Wikibooks in Zulu language[Hlela umthombo]

Hi all. There is a Wikibooks in Zulu. Maybe some of you might be interested in that? There wasn't any activity yet (the project exists for more than one and a half year now). --Thogo 21:52, 25 u-Apreli 2007 (UTC)


  • I Know of a person who wanted to translate his Afrikaans Bible-referenceing book "Waar staan dit" into Xhosa, but have not completed the task yet and is turning 70 this year. About half may be completed by now. Any suggestions? Any volunteers or people wanting to encourage him to comlete the task? Ds Kritzinger speaks Xhosa well, but I do not.

Small request[Hlela umthombo]

Hello! I am a Polish wikipedian and I would like to ask you for your help - writing a new article about former Polish President who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1983 – Lech Wałęsa. I have looked for his biography in your Wikipedia but without success. Polish Wikipedians will be grateful for your help. Thank you so much in advance! PS you can find the English version of the article here. Best wishes from Poland, Patrol110 11:44, 26 uDisemba 2009 (UTC)

connectivity project[Hlela umthombo]

Hallo, my name is Anastasiya Lvova, I'm "duty" in Connectivity project. The essence of the "Connectivity" project is to study and enhance the coherence of Wikipedia, or, in other words, to improve hypertext navigation between articles. The project deals with deadends, isolated articles, non-categorized articles, transitivity of the category tree, etc.

We want to work with your language version, but we need configured MediaWiki:Disambiguationspage for it (with direct links to template namespace pages, for example, ru:MediaWiki:Disambiguationspage/de:MediaWiki:Disambiguationspage/fr:MediaWiki:Disambiguationspage). Is it possible to set it up for our usage?

thanks in advance, Lvova 17:47, 13 uJuni 2010 (UTC)

Photo request: South African Airways HQ[Hlela umthombo]

Hello! I have a photo request asking for an image of Airways Park, the South African Airways head office on the grounds of OR Tambo Airport in Johannesburg, South Africa, so the South African Airways article can have photos of the airline's head office.

This Google Maps View shows where the building is, and what it looks like. You can use a similar camera angle, as long as you capture the SAA logo on the building somehow.

Thank you, WhisperToMe 00:54, 27 uJuni 2010 (UTC)

South African Wikimedia Chapter[Hlela umthombo]

Greetings! Discussion is underway to set up a local South African Wikimedia Chapter. There are currently over 25 chapters established around the world, but so far, none in Africa. Currently a group of local Wikipedians are in the process of setting up the South African chapter. If you're interested in being involved in the creation of a South African Wikimedia Chapter, please add your name to the Meta page and also join the mailing list here. Also, email me directly if you would like to be involved in the kickoff Chapter workshop scheduled to be held at Wits University on 7th and 8th August. Thanks, Kaydee 68 16:44, 28 uJulayi 2010 (UTC)

ZU wikipedia overhaul[Hlela umthombo]

If this wiki is to take off it needs a serious overhaul. A lot of the translations are confusing, the layout of the home-page is off-putting etc. I don't want to just say this and not do anything, so I will contribute where and when I can, but this is just a statement so that we know what is needed. A lot of isiZulu speakers want a functional and usable wiki in isiZulu, but it at the moment is deceptively empty, since most of the content is not of good quality. Also, the UI translations can often be a bit confusing. I'm also a little lost about how best to contribute, it's a very confusing set of menus and systems to navigate, due to the nature and huge scope of the project of course.

article names beginning with a lower-case letter[Hlela umthombo]

For article names that should begin with a lower-case letter, I copied the following code over to WP-zu:

{{Lowercase title}}

I hope that this will be of some use. To me, it seems a bit off-putting to have an article title that begins with two capital letters, but I see that usage here on WP-zu is mixed: e.g. "uNomaxhama" vs "UNomaxhama" vs "Nomaxhama". (So far I haven't noticed the equivalent of "Unomaxhama".) If there is a Wiki guideline on how to handle such situations, perhaps it could be linked from this template? That is, should the first letter be lower case in cases like uNomaxhama, or should that be reserved for things like "eBay"? Kwamikagami (talk) 08:34, 28 uMasingana 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"uNomaxhama" should be the format as it is the capitalisation style adopted by lexicography units and government Nkankane (talk) 06:32, 18 uNtulikazi 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Uju luyinto emnandi eyenziwe izinyosi zoju kusuka ku-nectar2,3,4 noma i-honeydew5,6. Ziyigcina esidlekeni bese zidla kuyo unyaka wonke, ikakhulukazi ngezikhathi zesimo sezulu esingesihle. Ibuye idliwe ezinye izinhlobo zezilwane okuhlanganisa nohlobo lwabantu oluhlela ukukhiqizwa kwayo ngokuzalanisa izinyosi zoju.

ukudla kwezinyosi

Inyosi idla imbali ye-lavender.

Izinyosi ezidla ukudla zinomthwalo wemfanelo wokuhlinzeka ngesidleke. Uma isibekwe esitshalweni esiqhakazayo (angiosperms), inyosi isakaza amacembe, ifake ikhanda layo ngaphakathi, yelule ulimi lwayo bese imunca umpe ewugcina okwesikhashana esitshalweni sayo senhlalo. Ngenxa yesakhiwo sazo futhi ikakhulukazi ubude bolimi lwazo, izinyosi zingakwazi ukuqoqa umpe ezimbalini ezithile, okuthiwa zikhiqiza uju.

Izinyosi zingakwazi futhi ukuqoqa uju, indle ekhiqizwa izinambuzane ezincelisayo ezifana nama-aphid, ama-mealybugs noma i-metcalfa encibilikeni yesihlahla. Izosetshenziswa ngendlela efanayo ne-flower nectar (yilo mkhiqizo oyisisekelo osetshenziselwa ikakhulukazi ukwenza uju lwe-fir).

Ukucaciswa koju kuqala esitshalweni sesisebenzi, ngesikhathi sokundiza kwakhe esidlekeni. I-Invertase, i-enzyme evela emndenini we-diastase, yengezwa kumpe esitshalweni. Ngemuva kwalokho kuvela ukusabela kwamakhemikhali, i-hydrolysis ye-sucrose enikeza i-glucose ne-fructose.

Lapho ifika esidlekeni, inyosi edla ukudla ibuyisela umpe kumamukeli (i-trophallaxy), yona, ezobuyisela futhi iphinde idle lo mpe onamanzi, ixube namathe namajusi okugaya ukudla, ibe nomthelela wokuqeda inqubo. wokugaya ushukela. Uma selugcinwe emangqamuzaneni, uju luphelelwa amanzi ngenxa yokungena komoya omude nonamandla yizisebenzi ezifaka umoya. Uju oluvuthiwe luneshelufu ende kakhulu yokuphila.

Ukushisa kwesidleke kanye nezisebenzi zokungenisa umoya, ezingagcina umoya oqhubekayo imizuzu engu-20 esidlekeni, kubangela ukuhwamuka kwamanzi. Uju luyavuthwa lapho amanzi alo ehla ngaphansi kuka-18%; bese igcinwa kwamanye amaseli azovalwa uma esegcwalisiwe.

Ngakho uju lugcinwa izinyosi ukuze lusebenze njengendawo yokugcina ukudla; ikakhulukazi ngezikhathi zonyaka ezingezinhle, ngenkathi eyomile ye-Apis dorsata noma ubusika be-Apis mellifera.

Usosayensi uBernd Heinrich wakala inani lomsebenzi owenziwa izinyosi ezifuna ukudla. Ngakho, ukuze zikhiqize ikhilogremu yoju, izinyosi kumelwe zenze uhambo olungaphezu kuka-17 000, zivakashele izimbali ezingu-8 700 000, zonke zimelela amahora angaphezu kuka-7 000 okusebenza7.
