[edit]I've moved the "Kennedy Road, Eastern Cape" entry to redirect to "Kennedy Road, Durban" because, well, both this particular Kennedy Road, and Durban in general, aren't in the Eastern Cape, but in KwaZulu-Natal.
I took out the preceding sentence as it was so obviously POV--Kr4ft (talk) 06:59, 26 January 2009 (UTC) "The Kennedy Road settlement has been terrorized for years by the racist, violent and often outrightly criminal policing of the notorious Supt. Glen Nayager of the Sydenham Police Station. His activities have extended to having himself filmed while torturing members of the community.[1] perhaps you could write it a bit dirfferentely....ie no notoriously.(that word itself means your local and hold a viewpoint).....--Kr4ft (talk) 07:01, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
[edit]Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

Hello! I'll be taking a look at this article for the January 2022 GAN backlog drive. If you haven't already signed up, please feel free to join in! Although QPQ is not required, if you're feeling generous, I also have a list of GA nominations of my own right here.
Good Article review progress box

Infobox and lede
[edit]- Since ANC isn't mentioned again in the lede, the acronym can be removed
- If it's OK I'd rather keep ANC since the party is so well-known under that name Mujinga (talk) 12:52, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
History
[edit]- "people have lived there" → "the site has been occupied"
- Comma after "Various attempts to force people off the land were resisted"
- went with semi-colon on rephrase Mujinga (talk) 12:55, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
- "were resisted" → "were met with resistance"
- Lowercase "City" in "by the late 1980s the City"
The Kennedy Road Development Committee (KRDC) was pressuring local councillors to improve living conditions
Can you give a specific date or range for this? And for the O'Sullivan film?- 2005 added for both Mujinga (talk) 12:58, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
2005 road blockade
[edit]- "When people" → "When the inhabitatns of Kennedy Road"
- "protst" → "protest"
- "This second march led to visits"
September 2009 violence
[edit]- Maybe rename section to "attack" in accordance with the specific article about it
- good point Mujinga (talk) 13:08, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
- Delink Abahlali baseMjondolo and African National Congress here, as both were linked above
- done, the AbM link was to Abahlali baseMjondolo (membership & structures) but doesn't seem needed Mujinga (talk) 13:08, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
- "2 people" → "two people" per MOS:NUMERAL
- ""grave concern about reports of organized intimidation and threats to members of advocacy group, Abahlali baseMjondolo."" → ""grave concern about reports of organized intimidation and threats to members of advocacy group, Abahlali baseMjondolo"." per MOS:LQ
Recent events
[edit]- "More recent" could use a stronger time range
- agreed and chopped because ref is dead Mujinga (talk) 13:10, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
- "which included" → "including"
References
[edit]- [22] is a permanent dead link; it also ties into an area I flagged earlier; if no suitable replacement link can be found, maybe that can be cut entirely
General comments
[edit]- Image is relevant and suitable for use
- No stability concerns in the revision history
- Copyvio score looks good
Putting on hold to allow nominator to address comments. Feel free to ping me with questions, and please let me know when you're finished! — GhostRiver 22:44, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
- @GhostRiver: Thanks for the review, I hope I've addressed everything now Mujinga (talk) 13:13, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
