This McTrixie:Talk Comment describes what I do on the Wikipedia:
Well, sorry, I understand what you are saying; I have had some unpleasant experiences with VfD and Speedy Deletion people here in the past and am perhaps sensitive; I appreciate that care should be taken when writing. You say that you have written and/or started many articles in the area; I am someone who doesn't really have what it takes to write full articles at this point on the subjects involved. I often find that criticism sometimes comes from people who are perfectly obviously anticipating that I will be exercising a full academic presence in another's area of expertise; I would be worried too if it looked like a parvenu was about to create a massive amount of content. Which I am not. I am pretty good at taking lots of major companies, and various other subjects, that have no Wikipedia presence whatsoever and writing short articles that are good-quality and won't be difficult for an expert to make a true article out of. Viz, Kumba Resources, Petronet, many company articles at the Africa New Article board and Russian companies at the Russia New Article Board and listed at my McTrixie page. For a company like Kumba, which seems to me to be as important in South Africa as IBM or Coca Cola is in the US, to have no footprint whatsoever, is a problem. Easily solved by reading the company site, annual report, associated materials, and writing, linking and infoboxing to create a good-looking short article/long stub. So, to surmise, I understand, and when I receive criticism on the Wikipedia it is usually from someone who is expecting me to be writing full-length articles; I should be used by now to being treated like a professional but it takes me by surprise sometimes when I am doing "support work". --McTrixie 18:43, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

In re: Afrikaans:from Music of South Africa#2000s:
In the new millennium, free of the baggage of apartheid, Afrikaans music has grown in popularity. A major addition to this style of music is Fokofpolisiekar, a Cape Town-based punk rock band. Their positive move away from the stigma attached to Afrikaans culture has attracted a lot of publicity in South Africa and has given them a considerable amount of fame.
In re: African language(s):
From Atlas of African Affairs by Ieuan LL Griffiths, Witwatersrand University Press, 1993, Section 46:Languages::
"Up to 2000 languages are today spoken in Africa, which 'displays a greater degree of overall linguistic complexity than any other continent'. The distribution of languages is complex with areas of linguistic overlap and fragmentation and at any one place, 'layers' of language, each fulfilling a particular purpose. Africans' linguistic ability is remarkable. The barely literate house servant at Makarere would speak to her family in RuToro, to neighbors in Luganda, to traders in Swahili, to her employers in English, and, to her employers' amazement and near-monoglot embarrassment, to their visitor in fluent French; her former husband was Rwandaise!"
