09:2309:23, 7 May 2024 diff hist +14‎ Lion's Head (Cape Town) ‎ →‎Surrounding: more precise on what is Robben island in the image

08:2908:29, 1 May 2024 diff hist +9‎ Mac (computer) ‎ →‎2012–present: Tim Cook era: more precise - the expansion was indeed possible, but then one needed to have extra hardware outside the Pro

19:0819:08, 26 April 2024 diff hist +41‎ Rhodes Memorial ‎ added detail on period of time
18:0818:08, 26 April 2024 diff hist +78‎ Rhodes Memorial ‎ →‎Architecture: added that the original colossus of Rhodos was in Rhodes, Greece, previously not quite clear from the text without clicking on that article
17:1117:11, 26 April 2024 diff hist +81‎ Rhodes Memorial ‎ →‎Architecture: added internal links

21:2421:24, 24 April 2024 diff hist +551‎ Table Mountain ‎ The image and dimensions can be judged much better when having a reference distance, hende added to caption the 5,2 km between Lion's Head and Devil's Peak together with Google link, which does however not provide the 5,2 km, these I calculated with "www.gps-coordinates.net/distance"
10:0710:07, 24 April 2024 diff hist +18‎ Rhodes Memorial ‎ exchanged first image by a version of the same image but reduced and focused to the memorial itself, without surroundings

12:3212:32, 20 April 2024 diff hist +231‎ Illustrirte Zeitung ‎ Every native German speaker (like me) thinks that the article title must be a mis-spelling due to the missing "e", because the old variant (used in the title) is completely forgotten. I added that to the intro, of course I do not have sources but you may check that readily with wikiquote etc.

12:0012:00, 19 April 2024 diff hist +65‎ Rhodes Memorial ‎ added style of monument in first sentence
10:3610:36, 19 April 2024 diff hist +17‎ Berlin Conference ‎ added what the "Gartenlaube" was
10:3210:32, 19 April 2024 diff hist +41‎ Rhodes Memorial ‎ changed link to deep link

17:0917:09, 18 April 2024 diff hist +2‎ Rhodes Memorial ‎ the cape colony was always British
16:0016:00, 18 April 2024 diff hist +35‎ Rhodes Memorial ‎ + mining magnate, significant point for accessing his overall work
15:4715:47, 18 April 2024 diff hist +94‎ Rhodes Memorial ‎ some more details
13:4313:43, 18 April 2024 diff hist −182‎ Rhodes Memorial ‎ made my own additon from today shorter and more concise
12:5112:51, 18 April 2024 diff hist +691‎ Rhodes Memorial ‎ The intro - like probably many know - lacked some kind of summary including the controversies. I tried, and I think it is quite ok. I would welcome suggestion proposals and discussions on the talk page, instead of spontaneous actions in the new section. Thx.

20:4420:44, 17 April 2024 diff hist +3‎ Rhodes Memorial ‎ →‎Location: the link just corrected by me was wrong, it linked to the article about C to C ROAD, but Rhodes planned a railway + telegraph line from C to C, which was an entirely different project for a different 'path'
13:5813:58, 17 April 2024 diff hist −167‎ Hiking equipment ‎ The first "citation needed" tag in the introduction did not make sense, as the sentence in question is really common knowlege. The sentence about possible government regulations may seldomly apply (in the Himalaya, for example), but is way too specific for the intro, hence deleted.
11:1011:10, 17 April 2024 diff hist +20‎ Rhodes Memorial ‎ →‎Location: one situated was too much
11:0211:02, 17 April 2024 diff hist +112‎ Rhodes Memorial ‎ date of birth and death in introduction, some minor improvements and links
10:3410:34, 17 April 2024 diff hist +64‎ Table Mountain ‎ rewrote part of the safety hint in introduction to have more information and to be less "authoritative"
09:5709:57, 17 April 2024 diff hist +26‎ Table Mountain ‎ more precise

12:4512:45, 16 April 2024 diff hist +30‎ Table Mountain ‎ + internal links
12:0012:00, 16 April 2024 diff hist +23‎ Cecil Rhodes ‎ →‎Rhodes and the Imperial Factor: afaik and according to our resp. texts he announced both a railroad and telegraphy, hence the more ambitious railroad should be in the caption as well
10:5110:51, 16 April 2024 diff hist +123‎ Rhodes (disambiguation) ‎ →‎Elsewhere: + Rhodes Memorial as a place current
09:3309:33, 16 April 2024 diff hist +16‎ Table Mountain ‎ small addition
09:1709:17, 16 April 2024 diff hist +192‎ Table Mountain ‎ added a hint to the introduction which might save some people from making bad decisions; this is written in nearly every cape town guide, and comes from my own experience as well

21:5721:57, 15 April 2024 diff hist +75‎ NeXT ‎ →‎Second generation: added hint to annotations in the file on commons
10:3910:39, 15 April 2024 diff hist +9‎ Rhodes (disambiguation) ‎ →‎People: Rhodes was an Englishman and imperialist, he only ''worked'' in SA so to say

19:2019:20, 14 April 2024 diff hist +3‎ Rhodes (disambiguation) ‎ →‎People: add
19:1919:19, 14 April 2024 diff hist +70‎ Rhodes (disambiguation) ‎ →‎People: Cecil Rhodes is, ''because'' of his highly controversial role and undisputed significance for Africa, someone who should not be described with "politician from xyz in 19th century" hence I added some key points
