Your submission at Articles for creation: Okanguati has been accepted

Okanguati, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Stub-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. It is commonplace for new articles to start out as stubs and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thanks again, and happy editing!

Spelling in article titles

Hi Tikita! Please don't just create articles under a new spelling, as you did for Uibes and Kuisebmond. The correct procedure is:

Verify what the sources say. Wikipedia uses the most common spelling in English media, alternatively the most common spelling elsewhere.
Move the article from the old name to the new name.
Change occurrences of the old name at the new location of the article---unless, of course, in titles and direct quotes.

The reason is our license conditions, we want to acknowledge who wrote what. By simply doing a copy-and-paste from the old article to the new one, suddenly everything is credited to you, wiping out other editors' contributions.

If you have questions about this, please click on the "talk" next to my name to contact me. Cheers, Pgallert (talk) 12:06, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Kariega / Uitenhage

Hi, I reverted your edit in List of the oldest mosques because we assume that the title of a Wikipedia article for a place is its usual name in reliable English language sources. Any discussion of which name to use should be on the article's talk page. If you think that the town should be called Kariega then please request that the Uitenhage article is renamed, see Wikipedia:Requested moves. This should be see as a 'potentially controversial move' so you should follow the process at WP:RSPM, which requires a discussion on the article's talk page.

Some of your recent edits to Uitenhage have made that article confusing by making it inconsistent in the name used to refer to the town. Please obtain consensus on what the article should be named, and make the content of the article reflect that name.

I have never been to South Africa, I don't specialise in South African articles, and don't have strong opinions on what its placenames should be. My focus is on making Wikipedia clear and accurate, and on ensuring that its policies and conventions are followed and not bypassed.

Thank you for your advice. Kariega (former name Uitenhage): I refered to Government Notice No 44181, dated 23 February 2021. This notice was contained in the Government Gazette in which the official geographical names were published, including the change of the names of Port Elizabeth to Gqeberha, Uitenhage to Kariega and the Port Elizabeth Airport to the Chief Dawid Stuurman Airport.
