Seth has made a good discovery. I am happy he is taking the initiative.
I think one thing I have forgotten to push here that worked for me when I
first joined is initiative. Go out there, and find things to do.
Sometimes I think discovering mistakes and coming to ask the group to edit
together is a waste of time. We should just go ahead and fix stuff. I have
done that with the Ghana article.
There is a "robot" called SuggestBot that posts articles that need your
help on your user talk page. Google it and install it if you haven't
already. Set it to Ghana related articles.
If you really want to advance in your editing, look it up to help you find
articles easily.
I think by the end of this year all of us should improve/create/nominate to
delete/different useful Wikipedia tasks on about 100 articles. SuggestBot
will help meet your target.

Sandister Tei

Hi all,
Quick one.
This community is purely voluntary non full-time one. However we allow each
other take positions so that work can still get done.
This operational year *(August 2013-August 2014),* I am calling on all
members who feel they have the time and interest in serving the community.
*Needs of the community:*
Strong social media and traditional media presence
Constant updates on WMF news and updates of interesting things to do on
Wikipedia
Checking editing progress
General care-taking of the team
Project management and follow ups
These will be the needs that will inform the positions coming up. If anyone
wants to talk to me about these or has anything in mind, contact me.
There will be voting btw. Nothing complex, just getting everyone involved.
Regards,
Sandister Tei

If you sent me a message regarding a community post which I didn't reply
please don't take offence and contact me again. I just saw some emails I
never read.
Apologies to all affected.
And in any case, if more than one person wants a position, we will vote.
Apologies again.
hi,
fyi, an old story written new, where access to users ip addresses is not
desirable:
http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2014/02/arabic-wikipedia/
one can construct of course scenarios that even being a normal admin is not
desireable. e.g. be president of wikimedia Ghana, and being wikipedia admin
at the same time probably is not the most brilliant of all ideas.
