One of your project's articles has been selected for improvement![edit]
 Hello, |
Looking for a collaborator[edit]
I started Draft:Food security in South Africa some time ago, but stopped actively working on it recently. Thus far I have a collection of sources and a basic article structure. I'm looking for someone who would be interested in working on it with me. I've looked at several other "Food security in <Country>" articles and noticed that they are frequently rated as important articles by both the Food and respective Country Wikiprojects.

Edenburg & Rivonia in Sandton[edit]
Hi, People!
If we look at the Edenburg, Gauteng & Rivonia articles, it seems like the two suburbs are "one and the same area"!
Is this true? And if it is not, why is the writing like this in both articles?
How would you recommend the introductions be edited? GeographicAccountant (talk) 20:56, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
Requested move at Talk:Neopaganism in South Africa#Requested move 24 March 2023[edit]

Good article reassessment for Angolan Civil War[edit]
Angolan Civil War has been nominated for a good article reassessment. If you are interested in the discussion, please participate by adding your comments to the reassessment page. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status may be removed from the article. Onegreatjoke (talk) 18:42, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
Project-independent quality assessments[edit]
Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class= parameter to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

Johannesburg Demographics[edit]
Hi, People!
I left a concern at Talk:Johannesburg about the infobox content.
May somebody read what I wrote & reply. Thanks.
