This informatiom appears to be incorrect. Kimberly, in the Cape province [South Africa], was the first city world wide to plan and utilize electricity for all mining and public purposes thanks to the de Beers diamond mining group. On 2 September 1882, Kimberley became the first town in the southern hemisphere to install electric street lighting and tramways followed shortly after that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Semperlibre (talk • contribs) 18:43, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have never heard of this, nor found any references to that effect. Indeed, all the references I found regarding the Hobart tram network all refer to it as the first fully electrified tram network in the Southern hemisphere. Therefore, for it to be chanced in article, you will need to produce one or more references regarding Kimberley. 42° South (talk) 13:20, 4 February 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.177.64.28 (talk) [reply]

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.—cyberbot II ^Notify_Online 21:59, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
