May 2024[edit]

Hello, I'm Toddy1. I noticed that you recently removed content from Qonce without adequately explaining why. Your edit was most unhelpful - it deleted some words and the citation that supported them. If you read WP:VERIFY you will understand why deleting the citation was such a bad thing to do. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.-- Toddy1 (talk) 12:02, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There information provided was full of errors and went against not only our Oral history as the inhabitant clans of the former Caoe Colong, it also went against our established chief records(incwadi zobukhosi) by the likes of Dyani Tshatshu(Tzatzoe) Benjamin Lwando Mahashe (talk) 12:20, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I'm Toddy1. Your recent edit(s) to the page Qonce appear to have added incorrect information, so they have been reverted for now. Your edit changed a sentence that went:

"On 5 May 1877, the Cape Government of Prime Minister John Molteno..."

to

"On 5 May 1877, the Cape Government of Prime Minister John Knox Bokwe..."

John Charles Molteno was Prime Minister of the Cape Colony from 1872 to 1878; so it is clear that your edit introduced an error. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. -- Toddy1 (talk) 12:02, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

John knox Bokwe was the prime minister of the Cape Colony, particularly the kaffraria regions. He was the Presbyterian minister as the government of the time was a union between church and state. Benjamin Lwando Mahashe (talk) 12:17, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Benjamin Lwando Mahashe, please provide a "citation" for this claim. GeographicAccountant (talk) 13:23, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make unexplained changes to information on Wikipedia, as you did at Cape Colony. Greenman (talk) 16:47, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The citations that Benjamin Lwando Mahashe added as edit summaries to his edits to Cape Colony did not support the edits.^[1][2]-- Toddy1 (talk) 16:50, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What in the provided citations does not support the said edits?

The Cape administration was a government of church and state. John knox Bokwe(Nokwe) proper was a minister of the Scottish church at the time and also a native population registrar. Benjamin Lwando Mahashe (talk) 06:37, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

John Knox Bokwe (1855–1922): A model of creative tension in the late 19th and early 20th-century South Africa says that he was "a minister of the United Free Church of Scotland Mission in South Africa." Being a minister of the church is a different thing to being a minister of the government.
Thomas Gillespie Sr. is about an American man who lived in Rowan County North Carolina.

was the government of Great Briton and by extension Scotland not a government of church and state?

If the churvh was the government would that not by extension make it's ministers the ministers of government as we have today in this Federalized national socialist democratic system? Benjamin Lwando Mahashe (talk) 19:49, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No.-- Toddy1 (talk) 22:53, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

then you're either incompetent or part of the boer war foreign volunteers who helped exterminate the African Americans in 1898. Benjamin Lwando Mahashe (talk) 03:28, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop replacing good images with irrelevant images in articles. You did this (once again) to the article on James Stewart (missionary). Your edit has been reverted.-- Toddy1 (talk) 07:02, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove good images from infoboxes of articles giving spurious reasons. You did this to the article on David Livingstone. Your edit has been reverted.
