---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Deryck Chan" <deryckchan(a)gmail.com> Date: Mar 20, 2013 7:00 PM Subject: [Wikimania-l] Wikimania 2013 scholarships update To: "Wikimania general list (open subscription)" < wikimania-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Cc: Dear Wikimaniacs, Hello again from the 2013 local team for a break from the Wikimania 2014 bid discussions! Every candidate applying for Wikimania 2013 scholarships should have received an email in the past two weeks saying either their application was unsuccessful, or their application is still being considered. Commiserations to all unsuccessful candidates - we hope we can still see you at Wikimania and around the Wikimedia projects. This year we received over 1200 applications for scholarships; about 700 made it past the first round. It is expected that a total of about 125 WMF scholarships and 75 chapter scholarships will be allocated to the best applicants among applicants who advanced past the first round. Candidates should hear about the decisions regarding their applications by the end of April. Don't hesitate to contact the Wikimania 2013 local team at *wikimania-p [at] wikimedia.hk* or the scholarship team at *wikimania-scholarships [at] wikimedia.org* . With best wishes, Deryck Chan Global engagement coordinator, Wikimania 2013 / Wikimedia Hong Kong On behalf of the Wikimania 2013 local team and scholarship committee _______________________________________________ Wikimania-l mailing list Wikimania-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimania-l

[Wikimedia-GH] Visual Editor, April Training
by Sandister Tei 14 Mar '13

14 Mar '13

Hi guys, Aside the android app that every android user (member) is supposed to have, I think we should all go use the visual editor. It makes thing so easy! Go to our social media pages and follow updates. Please keep this in mind that a training in April for tertiary students for 30-40 people will be held on University of Ghana Campus. As usual free computers and internet are available.Those that want to help should let me know. We need flyers to be designed and posted on notice boards in the schoolWe need someone to do photography/videography on that dayWe need people to promote the event on their social media platforms including blogging about itWe need a report and blogpost writerWe need connections to Accra Polytechnic so we can invite them Have you edited an article all month? Make the effort. Those that are working hard, I see you. You are the ones helping build a chapter for our country Ghana. The outreach is being supported by a grant so any costs in line with the provision made in the grant will be settled.

Hi A new way of editing was introduced some time ago but now taking concrete form. Its the wikipedia visual editor. You can now edit wikipedia articles the way you edit your word and google docs documents Login into your wikipedia account. Locate the preferences link at the top right. Then under editing tab, check the enable visual editor. Start editing just the way you wanted. No need for those clumpsy looking syntax of Wikimedia. Though that served the purposes perfectly, abetter way of achieving editing is in. Sign onto it today. Happy editing
