Hello all, We have about 5 more events to go in 2016. At these events we are going to recruit new members, give those who prefer to edit in groups the opportunity to do so, and also teach members tips. The group is seeking a grant to give you brunch when you attend, and also give transportation and internet data allowance for those that opt to volunteer. *Please head over to the grant page to review the money being requested* <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid/Wikimedia_Ghana_User_G…>. You can use the opportunity to join volunteers or trainers if you want. If you don't know how to add your thoughts, let me know, I'll help you.

Wikipedia Box Trip to Dzemini
by Sandister Tei 30 Oct '16

30 Oct '16

SOLARKIOSK is a Bloomberg award winning German company building solar kiosks around Africa which allows access to internet and other things. They have about five in Ghana and some allow access to Wikipedia and it’s called the Wikipedia Box. Through Wikimedia France they have established contact with our group and wants to build a relationship. They have arranged a trip to visit one of the kiosks which includes the Wikipedia box in Dzemini in the Volta Region. I thought it’d be nice to go see the facility. Is there anyone who wants to represent our group on this all important trip to Dzemini? SOLAR KIOSK will take you to Dzemini this Tuesday. All you need to do is arrive at their office at 7.45 am at their office in East Legon. Reach out if you want to go. It will even be great if you live in the Volta Region.

Pizes to be won, join in! Fwd: [African Wikimedians] Destubathon reminder
by Sandister Tei 27 Oct '16

27 Oct '16

Please see project below. If need any help, ask. Regards, Sandister Tei Via mobile ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Florence Devouard" <anthere(a)anthere.org> Date: 27 Oct 2016 9:43 a.m. Subject: [African Wikimedians] Destubathon reminder To: "Mailing list for African Wikimedians" < african-wikimedians(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, "James Anderson" < diegoanderhijo(a)gmail.com> Cc: Hello This is a short note to remind you that the African destubathon is still ongoing and that your participation would be very appreciated. This will be held from Saturday 15th October to Sunday 27th November. It is a general stub elimination contest, with the intention to cover all topics (with a special push on Women). The idea is simple: blast away as many of our 37,000 + Africa stubs as possible! There is US$2380 (about £1945) available in total for prizes for this, to whoever who fleshes out the most stubs from every country of Africa, the most expansions for geography, wildlife and women, and for producing Good Articles. To "destub" an article all you have to do is ensure it's minimum 1.5 kB (1500 characters) readable prose in total, which you can measure using this tool. The existing text and text you add is expected to all be verifiable and adequately sourced to reliable sources, with the expected Wikipedia:Citations drawn up. Whoever "destubs" the most articles for a given country wins a prize, and whoever wins the most "destubs" for the most countries will be crowned the overall winner. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Africa/T he_Africa_Destubathon Please relay to your local user groups :) Anthere _______________________________________________ African-Wikimedians mailing list African-Wikimedians(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/african-wikimedians

Intro to Wikimedia @ Koforidua Technical Next Week
by Nkansah Rexford 26 Oct '16

26 Oct '16

Good day, At Barcamp Koforidua over the weekend last week, I met Mary, a lecturer at Koforidua Technical University. Mary got interested with the Wikimedia word, and has discussed with her team. WGUG has been invited to run a session at KTU. Will be sending a proposal letter before end of today. In the letter, we're asked to indicate one of the days below, and explain what we plan to do that day. Probable days given us are next week, 26th (Wednesday) and 27th (Thursday) of October. We been given a max of 3 hours, but I strongly suggest we stick to a max of 1 hour 30 minutes So, anyone wanna start the proposal letter and share with us? Do we have a letterhead, as in, WGUG? What should be the focus of the sessions? Wikipedia? Wikidata? Wikimedia Commons? or any other sister project site? Wikipedia Education Program?
