Dear All
I am absolutely delighted to read that so many of you received a delegate guide! Great!
Just me, I have nothing!! So forgive me if I repeat this request. Kindly put the name of the hotel, address and phone no on the programme website, with a max amount for taxi. I am a steady believer in Murphy's law, so please use this backup method, too.
Or just anyone who received that wonderful guide, send this 1 bit of info to me privately.
Cheers Ingo

Hi Isaac,
looking at the report "page views per country" you get numbers which
wikipedia versions were opened per country.
https://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportPageViewsPerCountry…
and you can choose "detailed version"
Looking at Nigeria and Madagascar you see for October :
(language version - thousand views - percentage of all wikipedia views
in the country)
****Nigeria
English Wp 32945 97.5%
Igbo Wp 386 1.1%
Simple English Wp 112 0.3%
French Wp 97 0.3%
Arabic Wp 62 0.2%
German Wp 56 0.2%
Russian Wp 35 0.1%
Italian Wp 34 0.1%
Other 49 0.2%
****Madagascar
French Wp 2021 83.5%
English Wp 392 16.2%
German Wp 5 0.2%
Other 1 0.1%
So of course SOME people do read Yoruba from Nigeria or Malegache from
Madagascar but this share was less than 0,1% and thus is hidden amongst
"other". Surprisingly Igbo (a pretty small wikipedia) is visible in
Nigeria. Lets see if that repeats. Malagasy was visible in the last
report from August, having 3000 calls and 0,01 % in Madagascar.
Checking the other way round: language views
https://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportPageViewsPerLanguag…
(language version was viewed from which countries)
**** Yoruba (yo) (0.002% share of global total)
France 44.9%
United States 29.8%
Germany 18.8%
Other 6.5%
**** Malagasy (mg) (0.002% share of global total)
France 44.9%
United States 31.0%
Germany 20.0%
Other 4.1%
Also here the "home country" is hidden amongst "others", i.e. less than
1 percent of views of Yoruba coming from Nigeria (but more than 80% of
igbo views! Did they have some PR recently??)

I hope we are reflecting on how Wikipedia is helping the world of knowledge
and also giving some of us worthy causes to dedicate our time to, plus a
wonderful community to be a part of.
Happy 16th and best wishes!

Dear all
Some reminders about the photo contest
1. Please consider adding some information and pictures of your events :
to
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Africa_2016/Local_eve…
It is a good way to show the community what's going on
2. When you tweet or facebook about the event, please help us track your
tweet and fb in adding hashtags or notifications (such as @wikilovesafrica)
This helps us see your posts and further disseminate what you do
3. Consider adding your best event pictures to this category
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wiki_Loves_Africa_2016_Event
It will make it easier for you afterwards to show your group activity.
What gets on Facebook is quickly buried. It is for immediate use and
satisfaction. But what gets on Commons is for long lasting use.
4. Remember to put your receipts in the dedicated dropbox managed by
Elisabeth
If you wait several months before putting them there... there is high
chance that they will get lost. The sooner you do it... the best. The
dropbox should be your shoebox where you dump receipts at the end of the
day.
Most of you have not provided ANY receipts yet. I would like to thank
Tunisia for providing two.
On that matter, allow me to remind that a receipt is a _ticket_ given by
the _company_ to which you _bought_ goods. For example the print shop
where you get leaflets printed. For example the food shop where you
boughts the drinks for the meetup. For example a Facebook receipt if you
bought ads to push a FB post.
A handwritten note on scrap paper saying that you gave xx to a
participant to attend a festival is... better than nothing... but _is
not a receipt_.
