Dear Mr. or Ms.,
I have submitted a proposal to IdeaLab Inspire about the creation of a group that searches for, invites and convinces professors emeriti to work on Wikipedia. As you already know, these professors emeriti have much free time, are willing to spread their scientific proficiency and knowledge worldwide so that younger researchers and people can learn from it and consequently will be happy to contribute to Wikipedia as it can easily help them achieve what they like. If you liked this important idea, please support it by endorsing it in https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Inviting_Professors_Emeriti_….
Yours Sincerely,
Houcemeddine Turki
Hello Florence,
I got your message on Wikimedia Egypt page and I'll start work on it.
Thank you for your kind reminder.
Regards

Looking for an Arabic/English speaker to help improve the English
version of the [[Asmaa Mahfouz]] article using the very good Arabic
version. Please help. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asmaa_Mahfouz
In about a week, we will launch a friendly "translate-a-thon" effort on
16 biographies of African women so that they get translated in "as many
languages as possible" (at least 16).
In the meanwhile, we need your help to "improve/polish" the ENGLISH
Wikipedia version of the biographies selected (as it is likely to be the
"master" of most translations). #16wikiwomen
Please join and help us to do that :
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/16_African_Women_Translate-a-thon#Our_list_…
The complete list includes
* Malouma, Mauritanian singer, songwriter and politician
* Nozizwe Madlala-Routledge, politician, South Africa
* Cri-Zelda Brits, South African crickete
* Manal al-Sharif, Saudi women's rights activist
* Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, Nigerian women's rights activist
* Flora Nwapa, Nigerian Igbo writer
* Samia Yusuf Omar, Sprinter from Somalia
* Maggie Laubser, South African painter
* Fatima Massaquoi, Pioneer educator in Liberia
* Frances Ames, South African neurologist, psychiatrist, and human
rights activist
* Asmaa Mahfouz, Egyptian activist
* Yaa Asantewaa, Ghana, former Queen Mother
* Fatou Bensouda, Gambian lawyer
* Martha Karua, Kenyan politician
* Chinwendu Ihezuo, Nigerian professional footballer
* Nassima Saifi, Paralympian athlete from Algeria
Please defend the colors of your nation if one biography is about
someone from your country !
For those bilingual French/English, please help improve the English
version of
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nozizwe_Madlala-Routledge
using the French version
For those bilingual Arabic/English, please help improve the English
version of
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manal_al-Sharif
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asmaa_Mahfouz
using the Arabic version
Thanks !
Florence
Chere Florence
if it is allowed to point out that Saudi Arabia is not exactly Africa,
so what about taking Anna Tibaijuka from Tanzania in the list instead?
(so far existing in Deutsch, Français, Hrvatski, Kiswahili, Polski,
Português, 中文 - which is less than the lady from Saudi or
Yaa Asantewaa)
Cheers
Ingo

networks are very welcome. <

Dear all,
I am happy to announce that applications to attend WikiCite ‘17 officially open
today <https://goo.gl/forms/Kb9Wl6Xfw2EmFqEr2>.
About the event
WikiCite 2017 <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiCite_2017> is a 3-day
conference, summit and hack day to be hosted in Vienna, Austria, on May
23-25, 2017. It expands on efforts started last year at WikiCite 2016
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiCite_2016/Report> to design a central
bibliographic repository, as well as tools and strategies to improve
information quality and verifiability in Wikimedia projects.
Our goal is to bring together Wikimedia contributors, data modelers,
information and library science experts, software engineers, designers and
academic researchers who have experience working with Wikipedia's citations
and bibliographic data.
WikiCite 2017 will be a venue to:
-
Day 1. (Conference) – present progress on existing work and initiatives
for citations and bibliographic data across Wikimedia projects
-
Day 2. (Summit) – discuss technical, social, outreach and policy
directions
-
Day 3. (Hack) – get together to build, based on new ideas and
applications
More information on the event can be found here
