message: I am recommending merging the short articles found within Category:Suburbs_of_Bulawayo to this article as they are not large enough yet to justify a one or two-line article on their own. 
I would recommend placing them under a new "Neighborhoods" section, and then deleting the category that holds the articles.

message: :Image:Bulawayo Coat of Arms.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 16:04, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

message: The picture that you have labelled "Jacaranda" is not of Jacaranda flowers, but of Petria flowers. There is a wonderful photograph of Jacaranda flowers on your own website, at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Jacaranda_in_Blossom.jpg.
Perhaps you would like to correct this error by replacing the current picture by the one at the above link. 
Sorry, I am not signing this by using the method you described, because I don't understand  how it works;  all I want is to bring this one error to your attention.

message: In Rudd Concession we find Rudd_Concession#cite_note-bulawayo-11 which says :-
: "Bulawayo" was not one place. Like the Zulus, the Matabele did not have a permanent "capital" in the Western sense; instead, they had a royal kraal, which relocated whenever a king died, or as soon as local sources of water and food ran out. Whenever a move took place, the old kraal was burned. The name "Bulawayo", applied to every Matabele royal town, dated back to the 1820s, when it was used by Shaka to refer to his own royal town in Zululand. Lobengula's first Bulawayo was founded in 1870, and lasted until 1881, when he moved to the site of the modern city of the same name
This conflicts with the present article. Wizzy…☎ 12:53, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
