DYK for Pieter van Reede van Oudtshoorn

On 3 August 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Pieter van Reede van Oudtshoorn, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that in 1773 newly appointed Governor of the Cape Colony Pieter van Reede van Oudtshoorn died at sea during the voyage to take up his post? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Pieter van Reede van Oudtshoorn. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

7 Wale Street

Is 7 Wale Street really called the Provincial Legislature Building? It does house executive departments as well (Health, Social Development and Treasury IIRC) and the name engraved on the outside is actually just "Provincial Building". - htonl (talk) 20:22, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

It is according to the WCPP website. HelenOnline 21:03, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

I have to admit I tend not to trust government websites with details such as that because they often seem to be quite slap-dash about getting it right. I see you've removed the name from the article which is probably the best solution. - htonl (talk) 21:29, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

I had a look on Google Street View. Outside the main entrance door it also says "Provincial Legislature Western Cape" in 3 languages. I would rather leave it out or change it to "Provincial Building". There is no reliable evidence for "Provincial Government Building". HelenOnline 06:42, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 9

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Diamond War Memorial, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Winged victory. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Please remove your view of Oscar Pistorius

I think that you are obsessed and you are blindly adding in things that are inaccurate, to the detriment of Misplaced Pages. I think it is time to take a back seat and let other people handle it. Please remove it from your watch list. Thanks. 123.2.223.96 (talk) 17:16, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

IP warned for harassment. Please do not let them drive you off. --NeilN 17:21, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

No harassment by me, only by HelenOnline. NeilN warned for harassing innocent constructive editor while trying to encourage HelenOnline to control article, pushing false view of situation. 123.2.223.96 (talk) 17:24, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

Good job for having your bully NeilN defend you. You sure are a piece of work. Goodbye Misplaced Pages, congratulations, you will never be accurate while you behave like this. All I did was add accurate information. Helen, hang your head in shame, in serious, severe shame. I hope that you see the level of harm you have done, even if NeilN doesn't because his head is too far up his own backside to actually check any facts. 123.2.223.96 (talk) 17:37, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
