*Mind my typing errors if any I am really tired* * * *Thank You* Nii, Rexford, Enock, Barimah, Elorm, Oral and Felix thank you for attending the meeting and those that helped Kwabena upload pictures also, thank you. *This Week* This week on Facebook & Twitter we are trying to get people to take photos of the native Ghanaian dishes they will be eating so they can donate them to Commons. Kwabena took the lead. It is very important we succeed at this because it was part of our outreach goals to put these pictures we collect on Cookbook. *Mailing List* * * *Rex please make sure the ff: *Georgina, Isaac Mensah, Claude are back in the mailing list at least by Tuesday. So we can continue talking about raising our edits. Also add my email *sandistertei(a)gmail.com to the list. Remove sandistertei(a)live.com*. *To all members kindly use my Gmail when trying to reach me henceforth.* I learnt Claude is editing silently.I think it's about time we looked for such people we recruited/ trained because it is essential we mention that in our reports. Please look around, in case some one on this list<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AiCvwpGu0gy9dGFwRnF5WXFuUGphbE…> is editing silently, they were recruited by BarCamp or in a school and we need to mention them in our reports. *More On Recruits* Rexford kindly add the names of those recruited from All Nations University to this sheet<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AiCvwpGu0gy9dGFwRnF5WXFuUGphbE…> to keep all the recruits in one doc. *Enock *please add BC Tema recruits also. *Editing* I am trying my best to make well stocked to help us all find one central place for links and tips. Go ther often for your ease of community life. Please this week as agreed, 3 edits to Commons, Cookbook and Wikipedia is the requirement. Please we have agreed to do this willingly, so let's do just that. *Assignments For This Week - Try and read these it will be good for you to get some basics* What is Wikipedia? <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia> Who is Wikimedia? <http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Home> Who is a Wikimedian? <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedians> www.sandistertei.com | Planning Wikimedia Ghana<http://planningwikimediaghana.blogspot.com/>| Tei Ink <http://www.teiink.com/> | Tei Ink Press<http://teiinkpress.teiink.com/> +233203572222

Indexing stub articles
by Nkansah Rexford 19 Aug '13

19 Aug '13

Good morning. Myself and Enoch have looked around for a way to grab all articles that need improvement about Ghana. I personally got some that I think will be of very importance, though not the exact tool I was looking for. Here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Ghana_stubs My recommendation: It will be a good practice to add categories to articles of Ghana from now onwards, as it will help us to pull them all together as and when we need them in the future. Though the list above doesn't cover all articles that are stub from Ghana, lets make it our goal to add to categories any Ghana-related article to such a category. Categories How-to: To add an article to a category, simple scroll to the bottom of the article. You should see 'Categories' written, with some '+' sign next to it. Click on the '+' sign, type in the category, ex. 'Ghana stubs', and press Ok. That's it This spreadsheet document<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AjYMD3-MMBy8dGF4RkgyRHhqdnR6LW…>contains other useful links to stub articles of Ghana. Please add in more stub category about Ghana when you come across them. Our goal is to populate enough stub articles about Ghana, enough to feed the about-to-grow recruits of pwmgh Lemme know of any problems you come across.
