Moletsane High School
[edit]- ... that students from Naledi, Morris Isaacson and Moletsane High Schools were involved in the 1976 Soweto Uprising when children were shot by the South African police?

- QPQ = Tigard Public Library Victuallers (talk) 16:03, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
Created and nominated on October 30, and is about 2600 characters, satisfying length and date criteria. QPQ completed. The sources are sparse (some of them are not independent, such as Brait's report) and some of the statements in the article are unsourced. I cannot verify the statement "The Brait Foundation were also funding a part-time teacher of computing" from the provided source. A few additional sources can be found in this Google News archive or these books. You could also mention that it is a Dinaledi school, a subject which probably merits its own WP article. These are minor issues, but need to be resolved. Mindmatrix 17:57, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks MindMatrix, the news links were very useful and I have been able to expand the history section. The sources are sparse - This school does not appear to have a web site. I have reduced the use of the Brait ref (which mentions that they are funding a computing teacher. I'm not so attracted to the Dinaledi ref as it appears to just be relabelling what the school was doing anyway. I think the issues you mention have all been addressed and the additions have improved the article. thanks Victuallers (talk) 09:07, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
I tweaked the recent additions slightly, and added info from another ref. (There's also this book, which seems to indicate there was an issue regarding teacher dismissal at Moletsane and other schools in the mid 1970s, but it lacks context so I didn't add it.) All issues I've raised have been addressed. This is good to go. Mindmatrix 20:05, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
