Dear all,
I am excited to share some of the latest updates from the Ghanaian
Wikipedia communities that I am currently supporting as part of the A+F
West African language project. As you may be aware, the Gurene Wikipedia
<https://gur.wikipedia.org/> was approved last month, and this week, the
Ghanaian Pidgin and the Fante Wikipedia incubators have also been approved.
I started the West African language project to initially support the
Dagbani, the Gurene, and the Ghanaian Pidgin language Wikis in Ghana. Four
more languages are coming on board!
On the other hand, I am excited to share that we will be hosting a two-day
language meetup in Tamale
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Ghanaian_Languages_Meetup> for all nine
language communities in Ghana, including the three language communities
that A+F is currently supporting under the West African language program.
The event is funded through the WMF Rapid Program. The meetup will be added
to the A+F event dashboard soon.
I am very excited about this event, as I will be engaging all the
language communities in Ghana.

Hi everyone,
We are a team of researchers working on a project that involves analyzing
the cultural diversity and gender representation of images on Wikimedia
Commons. To achieve this, we need to annotate a large number of images
based on gender and cultural representation (specifically food and dress).
This is where we need your help! We are looking for volunteers who are
interested in participating in this annotation project. No prior experience
is required, and all you need is access to a computer and an internet
connection.
The annotation process will be conducted online using a simple labeling
tool that we have built. This tool will be accessible via a web link and
can be completed at any time convenient for you.
Your task will be to view and label batches of images based on cultural
items such as food and dress, and gender representation depicted in the
images. Each batch of images should take about 30 minutes to label, and you
may complete up to 2 batches of images.
Your work may potentially be contributed back to Wikimedia Commons to help
improve the structured data if you give us permission to do so.
Additionally, for each batch of images you complete, we will offer you a
gift card valued at $15 or a note of appreciation as a token for your time.
If you are interested in participating, please fill out this online form
<https://form.jotform.com/230713723454048>. If there are still available
slots, we will email you with the next steps.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Bonjour à tous,
Nous sommes une équipe de chercheurs travaillant sur un projet qui consiste
à analyser la diversité culturelle et la représentation du genre des images
sur Wikimedia Commons. Pour ce faire, nous avons besoin d'annoter un grand
nombre d'images en fonction du genre et de la représentation culturelle (en
particulier la nourriture et la tenue vestimentaire).
C'est là que nous avons besoin de votre aide ! Nous recherchons des
bénévoles qui souhaitent participer à ce projet d'annotation. Aucune
expérience préalable n'est requise, et tout ce dont vous avez besoin, c'est
d'un accès à un ordinateur et d'une connexion internet.
Le processus d'annotation sera mené en ligne à l'aide d'un outil
d'étiquetage simple que nous avons construit. Cet outil sera accessible via
un lien web et pourra être utilisé au moment qui vous conviendra le mieux.
Votre tâche consistera à visualiser et à étiqueter des lots d'images sur la
base d'éléments culturels tels que la nourriture et les vêtements, ainsi
que la représentation des sexes sur les images. Chaque lot d'images devrait
prendre environ 30 minutes à étiqueter, et vous pouvez compléter jusqu'à
deux lots d'images.
Votre travail pourra éventuellement être reversé à Wikimedia Commons afin
d'améliorer les données structurées si vous nous en donnez l'autorisation.
En outre, pour chaque lot d'images réalisé, nous vous offrirons une
carte-cadeau d'une valeur de 15 dollars ou une note de remerciement en
guise de remerciement pour le temps que vous nous avez consacré.
Si vous souhaitez participer, veuillez remplir ce formulaire en ligne
<https://form.jotform.com/230713723454048>. S'il reste des places
disponibles, nous vous enverrons un courrier électronique pour vous
indiquer la marche à suivre.
Merci d'avance pour votre aide !
