[edit] Reply

Hey Newydd,

I forgot about the Namaqua, thanks for correcting me. I was thinking about the Khoikhoi of the Cape region (see map). I've now reverted my edit. Cheers! —Khoikhoi 19:01, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Khoekhoen

Hey Newydd,

Well yeah, both Britannica and Encarta say it means "men of men" in the Khoikhoi language. To clarify, you're saying it just means "people speaking the Khoekhoe language"? Are you sure that's the literal translation? For example, khoisan.org says the following:

Khoekhoen = Khoikhoi = Kwena is a general name which the herding people of the Cape used for themselves. The word can be translated to mean 'the real people' or 'men of men', meaning 'we people with domestic animals' as opposed to the Sonqua or Bushmen who had none.

Khoikhoi 16:22, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Ok, that sounds fair to me. We can say, "coming from the root khoe, meaning 'man'". Or is "khoi" a better transliteration? Khoikhoi 02:38, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] classification under apartheid

do u have any info on the khoisan under apartheid? i read they were sometimes clased as colored to create more tension between them and zulu people.--HalaTruth(ሀላካሕ) 23:39, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Then Xhosas, but i know there was already tension because the Khoisan were victims of Bantu Expansion, so Europeans in the divide and conquere thingie needed to further this riff, i have heard this not from text books but from many South African people, its like common local knowledge, even today people seem focused on "she is a colored, she is a black" and this is the entire racial divide, even children have this conversation "i am part colored, i am not black"--HalaTruth(ሀላካሕ) 12:05, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DAT/LAT change in Tsez

Thanks for changing them. Indeed this is also how I usually gloss them when glossing Tsez texts; I was still a little inconsistend when writing the article. So: DAT in syntactical positions (usually for persons) and LAT for the locative meaning. "Real" latives are used on some adverbial nouns that denote positions like "below" or "here". When I'm back at my office, I will find you a glossed phrase with a Lative suffix. — N-true 13:22, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Richtersveld1.jpg

Hi. When you uploaded Image:Richtersveld1.jpg, you did not specify complete source and copyright information. Another user subsequently tagged it with {{GFDL-presumed}} and, for some time, it has existed on Wikipedia under the assumption that you created the image and you agreed to license it under the GFDL. This assumption, however well-meaning, is not legally sufficient and the tag is being phased out. Images using it are being deleted.

This image has been tagged for deletion and will be deleted in one week if adequate copyright information is not provided.

If you, personally, are the author of this content, meaning that you took the photograph yourself or you created the chart yourself (and it does not use any clipart that you did not create), please retag the image with a free image copyright tag that correctly describes your licensing intentions, usually {{GFDL-self}} or {{PD-self}}. Please also make sure if you have not already done so that you write a good description of what the image depicts, when you took the photo, and other important details. This will allow Wikipedia to continue using the image.

If you did not create the image or if it is derived from the copyrighted works of others, please keep in mind that most images on the internet are copyrighted and are not suitable for use on Wikipedia. Wikipedia respects the copyrights of others and does not use images unless we know that they have been freely licensed. Any creative work is automatically copyrighted, even if it lacks a copyright notice. Unless the copyright holder has specifically disclaimed their rights to the image and released it under the GFDL or another compatible license, we cannot use it. If you did not create the image, and cannot make the image compliant with Wikipedia:Non-free content, simply do nothing and it will be deleted in a week. All other non-free images must follow these rules.

Please feel free to contact me on my talk page or leave a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions with any questions you may have. Thank you. Aksibot 07:29, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] World Heritage Site

Please note that specifically area of the Richtersveld Community Conservancy [1] was declared a World Heritage Site. The National Park is not even in the WHS - specifically because of mining activities within the boundaries of the park. The article at present gives the impression that the RNP = the Richtersveld WHS. The conservancy is similar in area to the RNP, but just to the south - see map at [2].
