i just wanted to give you a heads up that i deleted the will quotes you put in to the rhodes scholarship page, since they were from rhodes's 1877 will, not the 1902 will that actually set up the scholarships. i've explained more on the talk page for that article. Ptomng 18:11, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

What is Link-Spamming? I am still learning, so please let me know so I don't do it again in the future --Marcelle 10:42, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

I am not the person who is spamming these pages. I cannot get into this IP address to request to be unblocked, since it is blocked. I also cannot seem to get to send YOU a message either. Please fix it so I can continue editing pages. This is getting really absurd. --Marcelle 04:38, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

As I said you don't need to edit that page giving the details here (as you have) is the correct things to do. I see the address has been unblocked now. --pgk(talk) 18:29, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

I am not the person who spammed all these pages. I cannot get into this IP address to request to be unblocked, since it is blocked. Either way, please fix it so I can continue editing pages. --Marcelle 07:33, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

It's ok, it is actually correct to place the unblock tag here with the details of the block rather than as suggested below... The block expires shortly and I guess you aren't around at the moment, so I'll leave it in place but hopefully you'll be ok when you next try. --pgk(talk) 18:58, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Unblock request denied, as you're not unblocked. If it's your IP address that's blocked, please place the {{unblock}} template on your IP address's talk page. Thanks, Rory096 05:30, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi Marcelle,

Welcome to Wikipedia and good work on adding to this article! But please try to avoid the duplication of internal links, the Wikipedia convention is only one per article.

[edit] Image Tagging Image:BKAA.jpg

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:BKAA.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -SCEhardT 14:37, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

  1. Thanks for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and has been reverted or removed undone by an automated bot. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks.

[edit] Tawkerbot2 and the reversion of your edit(s)

Hello, Marcelle. You may have noticed User:Tawkerbot2 reverted one or more of your edits and perhaps left a message on your talk page. Wikipedia recently experienced a database malfunction, causing Tawkerbot2 to misidentify legitimate edits; hence the reversion of your edit(s) and the message. The bot has been temporarily disabled until the problems are rectified. Thanks. —Wayward Talk 18:54, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Embeth Davidtz

Hi, I noticed you were the one who majorly re-vamped her page. I'm just wondering, how do you know she is Jewish? It was never clear to me if she was or not, and I haven't seen it anywhere. Where did you read that she was? Mad Jack O'Lantern 01:35, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:VerskroeideAarde2.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:VerskroeideAarde2.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

[edit] Barnstar

The Original Barnstar
Awarded for outstanding additions to South African articles. Congratulations! Elf-friend 06:49, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

I dunno, barnstar seems to be some kind of American cultural thingie that has been incorporated into Wikipedia as the icon for its award system ... but I don't think it implies being the star of a barn though :-) ... just a good Wikipedia contributor.

[edit] South Africa - Full Presidential System

I have moved South Africa back to Semi-Presidential System. I agree that South Africa does not have a Prime Minister. However:

1. It does have a Deputy President, who is a Member of the National Assembly and Responsible to it - this is a characteristic of Prime Ministers. 2. The Ministers are Members of the National Assembly and Responsible it. 3. The Deputy President and Ministers are removable on a vote of non-confidence - this is a Parliamentary Feature.

In fact, Since the President is elected by the National Assembly the system is closer to Parliamentary than Semi-Presidential. It is only Semi-Presidential because the President once elected is immovable. I have left relevant quotes from the Constitution of South Africa on the talk place of List of countries by system of government.

If you wish to discuss matter further, please do not hesitate to leave a message on my talk page. Camhusmj38 18:19, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Order of Luthuli

I see you've changed the spelling from Luthuli to Lutuli. The official spelling of the name of the order, as per the Government Gazette, is Luthuli, with an "h" and, AFAIK, that's still the generally used spelling for the late Chief's surname.

I think the entry for the order should stick to the official spelling of the name.

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Shannon esra.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Shannon esra.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.
