Apartheid sidebars

edit

I see you've got two different apartheid sidebars on this article, but the article itself isn't in either of them. It isn't in Category:Apartheid either. Typically, you only want nav templates on an article if it's actually in the template - have a look at WP:SIDEBAR for some guidance. You can add the article to the templates yourself if you think it belongs there. If you're not sure if this article belongs in any of those, you might be able to get opinions from interested editors by posting on the talk pages of the templates in question. -- asilvering (talk) 06:59, 27 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the advice, I’ll look into that. SunTunnels (talk) 14:20, 27 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

1. Well-written:
  1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.
  • I notice that the suffix -ise is inconsistent. A South African-related article should use South African English. See MOS:TIES.
  1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.
  • As per WP:SYNTH and MOS:OP-ED, it sometimes isn't needed to include words like however, though, although, furthermore. Sometimes it's OK if the content is mentioned in the source, but if it isn't it may be seen as slight editorializing. This is something to keep in mind when editing.
2. Verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check:
  2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.
  • (some sources place the café on Dock Road) I think using an WP:EXPLNOTE would be better here, (if required, add additional sources which mention the café on Dock Road). Apart from that, the ref layout is good.
  2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).
  • Ref 5 is WP:THESIS, I will look in to this later. Articles should rely on secondary sources as much as possible.
  • Burdened by race: Coloured identities in southern Africa appears to be an ebook, hence why it should use Template:Citebook
  • What is eisa.org.za and what makes it a reliable source?
  2c. it contains no original research.
  • No uncited content. I don't have access to the book sources and sources with no links but I'm asuming good faith... I will begin the check soon.
  2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism.
  • Earwig spots no copyvio issues.
3. Broad in its coverage:
  3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.
  3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
  4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
  • Yes
  5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
  • Article is stable with no edit wars, content disputes, etc.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
  6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.
  •  Y
  6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.
  •  Y
  7. Overall assessment.
