[edit] Contributions to Apartheid-era history articles

Thank-you for your recent contributions to these articles. From your username, it seems that you are most likely Dr Anthony Turton, and as such a specialist in South African politics and recent history. If so, you are doubly welcome.

Note that you do not need to sign your name at the end of each contribution: The Wikimedia software saves every edit made to every article, along with who made it, so there will always be a record of your contributions. These can be accessed via the history tab at the top of each article.

Also, while, as a specialist, you are encouraged to contribute your knowledge to Wikipedia, please be careful of drawing on your own knowledge without citing your sources. Wikipedia has a fairly strong policy on contributing original research.

Anyway,I hope I haven't come across as being hostile. We try quite hard not to bite the newcomers here. If you're interested in articles on South Africa, you may want to consider joining Wikipedia:WikiProject_South_Africa. Have fun editing. -Kieran 22:08, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
