Johannesburg edits[edit]

Thanks for your edits to the Johannesburg article! Are you, perchance, South African? If you are, or even if you're not but are interested in South Africa-related articles, please take a look at the South Africa WikiProject and the Bush Telegraph. Either way, welcome, and I hope you stay! Páll (Die pienk olifant) 17:06, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I am South African. Thanks, I will check out the South Africa project...

Stellenbosch to bid for Wikimania 2012![edit]

Hi Anselan!

The nascent South African Wikimedia chapter has decided to bid to host Wikimania in Stellenbosch, South Africa in 2012. This would be the first Wikimania in South Africa, and would be a great advertisement for our country. Please take a look at meta:Wikimania_2012/Bids/Stellenbosch. If you can add to the discussion, please do. If you feel that you are able to do anything to help, please join the Wikimedia South Africa mailing list and let us know. Even simple messages of support are valued!

Best regards,

David Richfield

Wiki Loves Monuments in South Africa[edit]

Dear WikiProject South Africa Wikipedians

This is an urgent call from Wikimedia South Africa. We are currently working hard on the South African side of the exciting international photographic competition, Wiki Loves Monuments [1]. We have been planning to make this national competition really take off, but to do so, we need your help! The competition starts on the 1st September, and we need your help now! If you are interested in being part of or can help the Wiki Loves Monuments national organising team, then please join here [ http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012_in_South_Africa]. If you have limited time, but want to help out at an upload marathon at a heritage site near you, please then contact either Lourie [louriepieterse@yahoo.com] or Isla [islahf@africacentre.net]. We look forward to hearing from you!"

Kind regards Lourie
