Category edits[edit]

Hello, I have undone all of your recent category-related edits, because they are overcategorisation. Category:Xhosa-speaking peoples is for tribes, clans or groups who speak Xhosa, not for individual people; similarly Category:Lists of South African people is for lists of people from South Africa, not for individuals. Also you should not add Category:Xhosa people (or any other similar category) to an article if the article text doesn't support the categorization – preferably with a reliable published source. Let me know if you have any questions about what I have done. Graham87 05:55, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I also deleted Category:Lists of South African Tribes because that is not a proper use of a category. See Wikipedia:Categorization; categories can be very difficult to understand, even for experienced editors. Graham87 06:04, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Similarly, the article Sinenjongo High School is in Category:Schools in Cape Town, so it does not need to be included in Category:Schools in the Western Cape or Category:Schools in South Africa, because the Cape Town category is already in the Western Cape category which in turn is in the South Africa category. - htonl (talk) 09:01, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for September 30[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Simphiwe Dana, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Butterworth and RAP (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Mamani kaPhahlo moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, Mamani kaPhahlo, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
