Following a talk I gave at Northwestern University this fall, a nice little
article about African-language Wikipedias appeared in the newsletter of the
Africana Libraries Newsletter:
http://www.indiana.edu/~libsalc/african/aln/ALN132.pdf (2nd page)
I'm especially pleased about this because I would love to see African
studies departments (and especially African language classes) to
incorporate contributing to Wikipedia into their curriculum, and I think
librarians are well-placed to encourage this and do the training. Thanks to
Marcia Tiede at Northwestern for writing the article.
best,
Phoebe
