Wikimedia South Africa Engagement

[edit]

Good Day Fellow Wikimedian

I write to invite you to a Wikimedia ZA birthday celebration which will take place on 22 February 2025 at the Goethe Institut in Parktown, Johannesburg and Code Bridge in Cape Town as well as online if you will not be able to join in person.

Wikimedia South Africa is a chapter founded on 25 February 2012 after being approved as a chapter by the Wikimedia Foundation on 26 March 2011. Our chapter seeks to promote local awareness of the projects and their proper academic use, encourage translation efforts into local languages and support the creation of local free knowledge and media

We are always looking to support South Africans or Africans in the promotion of free knowledge and to promote the enhancement of local knowledge in local languages on wikipedia and online for the benefit of all.

As a chapter engagement is an important strategic initiative and we would encourage you to check out the chapter on the links below. Links:

Website: https://www.wmza.org/

Each month the Chapter hosts In-Person Meetups in Cape Town and Johannesburg where fellow Wikimedians and newcomers meet to enjoy refreshments and snacks and to discuss Wikipedia, Wikimedia South Africa initiatives and to isolate community needs.

In February our next Chapter Meetups will occur in person in Johannesburg at the Goethe Institut:

and in Cape Town at the Codebridge offices:

The Meetup will occur on Saturday the 22nd February 2025 between 10:30am and 12:30pm.

This meetup will be special as we will be celebrating the 13th Anniversary of Wikimedia South Africa and the 24th Anniversary of Wikipedia. There will be refreshments and entertainment.

We will be reflecting on our past year as well as our plans for the Chapter in 2025 and would love for you to participate. If you are able to attend in person please RSVP so we can appropriately plan by completing the form by 12th February 2025:

[edit]

Hi there - Wikipedia relies on reliable sources to verify information, especially about living people. You didn't provide a source for your changes to the Andrew Rabutla article, and I couldn't find one either. If you have a reliable source please let me know and we can change the article. Please let me know if you have any questions. GiantSnowman 19:47, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@GiantSnowman I created a category for Balobedu people and added it to the people mentioned under notable people on the Lobedu people page Mcwamcwa (talk) 21:26, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
We need an actual source - WP:WIKIPEDIAISNOTARELIABLESOURCE. GiantSnowman 19:40, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Who are the most overlooked and interesting Women in Red? We've no idea,
    but we're putting together our list of the 100 most interesting ex-Women in Red.
    We are creating the list to celebrate 10 years of Women in Red and we hope to present it at Wikimania.
    We are ignoring the obvious, so do you have a name or subject we should consider?
    Can you suggest a DYK style hook?
    If you are shy about editing that page, you are welcome to add ideas and comments on the talk page.
