== Quality Improvement - This article needs YOU! South African Wars (1879–1915)'

The article in its current form has become a mess. The introduction section is particularly problematic containing numerous issues, including: typos, information irrelevant to a hat note section, long run on sentences with endless repetition of the same facts, subtle vandalism, and blatant bias. The rest of the article is a better but many of the same problems still occur. This is the result of many small edits through the years without much work on the article as a whole. I honestly think the quality of the article was better a few years ago than it is now.

I will begin cleaning up soon but I would like to ask other Wikipedians to help improve and actively maintain the quality of the article. This is one of the most important articles on South Africa, and probably the most important on South African history so it is vital that we keep it to the highest quality. Right now, I am afraid it does not come close to that standard. Let us look at this article globally and try to improve the article to a consistent quality that we can be proud of.
