Did You Know yesterday was Roald Dahl day? Dahl (1916-1970) was a British novelist, short story writer, poet, fighter pilot and screenwriter. Some of Dahl's works include James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, The Witches, and The BFG. Have you read Roald Dahl, contribute quotes from his works to this page bit.ly/UaBaYv. A new editing task to that effect has been added to our noticeboard. Please check the Ghana Wikipedians' noticeboard for details bit.ly/Q7KECI For the newcomers if you need help please contact me Regards,Sandister Tei___________________________________________________ Writer | Social Media Trainer & Manager | WikimedianW: about.me/sandister Planning Wikimedia Ghana M: +233 20 357 2222 Linkedin Facebook Twitter Google Plus

Project for Cookbook/Wikibooks
by Sandister Tei 12 Sep '12

12 Sep '12

Hello guys, As part of our out programmes I suggest we should contribute to the Cookbook in Wikibooks. You can check it out here http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cookbook:Table_of_Contents We will also strive to get listed here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_recipes Now with this project I am trying to enlist the help of Mrs. Yvonne Nduom wife of our own Paa Kwesi Nduom. I chose Mrs. Nduom because I have followed her Facebook page for a while now and she is very keen on Ghanaian recipes. She posts about them on her official page. Also being a woman public figure with such an interest she will be the best person to also endorse the Cookbook on Wikibooks. She is likely to participate because I think this also good for her public outreach in support of her husband’s campaign. What’s more, food blogging and writing is currently trending. I believe it will be a worthy cause. My plan is simple, after our outreach in Accra (I hope you have informed yourself on this) students in Achimota School and Accra Girls will be selected to collect articles from Mrs. Nduom. They will work with her with supervision from a team member. Mrs. will create a Wikimedia account and (become a Wikimedia of course) and she will contribute the recipes all in her name to her credit. We will seek permission from her to use her name on our social media platforms to make some noise about getting aspiring first ladies on board our outreach. At the end of the day, PWMGH wins, Mrs. Nduom wins, Wikimedia wins, Ghanaian content on Wikimedia wikis also win. If it is successful and other aspiring first ladies are interested, more culturally diverse recipes will make it to Cookbook and Ghana wins some more. End of project. Kindly let me know what you think. Tasks: Ato any advice? Oral can you help me write a letter to Mrs Nduom? Rex should I add this to the grant? Georgina, Kweku, Roy and co you have been quiet what do you think? Will you volunteer time for meetings with Mrs. Nduom if she gives as the nod and come with me to Motown and Accra Girls?

by rupert THURNER 11 Sep '12

11 Sep '12

fyi, an article by sue gardner which, at least imo, shows nicely one of the ways to write a wikipedia article: http://suegardner.org/2012/08/15/how-to-write-a-wikipedia-article-its-easy/ one could add a hint to put a template to prevent people deleting the article immediately ... but ... thats a detail :) rupert.

Fwd: WLM Video

FYI -------- Original Message -------- Subject: WLM Video Date: Sat, 08 Sep 2012 00:19:38 +0000 From: Nkansah Rexford <nkansahrexford(a)gmail.com> To: Wiki Loves Monuments <wikilovesmonuments(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Sorry, but this might be a bit off-topic I worked on a video explaining the basic idea behind WLM found here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDiu4-xdLKE using a 3D character and some slide presentation for use in my country. Anyone to help make the video very nice and better-looking? My laptop really struggled several days to get that short 3d video rendered. Its got no voice-over yet. Any help? Any ideas, comments to make that video nicer? I'm from Ghana and we plan using it to introduce briefly what WLM is. Sorry for the 'off-topicness' Rexford.
