Thank you gentlemen! Happy Birthday Nii.
Oral I will come back saying init init :D
Visa assistance well noted. And in case you want to reach me urgently
before I get a new number, the best is via email or whatsapp. I will
maintain my Ghana number on whatsapp.
Wi Ghana has a whatsapp group, for those on there send a message now and I
will add you.
I will write when I get to Cardiff.

I think we should give it the shot i.e let Gasmilla get the article and as Sandister suggests " let other more experienced Wikipedians decide if he should be there or not."

Betreff: [Wikimedia Education] Call for feedback on Welcome to Wikipedia
brochure
An: "Wikimedia Education" <education(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, <
teaching-with-wikipedia(a)listserv.olemiss.edu>
(Please excuse cross-posting)
Over the next few months, I will be overhauling the Welcome to Wikipedia
brochure[1] to better reflect what new editors need to know when learning
how to contribute to Wikipedia. I'm hoping to get a wide variety of
feedback on what people like and do not like about the current brochure so
I can create a new version that reflects the best knowledge we collectively
have about outreach to newbies.
Please see more details and add your feedback here:
