[Wikimedia-GH] WikiWomen's History Month
by Sarah Stierch 15 Feb '13

15 Feb '13

[Pardon the cross-posts - and the English message] - Please forward as well! Hi everyone, March is Women's History Month, and this will be the second year for WikiWomen's History Month, an *international* collaborative event that takes place offline at edit-a-thons and online through project focuses. Events and projects focus on improving women's history coverage on any language project. We have a page on English Wikipedia, like last year, to gather all of the events: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiWomen%27s_History_Month So far we have events in South America, Europe and the United States. I hope you'll consider throwing an event in your town, village, or city - or do a women's history focus for your WikiProject - large or small!

[Wikimedia-GH] Two edit-a-thons
by Sandister Tei 14 Feb '13

14 Feb '13

I am happy that at least some of you showed up for the editing training. Please start editing real articles now but ALWAYS use "show preview" first before saving a page. For more complex stuff, use your sandbox. New users please note that from today the 24th to February 24th you should have at least a 100 edits on Wikipedia. Ghanaian articles need our help and Planning Wikimedia Ghana should be at the forefront of this. I am also happy to announce that Sarkodie's management is willing to collaborate on our Azonto article. I am contacting Gasmilla/llian next. Without the permission of these people, the article won't have the necessary multimedia content. The elections 2012 article suffered greatly because we couldn't even get free images of our own presidential candidates to add to the text. Any comments and contributions are welcome. Wikimedia outreach in Ghana is ongoing. Anyone in Accra/Tema to join in the trainings?

I have visited the article and added some edits. Does the school have an available crest? I put in an info box and without the crest, it looks quite boring. But I am happy with the Seth Duodo. He has done very well. --Sandister Tei, geeked by Samsung. www.sandistertei.com | 0203572222Nkansah Rexford <nkansahrexford(a)gmail.com> wrote: Though his first time, Seth Duodu of Koforidua Poly did a good job in bringing these contents up for Wikipedia and writing them up.

Hello folks Tomorrow, I'll be at the All Nations University new site at 11:30am for the second and final part of our training sessions. Last week, we learned a lot of 'theories' behind Wikipedia and the Media Wiki software in general. Tomorrow, we'll be jumping into the 'practicals', the real work - contributing to articles, and starting some. I hope to meeting you guys.
