Hello, I'm Greenman. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Xhosa language, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please don't change sourced information without finding a better source. Greenman (talk) 09:20, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

Good day mr Greenman I see that it is changed how do I make sure that it won't be changed back? Thambalwam23 (talk) 23:08, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Thambalwam23: Please read the guidelines above, such as referencing for beginners. Continuing to change figures when the source gives a different figure is bordering on vandalism. If you have updated figures from a better source, please include the sourcing. Greenman (talk) 07:36, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Khayelitsha, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Please stop replacing sourced content with unsourced content.

Sources

You cannot use your own online claims as sources. Also, you appear to have forged data in several articles, which makes me suspect you may be a vandal. My response is that anything you edit likely needs to be reverted as fake/vandalism. If you want to make changes that stick, please read the link above and especially WP:RS.

Also, swapping the order of Xhosa and Zulu is petty and suggests you are here for personal grievance, not to contribute. — kwami (talk) 23:55, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

Good day, Mr or Mrs kwami we have estimated the Xhosa speakers of 2023 they were 8 million speakers in 2011 which is 12 years ago I don't think am a Vanda so please assist me if I'm doing it wrong on both tribes We are on writing an article of African tribes we want Africans to know who they are We don't write lies nor fake please assist us if you can Kindly.

Where has this information been published? I'm sorry, but adding your personal research to wikipedia is a violation of WP:OR. I don't doubt that the population has grown considerably in the last 12 years, and it would be lovely to have up-to-date numbers, but we need to be able to verify that it is reliable information.

(Also, one of your edits claimed that Sepedi is also known as Bapedi. But your source used that for the people. If you are at all familiar with Bantu languages, you shouldn't confuse the noun classes like that.) — kwami (talk) 00:33, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

I'm sorry, Bapedi means People of tribe Sepedi or pedi is the language of the tribe. Thambalwam23 (talk) 06:48, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

IsiBhaca language and Bhaca people

Hi @Thambalwam23 Please kindly note that isiBhaca language is not extinct and it is still spoken in many villages in Mount Frere and Mzikhulu, while in school they are thought IsiXhosa and IsiZulu this does not mean their language is dead.. Kindly refrain from changing IsiBhaca information on Wiki Pages. A large number of Bhaca people is found in KZN not in the Eastern Cape. In the eastern only one town has Bhaca people and in KZN we have Umzimkhulu, Ixopho, Bulwer and they are not Xhosa speakers. 41.145.195.201 (talk) 15:56, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
