"It needs more links to other articles to help integrate it into the encyclopedia."[edit]

Just how many articles does it need to be linked to? I've linked a few already, but can easily do more if need be Aleksandar Bulovic' (talk) 10:30, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Serious Quality Issues with Reliablity[edit]

The reference to Facebook and peoples twitter accounts violate RS. The only shock is this has page (which seems to be a promotional piece for a non-notable campaign) is even in existence on Facebook. It suffers heavily from many quality issues. An article which seems to be trying to give a group notablity is of no use to Facebook. Please balance the article with quality sources. I might just do a request for comments WP:RFC. Take for example this ref [1] which is trying to piggyback off of a general protest but the article makes no mention to the group "Taking Back SA" So why is it there? It could be in a general article but why is it there? It creates a false authority. --Inayity (talk) 16:07, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Name Change[edit]

I am suggesting this article be changed to Occupy South Africa movement, which would include the broader overlook. As this article is trying to do. But because it is focused on one group (which is not that notable) it is turning into a stub. Comments appreciated. --Inayity (talk) 08:54, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Is this movement still active?[edit]

@Northamerica1000: Since you changed the article's first sentence from present tense to past tense, I'm still not sure if the Occupy South Africa movement has ended yet. How can we confirm that this movement is no longer active? Jarble (talk) 23:48, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
