This year will be my third year working with this festival. I have done
presentations as to how doing wikipedia articles can help documentary
filmmakers to develop skills.
Morocco Omari has a film company in I think Uganda. He has been a host for
two years,
Ina Norris is the founder of the Kwanzaa film festival.
Last year there was a panel discussion of filmmakers doing work in Africa
and it was hosted by Morocco Omari.
I have done three Wikipedia articles about filmmakers.
I usually meet someone that does not have a Wikipedia article and I do one.
I did do an article about an actor Charles Weldon who is a very well known
actor, director, etc. He was in a film called Paris Blues in Harlem.
It is a wonderful film. I do plan on doing an article on the filmmakers.
I met another filmmaker just last week who did a documentary film about the
African American athletes that were in the Olympics in Germany in 1934.
This article is on my list of to do articles also.

Dear Antolepore,
It does seem that you want something fixed on Wikipedia but I am not quiet
sure your current approach would be productive. Please do not start
thinking that any of the people on this list would obey your order. I'd
encourage you to consider your tone and immediately stop the threat and
think of a civil approach to resolving the problem. If you need the help of
one or more of our volunteers on this mailing list, politely request for
assistant.
Thank you
Isaac

Please remove all the filters that Vituzzo, the
administrator of the
Italian version of Wikipedia, put on both the antolepore(a)gmail.com
account and all the IPs that he also blocked in IRC because he made a mess.
The carabinieri and the state police are investigating the case. Please do
as I say! Thanks

Greetings!
Apologies for cross-posting. After a successful first iteration of the
“Months of African Cinema” last year, we are happy to announce that it will
be happening again this year, starting from October 1! In the 2018 edition
of the contest, about 600 Wikipedia articles were created in at least 8
languages. There were also contributions to Wikidata and Wikimedia commons,
which brought the total number of wikimedia pages created during the
contest to over 1,000. About 9 in-person events were also organised for the
edit-a-thon in different parts of the world.
The contest is organized by a Wikimedia project called "The AfroCine
Project",[1] which is dedicated to improving the coverage of the history,
works, people, places, and events, that are associated with the cinema,
theatre and arts of Africa, African countries, the Caribbean, and the
diaspora.
If you would love to join this exciting event, please list your username
as a participant on the English Wikipedia contest page.[2] If you would
love to lead this contest for your country or community, please list your
name in the coordinators page here.[3] The rapid grants team would be
accepting proposals throughout October and November, in case you'd need
funds to run local edit-a-thons or some other activities related to this
event. Upon listing your name on the coordinators' page, you'd be contacted
to talk about the resources you'd need to run the event in your community.
You can also contact me directly for any clarifications.
Finally, We also need volunteers to handle some aspects of the AfroCine
project. These aspects include:
1. Community Liaison: This role essentially involves closely engaging
with local communities to support their activities within the scope of
Afrocine.
2. Communications: This involves the communications aspects of the
project. Sharing relevant information on mailing lists and social media
would be the responsibility of this person.
3. MAC Jury: This role involves joining the jury of Months of African
Cinema contest. We need as many people as we can get :).
4. Tools: Going forward, we would need relevant tools to better track
the metrics and also analyse the general impact of these events. We are
calling for Wikimedia volunteers who can navigate wikimedia tools that can
be useful for the project.
If you would love to help with any of these roles, or some other roles
that have not been mentioned, please contact me directly.
If you have further questions, complaints, suggestions, etc., please
reach out to me personally or right here on the mailing list or the project
talkpages.
Thank you!
Sam Oyeyele.
