Fwd: Re: Wiki Loves Women: HELP (please read)

OK guys This is NOT working. Call me Twitter illiterate (apparently I am) but... when you simply retweet our original tweet, it does NOT populate the #innovateAFRICA column. And if I answer your tweets, or quote them, it only refers to the original tweet, not to you. So, it does not show your support in the #innovateAFRICA column. The ONLY way you can show us support is by writing your own words apparently (I mean... you can do a copy and paste of our message... but it must not be a retweet). This is freaking ridiculous. But please help in WRITING YOUR OWN SUPPORT message or in QUOTING ours. Always including @wikiloveswomen and #innnovateAFRICA Thanks (the always learning) Anthere LINK : https://twitter.com/WikiLovesWomen/status/808371122672730112 Le 12/12/2016 à 18:08, Isla Haddow Flood a écrit : > Hello! > > We have applied for phase 2 funding for Wiki Loves Women from the > recent innovateAFRICA call.

We deleted the link to AVOID people retweeting, rather to let them express their own creativity :))) Flo Le 12/12/2016 à 19:41, Emna Mizouni a écrit : > Hi again, > > Please ignore my email.

Editing contest: The woman you never meet
by Anna Torres 12 Dec '16

12 Dec '16

Hello everyone! We are Iberocoop <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Iberocoop:Portada/es>, the ibero american network of chapters and user groups. Since 2015 , we are launching an editing contest during the month of the woman. The edition contest is known in Spanish as “La mujer que nunca conociste” in english "The Woman You Never meet". In 2015, 364 new articles were created, a figure multiplied by 4 in 2016, with 1264 new articles. This year 2017, we want the proposal to have global reach! To do this, we would like to invite all chapters and users groups to adapt and promote the contest to their local contexts. We are starting to work to have everything needed prepared to organize this year's contest: logo, rules for editing including the gender perspective and we can even think about awarding prizes internationally!. But for this to happen we need to know who would be interested in pushing this initiative. The competition will take place from March 4 to April 9, 2017 and its main objectives will be: 1. Improve women's content on Wikipedia: not just women's articles, but organizations, feminist movements, etc. 2. Inviting editing with a gender perspective: make Wikipedia a more quality space. 3. Involve more female as editors in Wikipedia, as well as in the Wikimedia community: complement the contest with editing workshops with feminist or groups of women, in each country, to favor their inclusion as editors and community members, for example. What do you think?Is this something people would be interested in and like to join? If the answer is yes (hopefully!) let us now your interest in the following meta page <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_women_you_never_meet>. We thank you in advance for the time you can take on this matter. Hugs! -- Anna Torres Adell Directora Ejecutiva *A.C. Wikimedia Argentina*

TED, XYZ and other riddles

Dear Isla, PLEASE be kind also to the intellectually challenged (dumb ones) amongst us like me: do not flood us with abbreviations without saying what it means. Took me 5 minutes to search what "TED" might be (not so easy because they love their abbreviaton). I hope I got it. But if you know, tell us when you post (if not, don't) Cheers Ingo - Kipala 1.
