General Community Updates (3)

Hello, *Newcomers:* I hope you will try the Sandbox exercise. After the training, I will have to hand- pick those performing to stay in the group. Ours is to train Ghanaians and spread the word about Wikipedia in Ghana. But so the outreach and group lives on, we also retain some of the people we train, to help further the cause. You are always welcome to be a Wikipedian/Wikimedian. You are entitled to your personal Wikipedian status. But to be that plus a Planning Wikimedia Ghana member, you'll need to work a little bit harder than if you were on your own. People who make the cut are those we can rely on to take care of Ghanaian articles, represent us any day anywhere and also help the group during outreach. You can't do these things if you are not active, you see? So, after training, only active community members will stay. Thanks.

Nice meeting (and geeking out) with you all! Hope to meet you all in the future. Also if anybody is interested, the Peace Corps is having a competition between countries to see which country can contribute the most to Open Street Maps (www.openstreetmap.org). Let me know if you're interested in signing up and helping us out in mapping Ghana. Best, -J

Training: Cheatsheet (Chris take note.)
by Sandister Tei 10 Nov '13

10 Nov '13

Finally, visit this page on Wikipedia called Cheat sheet<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Cheatsheet> . Use the mark up there to create a user page for yourself. Check Kobe's user page <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Kobebigs> and model yours after it using what you have learnt so far. You can get creative also. On Monday November 18, you will all pick an article of your interest each to edit. *Chris*, you will get started on Gasmilla's article on that day. Any questions are welcome.

David M. Hoffman

So David M. Hoffman of Internews came to give a talk at my school. I used my I'm a Wikipedian line (as usual) to go talk to him. His Wikipedia article needs work! Anyone who hasn't edited in a while is welcome to join. I need 3 active members who have knowledge of digital tech and willing to engage in some PR/communications role to email directly and register their interest. He has turned in his photo and some other material we can use. His article is here <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_M._Hoffman>.

Training: Get typing in the sandbox
by Sandister Tei 03 Nov '13

03 Nov '13

Here is a post for some very simple tips to formatting when editing.<http://planningwikimediaghana.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/training-do-this-exerc…> After reading/watching the post, try and practice in your sandbox. That will get rid of any fear you have and give you that first feel of editing something. Comments and feedback welcome.
