was the tvnz.co.nz link and that source was clearly bunkum. It was used to support a description of the MDC led by Morgan Tsvangirai as "mainstream"; the word mainstream was never used in the source. "Main" was but that is in any case a point of view description and not appropriate for Wikipedia. WP:NPOV mandates that we can't regard either part of the MDC as the "main" faction because that is to endorse them. We can say that one is bigger than the other. Don't revert this edit.

Your recent edits

Hi, there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 16:54, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Change you can Xerox

Agribusiness Association of Solusi University

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Agribusiness Association of Solusi University, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Agribusiness Association of Solusi University.

AfD nomination of Solusi University Faculty of Science & Technology

I have nominated Solusi University Faculty of Science & Technology, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Solusi University Faculty of Science & Technology. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Noetic Sage 02:50, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Heya,

Thanks so much for all your brilliant work on the Movement for Democratic Change article!!

I had added two templates ({{refimprove}} and {{Original research}}) as there were entire stretches of text without any sources. I had posted on the talk page about this when I did it, and I'd really appreciate it if you could discuss there before removing them, as otherwise I can't understand why you do it - though I'm sure it's the best of motives.

So, thanks a lot for all of your work, and if you don't mind, I can add the templates back - and look forward to the discussion on Talk:Movement for Democratic Change.

Many thanks, Drum guy (talk) 20:24, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Image source problem with Image:NelsonChamisa.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:NelsonChamisa.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, 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, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

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 Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 15:17, 12 September 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Calliopejen1 (talk) 15:17, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have tried to split the article Movement for Democratic Change, into Movement for Democratic Change - Tsvangirai and Movement for Democratic Change (pre-2004), leaving the Tsvangirai faction as the main article (Movement for Democratic Change). I got a small amount of consensus on the talk page (although not much!). However, I got to making a good start on the pre-2004 article when you said that the parties were back together, which is simply not true. They operate entirely seperately, and are considered legally, commercially etc to be two separate parties. Hence in parliament, even the new parliament, they are considered as separate entities. [1] It is certainly a priority to split this article. Perhaps the only thing in question is the name of the party. I respect that some people call the party different things, and that maybe therefore we need to call the Mutambara faction Movement for Democratic Change - Mutambara, but both call themselves MDC. [2]However, here I have a pretty good source (I think you would agree!) saying that the name is MDC-T, whilst Mutambara is simply MDC[3]--HandGrenadePins (talk) 10:24, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for permission. I'm glad we can come to a compromise. Really apreciate the work you 've done so far on the topic by the way.--HandGrenadePins (talk) 10:38, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
