== Quality Improvement - This article needs YOU! South African Wars (1879–1915)'

The article in its current form has become a mess. The introduction section is particularly problematic containing numerous issues, including: typos, information irrelevant to a hat note section, long run on sentences with endless repetition of the same facts, subtle vandalism, and blatant bias. The rest of the article is a better but many of the same problems still occur. This is the result of many small edits through the years without much work on the article as a whole. I honestly think the quality of the article was better a few years ago than it is now.

I will begin cleaning up soon but I would like to ask other Wikipedians to help improve and actively maintain the quality of the article. This is one of the most important articles on South Africa, and probably the most important on South African history so it is vital that we keep it to the highest quality. Right now, I am afraid it does not come close to that standard. Let us look at this article globally and try to improve the article to a consistent quality that we can be proud of.

This submission needs to be completely deleted. Its very Euro-centric, making the ecounters with Europeans the most relevant markers. Its also racist in its post Apartheid highlights 2603:8081:9E01:5AA9:7988:50FC:756D:BB09 (talk) 20:55, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, The abbreviation of the New political party by Zuma does not mean MK of the ANC military launched 1961 is something else not the spear of the nation ,but the pronounced abbreviation is the same but not the same meaning description and definition . So by than the IEC knows and the government of the people that's rules by the people since 1994 that there must and shall be more opposition political parties those can participate in elections campains the ruling party does not have problems about that since the beginning of first-time opposition political parties of that time as itself allows and this is a lesson to many . So be proud to rule by The ANC because you can raise your voices and you can help them do your work and implement your Ideas. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.113.174.229 (talk) 21:52, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
