[Wikimedia-GH] FW: Collaborating on Digital/New Media in Ghana Wikipedia Article
by Sandister Tei 23 Feb '13

23 Feb '13

Hello guys. Some Blogging Ghana members are interested in collaborating on a Wikipedia article. See details below and help out if you can. From: sandistertei(a)live.com To: bloggingghana(a)googlegroups.com CC: nkansahrexford(a)gmail.com; oralofori(a)gmail.com; abocco(a)gmail.com; bridget.daizy(a)gmail.com; niiabbey(a)gmail.com Subject: Collaborating on Digital/New Media in Ghana Wikipedia Article Date: Fri, 22 Feb 2013 16:55:00 +0000 Hello Blogging Ghana, As I informed you earlier, we should collaborate on a Wikipedia article concerning our new media. Those that are interested in collaborating on a Wikipedia article to capture Ghana’s progress and beginnings in Digital/online/new media may proceed to create Wikipedia user accounts here. Also, we need a title that will cover the intended scope. Digital Media in Ghana, Online Media in Ghana, New Media in Ghana? Which is better?Digital Media is so broad we could even add the digital billboards but I doubt we want to go there. Online Media seems somewhat narrow so I decided on New Media until we all come to another agreement that it should change. If anyone has an introductory paragraph ready, sign in I started the article here. Let this article on new media itself guide us (not limit us though) click edit and just go to the back-end and see things for yourself. I have added an image. Images can include infographics and so on. The Apple fan boys can also get pictures of people using macs after all we want the truth told about consumer electronics use in Ghana as far as new media is concerned. I will advice that any tech company wishing to be mentioned should go about adding their names and activities with discretion. The format of writing should be encyclopedic not marketing. I also think Ghana Decides will need a subsection of its own. As such, if the GD team is interested, they should create an account, upload some pictures of people engaged in GD activities and release those pictures under Creative Commons license preferably with attribution. There is also a Wikipedia training on the 2nd of March and if anyone is interested in attending, let me know. There will be free internet available just bring your tablet or laptop. There are two spots left. After the article is up, those that enjoyed editing and contributing are welcome to join Planning Wikimedia Ghana. People already exposed to social media make the best of members. We would love to have you on board. Regards,Sandister Tei --- Writer | Social Media Consultant | WikimedianW: sandistertei.com Planning Wikimedia Ghana M: +233 20 357 2222

We are human beings and our bonds strengthen more through face-to-face meetings and work sessions. Some of us at the Affiliations Committee plan to attend Wikimania this summer and we would really like to see you all there and interact with other Wikimedians from around the globe and, who knows? maybe during Wikimania some new ideas that you can use in your community start to develop! The deadline for applying is 23:59 UTC this Friday, February 22, 2013, so if you haven't applied yet, hurry! Please also forward this reminder to other members of your group. Best regards, Bence Damokos, Affiliations Committee [1]: http://wikimania2013.wikimedia.org [2]: http://wikimania2013.wikimedia.org/wiki/Scholarships -- You are receiving this e-mail because you have been in contact with the Affiliations Committee about setting up an affiliate and the Affiliations Committee would like the widest possible representation of volunteers to be present at Wikimania.

[Wikimedia-GH] WikiWomen's History Month
by Sarah Stierch 16 Feb '13

16 Feb '13

[Pardon the cross-posts - and the English message] - Please forward as well! Hi everyone, March is Women's History Month, and this will be the second year for WikiWomen's History Month, an *international* collaborative event that takes place offline at edit-a-thons and online through project focuses. Events and projects focus on improving women's history coverage on any language project. We have a page on English Wikipedia, like last year, to gather all of the events: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiWomen%27s_History_Month So far we have events in South America, Europe and the United States. I hope you'll consider throwing an event in your town, village, or city - or do a women's history focus for your WikiProject - large or small!
