[Wikimedia-GH] Message board winners, sandboxes, watching a wiki page etc
by Sandister Tei 11 Jan '13

11 Jan '13

I am happy that you have found your sandboxes and you have learnt to sign your comments. The winner will be announced on twitter and our facebook page today. However the winner gets to choose 1 other person to receive something. So I encourage more people to locate the sandboxes, type the text so the winner can choose them to receive a prizes too. Check the message board. I left a message. Usually you receive notifications when a wiki page you are active on has been edited. Please read the email and visit the page to see what has changed there. If you don't get notifications, scroll to the bottom of the page in edit mode and select "Watch this page" That way if you are a contributor to an article, you can keep an eye on it.

[Wikimedia-GH] What I Can Do?
by Nkansah Rexford 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

Hi everyone, Wikimedia is a big platform, and knowing where to start in contributing can sometimes be confusing. A simple trick to get you going in contributing is by just searching for stuffs that interest you on Wikipedia. Perhaps, those articles might need help. After searching for an article on Wikipedia, you don't find the exact article or even a section of it in any other article, then you can go ahead to create the article. Visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents to learn more on how to contribute. There are so many articles that need expansion. Let me give you an area you can look to help. Polytechnics in Ghana, Towns in your localities and Foods and Dishes in your area. Writing an article or expanding an article on Wikipedia should not feel so far as if in the stars. They're just beside you and its easy too. Why not give that a try! -- +Rexford <https://plus.google.com/107174506890941499078> +Blender Academy<https://plus.google.com/b/103109918657638322478/103109918657638322478/posts>
