I'd appreciate some help with reviewing my article

I've just submitted an article for review (Draft:Ike_Moriz). I'd very much appreciate any support from the SA Wikiproject! Thank you Awellmann (talk) 13:24, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

@Awellmann: Since you moved the page to Ike Moriz yourself, I removed the WP:AFC review template. Note that this article already exists in the German and Afrikaans Wikipedia. If you read those languages, you might find useful information that can be incorporated in the English version. If you or for that matter any other editor includes any direct or near-direct translations from the articles in those languages, please use the {{Translated page}} template on this article's talk page. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 14:29, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

@Davidwr: Thank you so much for your support and all the advice! Much appreciated! --Awellmann (talk) 14:42, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

First women MP(s) in Namibia

Hello. I'm compiling a list of the first women MPs in each country, but have been unable to find the answer for Namibia. It looks like it was during the South-West Africa period (hence asking here). The Inter-Parliamentary Union claim it was 1989, but I have found references to Anna Frank being a member of the Legislative Assembly in the early 1980s. If anyone can point me to a definitive source, it would be much appreciated. Cheers, Number 57 18:24, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Biodiversity of South Africa

I have been working on this topic and related articles recently. There is a navbox covering all the relevant articles I have noticed so far, including redlinks for articles yet to be created but likely to be suitable. Anyone who is interested is welcome to comment and suggest changes to the navbox content or layout, and to improve or suggest improvements for any of the articles. Creating some species articles to reduce the redlink count of the lists of flowering plants of South Africa would be really useful, there are a lot of endemic and indigenous plants with no coverage.

Cape Town navboxes

At present there are several (7 listed) navboxes for Cape Town and subtopics. Some could be usefully combined, and in many cases also updated, while others are very peripheral (Template:Cape Town City F.C. squad). I propose to combine those most central to the topic and where appropriate, expand the resulting navbox to include more of the articles about the place, and make them easier to find, thereby making them more useful to the interested reader and editor alike. Articles about people will generally be excluded except for functionaries like the mayor and others where notability is directly related to association with the City.

I intend to name the navbox Template:Cape Town, and combine the approximate contents of Template:Cape Town, Template:City of Cape Town Metropolitan Municipality, Template:Cape Town freeways, Template:City of Cape Town government, Template:Cape Town radio and Template:Cape Town Skyscrapers, but not Template:Cape Town City F.C. squad, along with other relevant links currently not included in a navbox for the City. The revised template will be normally autocollapsed with collapsible groups, which can be set to open the most appropriate group when the navbox is manually opened, but also allows the other collapsible groups to be opened manually by a second click. An example of the general structure can be seen in use in the Biodiversity of South Africa set of articles

Your constructive comments and suggestions are solicited. · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 06:17, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

No comments in a week. I will assume there are no objections and make the change. Cheers, · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 10:53, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

@Pbsouthwood: I only saw this now and I agree with your proposal. I think it is a great idea. Best, Lefcentreright ^{Talk | Contribs | Global} 11:01, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

Lefcentreright, Glad to hear it. Cheers, · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 11:10, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

Draft:Banking in South Africa

I have started a draft article about an overview of banking in South Africa. However my knowledge of the financial sector is very limited so I'd appreciate contributions by others. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 19:43, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
