Hello, I'm Rosaece. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Pieter Groenewald, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Rosaece ♡ talk ♡ contributions 08:53, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, please be sure to sign your posts (but never when editing articles). There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 19:24, 24 August 2025 (UTC)

I de-prodded this article. With a few clicks, I found and added several sources. Thank you for bringing this to the community's attention. Bearian (talk) 00:42, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Lefcentreright. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Helen Zille seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.  Lefcentreright  Discuss  18:36, 4 October 2025 (UTC)

Hi, please stop reverting my edit on Kaffir (racial term). Your Wayback Machine citation is not sufficient. The fact that its usage is currently legally actionable as crimen injuria under South African law underlines its status as one of the most highly sensitive and potentially offensive words in the English-speaking world, and is definitely not commonly used.

You really need to discuss things on talkpages. I see a lot of content removals based on your assessment that a given source, i.e. Afrisource, is unreliable, but with no prior discussion. You might be right, but you provide no basis for assessing your reasoning. Edit summaries aren't enough. Acroterion (talk) 13:35, 24 November 2025 (UTC)

Victory Research’s polling should not be removed solely on the basis that the organisation was commissioned, as commissioning alone does not invalidate a source under Wikipedia’s reliability guidelines. Many widely cited opinion-polling firms (including commercial and political consultancies) routinely conduct commissioned research, yet their data are still included provided the methodology is transparent and the findings verifiable. Victory Research publishes full methodology, sample size, and weighting information, allowing independent readers to evaluate the reliability of the results. Excluding the polling on the grounds that the firm “supports campaigns” applies a standard not consistently enforced across articles and introduces viewpoint bias by selectively disqualifying one side’s data. A neutral approach is to retain the polling with proper attribution and context (‘according to a Victory Research poll commissioned by…’), allowing readers to judge its significance, rather than removing it entirely.
