if it's not too late you could include

Saudi Arabia is borderline... but came out when I did some
WikiData/Category search for GA Africa Women.
But the fact she is borderline is annoying. She is also fairly well
translated already.
Anna is a fairly good bio (strangely... it is still recorded as "Stub"
here : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Anna_Tibaijuka)
Less translated. Interesting caracter. And undoubtely from Africa.
So yeah... ok. Let me fix that.
But Ingo, can you make sure to review the article (check languages, fix
links etc.) ?
Thanks
Flo

You can nominate the 16 articles for improvement at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Today's_articles_for_improvement/Nominations. However, this does not stop anyone on this list from helping with improvements as well.

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_to_contribute_to_Wikipedia.
Yours Sincerely,
Houcemeddine Turki
