Hi Dan,
I used Firefox on my laptop.
Update: Tried accessing with Zero balance SIM (both Chrome and Firefox),
WIkipedia homepage is loaded once and that's all. You can't access any

Hi Enock,
Thanks for confirming what you have experienced. One more question: which
browser did you use? Note that some proxi browsers like Opera sometimes
don't zero-rated Wikipedia. In case you have used Opera, please try another
browser like Chrome, Safari, etc.
GH Wikimedians: As Enock noted, your help on testing the service will be
appreciated. If you can, please test Wikipedia Zero on m.wikipedia.org and
let us know if you see the "Free Wikipedia" banner and/or you are being
charged.
Thanks again,
Adele

Those familiar with IFTTT, I just found some recipes
<https://ifttt.com/recipes?channel=wikipedia> that will make your
Wikipedian life nicer.
Those not familiar, IFTTT is service that allows you to automate tasks on
the internet so you don't have to do them yourself repetitively.

Did you know that the ratio of female biographies to males on Wikipedia in the Ghana category is 6.5% ?
-Masssly
Sent from Samsung Mobile.
I don't know what you guys might think are the causes but two reasons that suddenly come to mind are that
1. Males are more likely to write about men, just as females would women; there are more male editors in Ghana at the moment.
2. All editors are more likely to write about stuff they can find references to; are there not available references to Ghanaian female biographies on the Internet?

Greetings,
Is been a long time I tried using Wikipedia Zero [1] from MTN Ghana on PC.
I remember I started using WP Zero before it was announced officially; that
during the piloting.
Yesterday, I tried to access Wikipedia from MTN thinking Zero is still in
control. By the time I realized my 60 GHp was no where to be found after
visiting just two pages.
I don't know if the problem is from me or MTN. If you're using MTN I'll
plead with you to try on your PC and Smartphones so we can know what is
actually going on.
Best,

Subject: [Wikimedia-l] 5 New Visiting Scholars Positions Open (now under
Wiki Ed)
To: "wikimediaannounce-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org" <
wikimediaannounce-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, "wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org"
<wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
The Wikipedia Library <https://enwp.org/wiki/WP:TWL> is pleased to announce
five new Wikipedia Visiting Scholars
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:VS> positions
with US and Canadian universities and research organizations as part of an
program expansion.
Visiting Scholars are remote, unpaid Wikipedia editors who become
affiliated with top research libraries. They receive full access to the
partner library’s e-resources to expand topics of institutional interest
which also need development on Wikipedia. This marks the second successful
round of institutions participating in the program
<http://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/03/17/wikipedia-research-library/>.
These new positions will be coordinated and managed by the Wikipedia
Library’s movement partner, the Wiki Education Foundation
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Education_Foundation> (Wiki Ed). Wiki
Ed will process applications, connect to schools, and drive the growth of
the program in the North American region. They are in an excellent position
to help expand Visiting Scholars because of their extensive existing
connections to universities and desire to support Wikipedia’s best content
creators.
We invite Wikipedia editors who specialize in content creation, and would
like access to a full research library, to apply for these new unpaid,
remote affiliate positions at the following research libraries:
- *McMaster University
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McMaster_University>* is a public
university in Hamilton, Ontario
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamilton,_Ontario>, Canada. The library’s
holdings in their Division of Research Collections and Archives contain
many valuable and unique resources, with emphases in areas such as peace
and war (with a particular emphasis on the Holocaust
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust> and resistance), Bertrand
Russell <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertrand_Russell>, Canadian
literature and popular culture.
- *DePaul University <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DePaul_University>*
is
a private university in Chicago <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago>,
Illinois. The library is looking for Wikipedians who can focus on Chicago
history, Catholic social justice studies, and/or Vincentian Studies
(including French history during the Napoleonic Era
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleonic_Era>).
- *The Smithsonian Institution
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Smithsonian_Institution>*,
established in 1846 “for the increase and diffusion of knowledge,” is a
group of museums and research centers administered by the Government of
the
United States. The Warren M. Robbins Library of the National Museum of
African Art
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Museum_of_African_Art> is
looking for a Wikipedian in Residence that can focus on modern African
art
and artists.
- *The University of Pittsburgh
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Pittsburgh>* (PITT) is a
state-related research university in Pittsburgh
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittsburgh>, Pennsylvania. This Visiting
Scholar position will work with PITT’s Archives Service Center, Special
Collections and Center for American Music to focus on: Pittsburgh and
Pennsylvanian history including urban renewal in Pittsburgh, childhood in
the industrial era of Pittsburgh, music composers of Pittsburgh,
Pittsburgh
theater or significant literary figures from Pittsburgh; Colonial
American
history; historic American songs; or philosophy of science.
- *The University of Washington
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Washington>* (UW), commonly
referred to as Washington or, informally, UDub, is a public research
university in Seattle <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle>,
Washington. This Visiting Scholar position will work with UW’s Special
Collections and focus on labor and the working classes in the Pacific
Northwest, all aspects of Pacific Northwest history and literature, and
Pacific Northwest architecture.
Full application information is available at the Wiki Education Foundation
signup page <http://wikiedu.org/visitingscholars/apply/>.<
http://wikiedu.org/visitingscholars/apply/>
Wiki Ed also invites editors to apply for a Visiting Scholar placement
pool. The pool will help grow the Visiting Scholar program by creating a
list of willing and interested candidates to offer to new partner
libraries. With the interests and needs of pre-qualified Wikipedians in
hand, Wiki Ed can work to find libraries that match your interests.
Access to research libraries as part of one of these visiting scholar
positions creates considerable opportunities for Wikipedia editors. It
allows them access to services and tools, including multiple paywalled
databases, integrated search and discovery tools, research collections and
recommendations from specialist librarians, and expert consultation. In
return, editors can begin a conversation with the library, which creates
opportunities for greater understanding and communication between these
universities and the wider Wikipedia community.
