[edit]
Hello, I'm Box of wolves. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Zulu people, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Box of wolves (feed) 06:52, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
- Zulu culture which I am are part of is oral, there are no citication on the updates that I have made because documenting ourselves is not part of our beliefs,what I tried to do is give the world a more accurate picture of our people but I guess that was in vain.

Personal attacks
[edit]Hi, please stop your personal attacks in your edit summaries. You are absolutely wrong that I am here to "defend" Gouws. I am a longstanding wiki editor and you can check my edit history which is public and judge me on that. Please assume good faith. Zaian (talk) 07:30, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

[edit] Hello, I'm DaxServer. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to BRICS seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — DaxServer (t·m·e·c) 08:31, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
Edits to South Africa
[edit]Hi there. I noticed that when you edited South Africa, specifically the sentence about the Constitutional Court (this edit), you removed the word "Johannesburg". After that, you instead wrote "the city" rather than stating where exactly the court is. Please be careful with editing such articles (articles about nations are important and should be edited with care).

- Also, the sentence where you claimed that "South Africa is the leading democracy in Africa" does not have a full stop at the end and there is no citation present for that particular sentence. If a citation already exists somewhere within the article about South Africa having the leading democracy, then please find it and add that citation next to this sentence. Thanks.

Introduction to contentious topics
[edit]
You have recently edited a page related to the Balkans or Eastern Europe, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practices;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
