Talk:Highveld

message: I have rewritten the "Location and description" section of the article, as the version it replaces was contradictory and confusing (to my mind). Please check that you agree with what I have said about the boundaries of the Highveld (as I understand them to be), as well as the overall description of the Highveld terrain. I am sure it can be improved further. Jkoeslag (talk) 05:05, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: Would it be possible to draw in the Great Escarpment to the east of the Highveld on the excellent map that accompanies this article? After all, it was probably the early explorers, adventurers, traders and fortune seekers, traveling inland from Maputo to the Witwatersrand who had to climb the Great Escarpment from the "Lowveld" (now mostly Kruger National Park) up on to the "Highveld" at the top of the escarpment, who almost certainly coined the terms Low- and High-veld. The Dictionary of South African English (Oxford University Press, Cape Town, 1991) defines the "Highveld" as being restricted to "the high-lying regions of the Transvaal", with a quotation from H.C. Bosman (1977) saying that "Kleinberg was not very far from Willemsdorp in terms of miles. But Willemsdorp was highveld. It stood on the edge of the Great Plateau."

Talk:Carolina, South Africa

message: Quick Question... The article states that Carolina is on the "Johannesburg to Eswatini Route".
Now, Correct me if I am wrong; isn't the main JHB to Eswatini route supposed to be the N17 National Route?
I'm failing to understand, as from what I know, the main routes to the east from Gauteng are the N17 and the N4 (& not any "regional or provincial route" in-between them). GeographicAccountant (talk) 21:07, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

However, I don't see the benefit of having a category which lists every single suburb listed in the Gauteng map book?  I can't see most of these ever graduating above stub...surely many should be deleted, maybe leaving some bigger suburbs or those mentioned in the suburbs article, like Sandton?  In addition, if we decide to keep ALL the suburbs, then we need a Johannesburg Suburbs Stub and a separate Johannesburg Stub...I came here to find Johannesburg articles that need work but am not going to wade through all the suburbs to find them  PappaG 11:04, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Clanwilliam, South Africa

message: This article has taken the primary name "Clanwilliam". In my opinion, this name should be reserved for the barony of the same name in Tipperary, Ireland. Two criteria may be used:
:1. What a reasonable person would expect to find by searching for "Clanwilliam".
:2. Strict chronology.
By 1, the population of the barony (encompassing many towns) outstrips that of the South African town. It is more likely therefore, that the barony would engerder more searches.
By 2, the barony was created before the founding of any other town. All other references, whether to towns, rugby clubs or fish species, owe their origin to the barony.
From the above two, it's clear that the barony should have primacy.Laurel Lodged (talk) 20:31, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that between the Irish barony, the Canadian municipality, and the South African town, there's no reasonable way to pick a primary article, so the primary article should be a disambiguation page linking to the other three (and the various other Clanwilliam-titled articles). How would that work for you? - htonl (talk) 21:16, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I would add: it seems to me that, given that Irish baronies seem to be primarily of historical interest (except for land registration), the barony is somewhat less important than its population would otherwise suggest. - htonl (talk) 21:21, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The issue is primarily about what a hypothetical reader is likely to consider the primary topic. As an Irish ed. I was not aware of the South African or Australian iterations and expect that most Irish eds would wish to be directed to the barony article, notwithstanding that its interest is primarily historic. I think treating the dab as the primary article the best solution under the circumstances. RashersTierney (talk) 21:45, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Similarly, a South African reader is going to expect the SA town, and a Canadian reader will probably expect the Manitoban municipality. I have moved the SA town away from being the primary topic, and (for the moment) Clanwilliam redirects to Clanwilliam (disambiguation). In a minute I'm going to request a move of the disambig page to the primary title. - htonl (talk) 22:05, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

This article appears to have been edited by someone who is trying to sell the image of Clarens as an "ideal getaway" to the public.

Category talk:Private schools in West Sussex

message: Necrothesp - I see that you've deleted the Category "West Sussex" which I added.  When I added this I did actually consider whether it was superfluous and decided that it could be useful.
I know that it is there in the hierachy "W.Sx > Schools in ... > Public Schools in ...".  
However, i felt that anyone browsiing the "West Sussex" category would not immediately appreciate that there is a specific category for "Public Schools".  I, for one, on seeing the category "Schools" would immediately dismiss it as of no interest (to me), not appreciating that there might be another more specific category of interest 'hiding' below it.  Hence, I know that the extra categorisation is theoretically unnecessary as you say, but I consider it of practical use.

message: Transported here where it appears to belong: "Hi, this is the first time I try to edit something. I wish to make a correction to a statement in the introduction, but by clicking on edit it takes me to the artcle: what needs to be corrected is the statement that the "tuishuise" were houses for craftsmen: these houses belonged to the farmers from the district and they used them when they came to town by oxwagon, mostly for the quarterly communion service in the Dutch Reform Church. Originally they camped next to the oxwagons, but as some became more prosperous, they built these "tuishuise". The question: Where do you stay? in Afrikaans is: Waar gaan jy tuis?, hence the "tuishuise" for those who did not camp." -- Khazar (talk) 17:03, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Groenkloof

message: It's important to note that the original page heading picture is possibly taken from a view from Herbert Baker street and not actually of Groenkloof it would be more appropriate as a picture of the neighboring suburb Lucas Rand of which it IS a picture off. I have moved it to the gallery because it can add "some" value in the form of showing the views of the city that make this a popular suburb. 
The unique white Jacarandas are only in Herbert Baker street in the country. These Jacarandas are albino Jacaranda trees given to the Pretoria municipality by the Calafornia government in the 1950s. Herbert Baker street is the only street in the country with these Jacarandas and this makes Groenkloof a tourist attraction with a lot of tourist buses coming to see Herbert Baker street specifically. A header picture showing the White Jacarandas, Herbert Baker Street and one of the many luxury cars in the neigbourhood is appropriate. --Deanerasmus2006 (talk) 19:22, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

However, Makhanda (prophet) cites his death date as Christmas Day 1820, or even 9 August 1820. Only some of these seem to be sourced particularly well (I am not fully convinced the monthly journal of Umkhonto we Sizwe is a credible source in this case – and it says Christmas Day 1819!
