[edit] Stubs needing work
- Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife - If someone could put more detailed information, especially on conservation in KZN in general (eg: Rhino projects)
News24 - This online news service needs some TLC
- All the SA language pages need work: all eleven official languages, and also all sorts of non-official languages. Very little is published on most of the unofficial ones (and even many of the official ones). But readers who are mother-tongue speakers/native speakers of English, Afrikaans, any of the nine official African languages, any of the Indian languages, and all of the other non-standard varieties/dialects, and especially those who may have direct experience of non-standard dialects (e.g. who know about speech communities embedded within other communities): these would ALL be welcome to contribute to the SA languages pages. Their knowledge is invaluable, especially as if it has no published source. Of course, all such claims would have to be verified later, but in the meantime, such first-hand experience will push forward the boundaries of linguistic knowledge in South Africa.
[edit] Larger pages needing work
Quite a few ministers and ministries on Ministers of the South African Government are still redlink, contributions would be appreciated!
[edit] Other suggested work
- Looking at "What links here" for SA-related articles can often turn up uncategorised SA articles. Categorising them (even simply as Category:South Africa for now) will put them somewhere where they can be accessed for improvement.
- South African Collaboration of the Week
- A few South African (or ralated) topics that could get someone started
- I've started the Category:Media of South Africa, with an accompanying list, but I haven't even started on the newspapers and radio stations. -Kierano
