Talk:Stellenbosch University

message: I'm not sure that Heinz Winkler and now-popular rugby players should be included in the notable alumni list - these people will most likely not be remembered in more than 10 years time - and wikipedia shouldn't document the future.
: It doesn't really matter to me;  I don't think any University is defined / made famous by its alumni in any case.  But it does provide links to some current topics —  I think the links can be changed/updated in the future, when somebody else having their 15 minutes of fame appears. Dewet 11:20, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: I'm more willing to believe that the term Maties come from "maatjies" and not "tamatie".

message: :Image:University of Stellenbosch crest.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 this Wikipedia article 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 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.

replies: text: who is "we"? The background to my question is that shared accounts aren't allowed on the English Wikipedia. --Slashme (talk) 13:42, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Copyright problem removed 

message: Some genius confused (1) Hein Grosskopf (ex MK and ANC) with (2) his father Prof HJ Grosskopf of Stellenbosch Dept of Journalism and (3) one of his uncles Heinrich and Ernst (Erni) Grosskopf, both judges of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of SA.
For the record, Hein was not a Matie nor a judge nor in Botswana except very briefly in transit to Zambia in his ANC days. As is clear from his TRC testimony, he is a social worker and lives in England.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ernstbg (talk • contribs) 22:41, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

message: It would be great if the people who update and maintain the University's page could also help with updating the Stellenbosch University Choir's page as well.
I've basically built that page up myself, but don't really have a clue how Wikipedia works and don't really know how their overly-complicated copyright regulations work. Every time I upload photos, they get deleted.
I think the university can afford to employ someone who is dedicated to updating relevant info on the web, including Wikipedia. That person should then also look at the choir's page.
Thank you.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.133.226.147 (talk) 21:46, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
