Hi.
*Africa Day*
In the global Wikimedian and Wikipedian community we host events called
editathons <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edit-a-thon> where we (editors)
meet and edit Wikipedia articles. Africa Day which is celebrating AU is on
Monday the 25 May. It would have been a good time to meet but the notice is
short. So in place of a meet up, let's head over and try to clean up this
all important Africa Day <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edit-a-thon>article
for the holiday. You can start contributing today.
*Your membership*
The community has a practice of checking if members are meeting their 5
articles per month active editor requirement. It is stated on our Join us
page <http://www.wmgh.org/p/about-us.html>. Please note that to be a member
of this community it is a *must*. You will always be a Wikimedian if you so
wish. But to be a member of this usergroup, please you must live by example
and maintain contributions.
User groups promote the WMF wikis and recruit editors. User groups need
active members who know what they are doing to be able to also recruit
others. Such active members are those we retain in the group.
I repeat you can always edit the wikis when you like. But to stay in this
community, you have to maintain good editing practices.
*Tshirts/ stickers / buttons*
Members who are retained can have some community souvenirs. We will be
contacting you on one-on-one basis to see how you are faring and also give
you a date and time to pick your souvenirs.

Thank you for the edits to suggested articles so far. Don't be afraid,
don't procrastinate, just jump in and help when an article is shared here.
It's not hard, and besides if you need help, ask away.
Another article which could use your help is the Accra Mall
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accra_Mall> article.
Let's meet there. Look out for me user: sandiooses in the edit log, I will
be helping out there too!

In such cases I usually contact owners, help them create a Wikimedia
Commons account, make them aware they have the option to instruct users to
attribute it to them and the they upload. I tell you it's been a far more
easier route than any I have ever known.

Hi All,
Not all of us here can create a Wikitable; let me say draw a table on
Wikipedia or using Wiki Mark Up in general.
If you want to challenge yourself this weekend or sometime then take a look
at this introduction [1] and start applying them when needed.
You can apply Wikitables when talking about awards or nominations. You can
try converting [2] to wikitable. First try practicing in you Sandbox.
Feel free to talk to myself of the list if you need help.
All the best,
1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table/Introduction_to_tables
2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yvonne_Nelson#Awards_and_nominations
