Dear all,
Kindly note:
1) this mailing list has hundreds subscribers;
2) the mailing list is not a chat/messenger, it is should consist only the
important information, so no one will miss it;
3) overcrowding the mailing list with non-mandatory personal short
replies/requests is not polite, as you should remember that hundreds of
people will read it.
If you have any requests/questions, please address them privately to the
single recipient of your request/question, not hundreds of people that have
to read it.
If you would like to thank someone from the mailing list, please do so
privately, avoiding hundreds of people reading it.
Finally, I would like to apologize for sending this essential email that
everyone has to read, but I hope at least this one will stop the continuing
requests/questions/replies on private matters.
Thank you for understanding, and have a nice day.
Best regards,
Levon

Hello friends
A couple of months ago, Wiki in Africa published a call to hire for a
position of facilitator at Wiki in Africa, in particular to help on the
Wiki Loves Africa initiative
I am very happy to announce our new WLA facilitator, Wilson Oluoha.
Born in Lagos, Nigeria, Wilson is a multi-lingual Information and Media
Scientist with a passion for open access to knowledge and building
sustainable knowledge communities.
He is a wise amateur photographer, public speaker and budding pro
cyclist who joined the Wikimedia movement in 2018 through the Igbo
language affiliate in Nigeria. In 2022, he founded IG WikiCommons Hub -
a community of Nigerians committed to contributing content to the open
knowledge movement via Wikimedia Commons.
This is the link to his UserPage on meta :
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:OtuNwachinemere
Please give him a warm welcome :)
I would like to also extend my thanks to all the people we received
applications from. This has been a tough call but we really appreciated
the interest from so many of you.
Way forward : Wilson will progressively take over Ceslause
responsibilities on the Wiki Loves Africa project, BUT Ceslause will
stay involved.

Il y a quelques mois, Wiki in Africa a publié un appel à recrutement pour un poste de facilitateur chez Wiki in Africa, en particulier pour aider à l'initiative Wiki Loves Africa
Je suis très heureuse d'annoncer notre nouveau facilitateur WLA, Wilson Oluoha.
Né à Lagos, au Nigéria, Wilson est un scientifique multilingue de l'information et des médias (traduction passable...) passionné par le libre accès au savoir et la création de communautés de savoir durables.
C'est un photographe amateur avisé, un orateur public et un cycliste professionnel en herbe qui a rejoint le mouvement Wikimedia en 2018 par le biais du UserGroup Igbo au Nigeria. En 2022, il a fondé IG WikiCommons Hub - une communauté de Nigérians engagés à contribuer au contenu du mouvement de la connaissance libre via Wikimedia Commons.
Voici le lien vers sa page utilisateur sur meta :https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:OtuNwachinemere <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:OtuNwachinemere>
Merci de lui réserver un accueil chaleureux :)
Je tiens également à remercier toutes les personnes dont nous avons reçu les candidatures. Cela fut un choix difficile, mais nous avons vraiment apprécié l'intérêt porté par un si grand nombre d'entre vous.
Wilson reprendra progressivement les responsabilités de Ceslause sur le projet Wiki Loves Africa, MAIS Ceslause restera impliqué. A noter, Wilson n'est pas francophone (même si améliorer son niveau de français est dans ses intentions... affaire à suivre...). Donc pour les francophones vraiment peu à l'aise avec l'anglais... Ceslause et moi continuerons à être présents :)
Florence and Wiki in Africa team.
