Can someone get a picture of the Big Hole? -- Slashme 12:03, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
First Reference "Roberts ... pp 45-49" should name title and first name, or not? -- Helium4 ( talk) 14:18, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
Kimberley is described as a city in the opening paragraph. The population is then mentioned to be 167 000 hich seems to be to high for the city alone, unless the suburbs of Kimberley are also included in this figure. We need the population of Kimberly alone without its suburbs. P.s. what date was it this population size ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.5.191.151 ( talk • contribs)
I'd say there are two possible values for the population of Kimberley from the 2001 Census. The first is that of what the census describes as the Kimberley "main place", 62,526 people. But the census often separates - somewhat arbitrarily - townships from "city proper"; for a genuine idea of the population of Kimberley, it makes more sense to include Galeshewe, population 103,719, and Roodepan, population 18,962, giving a total population of 185,207. - htonl ( talk) 11:27, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
I've followed this discussion without commenting so far. There was a time (under Apartheid) when Galeshewe was said to be a "city" on its own with its own mayor even. But this was clearly artificial and those of us living in Kimberley would regard both Galeshewe and Roodepan as being just two of many suburbs that make up the city. As for actual numbers I would say that 185 000 or so would be a major underestimate and that Barrydowns' 243,018 is much closer to the mark. Unreferenced estimates in the body of the article indicate (in the section headed "Post Apartheid"): "In 1998 the Kimberley Comprehensive Urban Plan estimated that Kimberley had 210,800 people representing 46,207 households living in the city. By 2008 estimates were in the region of 250,000 inhabitants." Blarcrean ( talk) 14:27, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
has anyone heard of two brothers from Poland in connection with the early days of the mine? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.158.233.203 ( talk) 20:07, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
I've just changed most of the "lists" (suburbs, schools etc) to 3 columns, and reduced their font sizes. I did this simply to make the otherwise longish lists a little more compact. And whilst I was at it, I also alphabetised them.
I see now that although the "columnisation" works nicely in Firefox 10 and Chrome 17, good ol' Internet Explorer 8 ignores it. But I live in hopes that one day Microsoft will join the "in-crowd" and make their browsers more HTML compliant (assuming that this is in fact an HTML function)! I will go to another computer later and see what IE9 makes of it all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Barrydowns ( talk • contribs) 17:27, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
Does anyone have references for the History part? It looks useful and well written but with no references it can't be used & verified. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SavvyVee ( talk • contribs) 12:59, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

Did nothing exist here before the big hole?
