Hello guys

Wiki Loves Africa is closing tonight :)

I see some teams still have events and uploads sessions today and this is great.

Overall slighly less pictures this year than last year; and generally more off-topic than previous years (no idea why...) but of much higher quality generally ! So this is really cool !

All focus countries enjoy pretty high participation rates (*), which is a pleasure.

-------

If you are still in mass upload sessions and _do not go through the upload page_, I would like to ask, please, to make sure that you pictures are taggued with

{{Wiki Loves Africa 2016}} [[Category:Images from Wiki Loves Africa 2016 without categories]] (if you do not put categories beside the maintenance ones)

But generally, I would advise you to start an upload session by clicking on that GREEN button here : https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Africa_2016/Participat...

It automatically tag pictures and reduce the manual workload afterwards.

Thanks

Flo

PS: I'll post by tomorrow the outcome of the discussions on WLAf at WikiIndaba.

(*) Except Zimbabwe, but they could not get the funding until early January + it is a brand new group struggling to get things set up. So nothing unexpected here.
