Thank you for setting this up. I have sent an email which asks for more information. We will use this to generate some social media buzz and prepare what we need to so the article is not thrown off the wiki when you create it.

Helping Nigeria start a community
by Sandister Tei 07 Mar '14

07 Mar '14

So Orabile a Wikipedian from Bostwana encouraged a Nigerian (Omotayo Fagbohun) to start a group in Nigeria. I gave him some advice on how we started and so Omo contacted me for further questions. I happen to be in the same class as the Deputy-Editor-In-Chief of the News Agency of Nigeria who thinks that Wikipedia is awesome. Guess what? He wants to be a Wikipedian. I helped him create an account. So I have linked him to Omo so that they can start their usergroup asap. If anyone has something to contribute, let me know. Enock please remind me to blog this and plan how you can make use of this on our social media.

Econet Zero of #Zimbabwe grants free access to Wikipedia, Coursera, edX - via internet
by Oral Ofori 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

It appears Zimbabwe service provider has followed the earlier example of a Southern African firm to grant free browsing of Wikipedia and other sites. http://www.techzim.co.zw/2014/03/econet-zero-is-the-greatest-thing-to-happe… I know guys, some of you are praying for a mobile or Internet service provider in Ghana to emulate these examples. For now I can join you in your prayers and continue to bring you exciting news about wiki from Africa and the world. Oral www.about.me/oralofori

Hi Everybody, I hope 99% of us on this mailing list knows what am referring to. The word "Tweaa" has gone international. His name is *Gabriel Barima* Who wants to start a bio article/stub on him? Am ready to help. (I can do it myself but want someone to learn, get some edits going too.) Best - Enock

Snarky comments not welcome
by Sandister Tei 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

During the usual vandalism and edit warring party on the Ghana article in the past weeks, I passed by the talk page to warn members protesting certain changes to be careful they don't get blocked. Whatever they had to offer, should be done in accordance to Wikipedia laws. You could be fighting for the right thing but an admin can have you thrown off Wikipedia and it will shock you. A member of this community misunderstood and gave a sarcastic response to the warning. He further came to this mailing list to say how disappointed he is of my comments on blocking. Now the context of my warning was, a Ghanaian account Rex and I saw online before we even thought of PWMGH had 1000s of edits but was blocked. Many of you don't know this. Now just because you can now type Wiki markup and you are building your edits and editing confidence fast, doesn't mean you know better than those of us who invited you on board. Well maybe you do. But if that demeanour will not earn the group more members to help us meet our foundation target, but might cost you your account and waste our investments in outreach, or be a nuisance to a community manager's work, there is the door. Wikimedia Foundation is meritocratic. It works with individuals as well as teams. Planning Wikimedia Ghana prefers the team approach. We do outreach but really after one is confident in their knowledge, once again there is the door. When someone doesn't understand what I say around here, you might as well get clarification. I don't mind strong opinions but for snarky comments and innuendos, I am not a fan. Sandister Tei ----- Cardiff University JOMEC -- International Journalism www.sandistertei.com | +447448223686
