Talk:Internet in South Africa

message: "early on in the transition from the apartheid-era rule of South Africa's National Party to multi-party, multiracial government under the African National Congress" - Is this relevant for this article? Bernd Jendrissek (talk) 12:05, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I also fail to see the relevance of the political reference. Therefore, deletion is . --User:DiscipleOfKnowledge (talk)  03:46, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The political commentry remains, very odd.  Perhaps mention of the early networks that preceeded the SA internet would be valuable.  Also the move to commercial use of the internet was held back for quite a while and hobby users had access via UUCP and USENET gateways before the co.za domains came into use.  My research has shown that BKSINC.co.za was the first commercial domain registered, the company still exists but have a new domain. Idyllic press (talk) 12:26, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

text: I have added a bit of balance to the political commentry but I still think none of it is relevant to the page and should all be removed. Idyllic press (talk) 08:28, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Internet in South Africa's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "ITU":
From Discrete cosine transform: 
From Internet in Africa: ITU (2007)
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 19:28, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
