Needs Improving edit
As I mentioned on Wiki Project South Africa this page still needs a lot of work to get it up to scratch or even a remotely complete level. I am also worried I might have gotten one or two things wrong especially in the chronology of events section and it could certainly use more references. Either way I could use some help in trying to accurately summarise this rappidly evolving and complicated event.--Discott (talk) 18:27, 22 October 2015 (UTC) This article does not reference the RhodesMustFall protests of 2015. Is this a deliberate choice ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.248.38.118 (talk) 13:07, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
UWC & etc. edit
- "Demonstrations spread to Rhodes University, Stellenbosch University, UCT, Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University, the University of Pretoria, the University of the Free State, the University of Limpopo, the University of KwaZulu-Natal, Tshwane University of Technology, including its campus in Mbombela, the Cape Peninsula University of Technology, and the University of Fort Hare." [1]
This article is not entirely neutral and has a rather biased tone to it. This preferably has to be corrected. The article stresses the views of the protesters only.

- Hi BrianLeRoux1, if you feel it is not NPOV enough then I would suggest trying to correct those sections that you feel would enhance NPOV. The article could certainly do with greater input from a wider spectrum of editors.--Discott (talk) 13:25, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

Needs new title edit
Although "feesmustfall" is familiar to all of us in South Africa, the rest of the world might not recognise it. I also feel that it is to casual and not appropriate for a title in an encyclopedia. I suggest something in the line "South African Student Protest against tuition fee increases" or something like that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marcopieterse (talk • contribs) 08:45, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Marcopieterse, I disagree. I think the name should stay 'as is' as it meets at least two important Article Title requirements. It is both a commonly recognisable name for the movement as well as being a concise term for it.--Discott (talk) 13:21, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
A very good point, I agree with you. .
