A cookie for you!

Thanks for your work! Would love to chat about Afrikaans with you. I need a fellow Afrikaans wikibuddy :) Bezuidenhout (talk) 17:35, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In contemporary Africa the Afrikaner (sub group Boer) identity which was previously defined by the preconception orthodoxy of *New National Party (still in intertwine either Democratic Alliance or the African National Congress) is ever evolving. Interesting times ahead, nevertheless I will like to invite you, if you’re interested, on a page considering the political, cultural identity of our ilk. That said we need various editors to write up a complete, coherent page. The sandbox page link can be found at the South African page portal.

User warning

Your recent editing history at South Africa shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Note that the three-revert rule applies per person, not per account, so your use of the User:Vrijburger account doesn't exempt you. -Bridget Greenwood (talk) 03:59, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

October 2013

Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did with this edit to South Africa. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Jim1138 (talk) 04:22, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
