Needs Improving

[edit]

As I mentioned on Wiki Project South Africa this page still needs a lot of work to get it up to scratch or even a remotely complete level. I am also worried I might have gotten one or two things wrong especially in the chronology of events section and it could certainly use more references. Either way I could use some help in trying to accurately summarise this rappidly evolving and complicated event.--Discott (talk) 18:27, 22 October 2015 (UTC) This article does not reference the RhodesMustFall protests of 2015. Is this a deliberate choice ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.248.38.118 (talk) 13:07, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

UWC & etc.

[edit]
  • "Demonstrations spread to Rhodes University, Stellenbosch University, UCT, Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University, the University of Pretoria, the University of the Free State, the University of Limpopo, the University of KwaZulu-Natal, Tshwane University of Technology, including its campus in Mbombela, the Cape Peninsula University of Technology, and the University of Fort Hare." [1]
Yes, the events at UWC really do need to be added to this article.--Discott (talk) 18:47, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. --Takutau (talk) 09:07, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This article is not entirely neutral and has a rather biased tone to it. This preferably has to be corrected. The article stresses the views of the protesters only.

Hi BrianLeRoux1, if you feel it is not NPOV enough then I would suggest trying to correct those sections that you feel would enhance NPOV. The article could certainly do with greater input from a wider spectrum of editors.--Discott (talk) 13:25, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Needs new title

[edit]

Although "feesmustfall" is familiar to all of us in South Africa, the rest of the world might not recognise it. I also feel that it is to casual and not appropriate for a title in an encyclopedia. I suggest something in the line "South African Student Protest against tuition fee increases" or something like that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marcopieterse (talkcontribs) 08:45, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Marcopieterse, I disagree. I think the name should stay 'as is' as it meets at least two important Article Title requirements. It is both a commonly recognisable name for the movement as well as being a concise term for it.--Discott (talk) 13:21, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A very good point, I agree with you. .
