Talk:Stellenbosch

message: A gymnasium which was known as het Stellenbossche Gymnasium was established in 1866. In 1874 some higher classes became Victoria College and then in 1918 University of Stellenbosch. The first men's hostel to be established in Stellenbosch was Wilgenhof. In 1909 an old boy of the school, Paul Roos, captain of the first team to be called the Springboks, was invited to become the sixth rector of the school. He remained rector till 1940. On his retirement the school's name was changed to Paul Roos Gymnasium.
-It almost sounds like US was renamed to Paul Roos Gym !? Wouldn't it be more prudent to keep to a more structured time line when compiling historical paragraphs ? purefreak (talk) 08:43, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  This part is very misleading 

message: Gregorydavid, I'd really like to know where you get your information. I have never heard anyone claim Stellenbosch was also named after van der stel's wife (who is called Johanna Jacoba Six). --Janto 14:59, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Hi Janto,
Yes, I went back and contributed the info I found on Johanna Jacoba Six and I see you are passionate about Stellenbosch. If so then I am sure you will agree that some of the sections need to be re-written to improve overall result..

thread_title:  Content on Stellenbosch 

message: Today I removed this content:
"Until recently the wealthy wine growing nature of the area meant that it had a large Gini coefficient, although this is changing."
While there may be some truth in the statement I hav enot seen any data to back up the claim. Also I think Stellenbosch has been unfairly singled out as the only town on Wikipedia that is linked directly to the Gini coefficient article.
All sorts of means were resorted to by other wine farmers to compete with cape wines.

thread_title: [[WP:SAFRICA|WikiProject South Africa]] assessment

message: Stellenbosch, along with the neighbouring town of Franschhoek (to the east) and the hamlets of Pniel and Dwarsrivier (to the east) and Klapmuts (to the north), today forms the Greater Stellenbosch Municiple area. Stellenbosch is autonomous, and does NOT form part of the greater Cape Town Metropolitan area. The statement in the second para is incorrect.
