I will be going to Cardiff University on 17/18 Sept. I quite excited to
hear that an EduWiki
Conference<http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/EduWiki_Conference_2013>will
be there as well. As usual, I will let you know what happened there if
I am able to attend.
Now that the grant report is up we can focus on other things but I want to
say congrats to us all. Pl. Wikimedia Ghana had just two active editors =
Rex & Me. Now after the outreach where we met 100s we've supported
ourselves to 8 active editors now.
Jaward, Enock, Claude, Nii, Rex, Me, Felix, Barima. Aren't we great? And
majority of us are BarCampers so we need to buy Ato some alewa. We all know
Wikipedia is hard work. So I am happy for the 8 of us.
I am also glad to say that some people are editing in the background but
haven't been part of us. Some people have also shown interest but don't
know where to start.
So I want to ask now, and we should vote on this. What do we do next?
1. Should the 8 of us focus on developing ourselves and building our
editing skills and editing count? At least for some time before we go on
outreach again?
OR
2. Should we go on outreach again right away?
OR
3. Suggest another plan bec
I am taking a break from the mailing list till the 9th of September to
focus on my school preps. But please the weekly edit declaration still
stands. I don't want to chase anyone. Rex and I are welcoming all ideas as
to what we should embark on next. Please put your ideas in a proposal form.
Regards,
Sandister Tei

I just saw that Sekou is not on the wiki. I am adding him to the meta page
list of articles to be created.
Please, I didn't say you should go create. We have agreed to index first
and murder later.
Please keep populating the lists.
We decided at the meeting to index pages so we will know what needs to be
done to ensure we keep 'Ghana' covered and find a central place that we can
all go to and find things to edit.
Rex and Enock made some submissions to me. I am working on them. So far I
have created a meta page: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/What_Can_You_Edit to
host our submissions. I have been gathering categories to make sure that at
least the page can give a good account of articles that GH Wikipedians can
occupy themselves with.
Feel free to go there and pick something to do.
Very soon we will all decide on our best or massive work done so we can add
that to the report.
Regards,
Sandister Tei

We planned to gather articles by categories to help us focus on WHAT to
edit.
I am suggesting lists. Lists are a great way to browse articles for ones
that don't exist so we create them.
For the new members, a red link on a Wikipedia page usually means it links
to a page which has no article. In other words, you have the chance to
create a new one now.
This week if you want to get some edits, kindly come here and add names of
actors who are missing. Soon we will move to artistes, politicians etc
In the long run we will have lists of notable articles that need to be
created.

So Mohammed Jaward (I hope I got the name right) randomly offered to join
me for the Theodosia Okoh article. He made his first edit in the weekend. I
see a Seth Nyamador in the making. lol.
Mo, well done. A first edit is not easy I remember. But you wanted it and
you did it. Let's discuss how to get your Wikimania bag to you in Tamale.
Also Mo, check the list below to see if you understand these words. People
confuse it all the time and as a Wikipedian/Wikimedian you should be able
to offer clarification.
Wiki= a form of social media, a site that you can update. Eg Wikipedia
Wikipedia= Wiki used like an Encyclopedia online that is constantly updated
Wikipedian= The volunteer that updates Wikipedia
Wikimedia= The organisation that owns Wikipedia & unites Wikipedians and
owns other wikis (not WikiLeaks)
Wikimedian=A contributor to Wikimedia wikis including Wikipedia
Wikimania=A place for you to meet other Wikimedians
Planning Wikimedia Ghana= A group of Wikipedians & Wikimedians who want you
to join them.

Sandister Tei

Please, all should endeavour to declare their edits by 12:00 midnight
Sunday 25 August. The agreement was 3 edits per week.
You are all reminded this week to recruit a female each. 1. Tell her about
us 2. Tell her 80+ editors are all males so she is needed. 3. Tell her she
can focus on articles of her areas of interest from technology to make up.
4.When she says yes, help her create an account by giving her this link
first: http://planningwikimediaghana.blogspot.com/p/about-us.html .
Rexford and I will focus on the Cookbook now that we have some images and
also focus on the grant report.
Please this week if you are ushered out, there will be no consideration :D
Also remember to put up your Wikipedia stickers where others can see and
ask questions. Your forehead will do if you don't have a laptop :D
Have a good evening.
