Wikipedians who are focused tend to stay longer
by masssly＠ymail.com 23 May '15

23 May '15

I find this paper quite an interesting read: A Latent Space Analysis of Editor Lifecycles in Wikipedia Xiangju Qin, Derek Greene, Pádraig Cunningham arXiv:1407.7736v1 In it, the authors suggest that Wikipedians who are focused tend to stay longer editing the encyclopedia and they’ve actually shown that understanding patterns of change in user behavior can be of practical importance for community management and maintenance. Regrettably, its filled with heavy jargon and statistical models but it might just be useful to those working on the Editor Retention Program? Best -Masssly Sent from Windows Mail

What are you up to on Africa Day? Reviewing your membership. Pick your Tshirt.
by Sandister Tei 21 May '15

21 May '15

Hi. *Africa Day* In the global Wikimedian and Wikipedian community we host events called editathons <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edit-a-thon> where we (editors) meet and edit Wikipedia articles. Africa Day which is celebrating AU is on Monday the 25 May. It would have been a good time to meet but the notice is short. So in place of a meet up, let's head over and try to clean up this all important Africa Day <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edit-a-thon>article for the holiday. You can start contributing today. *Your membership* The community has a practice of checking if members are meeting their 5 articles per month active editor requirement. It is stated on our Join us page <http://www.wmgh.org/p/about-us.html>. Please note that to be a member of this community it is a *must*. You will always be a Wikimedian if you so wish. But to be a member of this usergroup, please you must live by example and maintain contributions. User groups promote the WMF wikis and recruit editors. User groups need active members who know what they are doing to be able to also recruit others. Such active members are those we retain in the group. I repeat you can always edit the wikis when you like. But to stay in this community, you have to maintain good editing practices. *Tshirts/ stickers / buttons* Members who are retained can have some community souvenirs. We will be contacting you on one-on-one basis to see how you are faring and also give you a date and time to pick your souvenirs.

Thank you for the edits to suggested articles so far. Don't be afraid, don't procrastinate, just jump in and help when an article is shared here. It's not hard, and besides if you need help, ask away. Another article which could use your help is the Accra Mall <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accra_Mall> article. Let's meet there. Look out for me user: sandiooses in the edit log, I will be helping out there too!

About Vigil Photos Re: Dumsor and Yvonne. Nelson articles

In such cases I usually contact owners, help them create a Wikimedia Commons account, make them aware they have the option to instruct users to attribute it to them and the they upload. I tell you it's been a far more easier route than any I have ever known.

Learn to draw tables on Wikipedia
by Enock Seth Nyamador 19 May '15

19 May '15

Hi All, Not all of us here can create a Wikitable; let me say draw a table on Wikipedia or using Wiki Mark Up in general. If you want to challenge yourself this weekend or sometime then take a look at this introduction [1] and start applying them when needed. You can apply Wikitables when talking about awards or nominations. You can try converting [2] to wikitable. First try practicing in you Sandbox. Feel free to talk to myself of the list if you need help. All the best, 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table/Introduction_to_tables 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yvonne_Nelson#Awards_and_nominations - Enock twitter: @Enock4seth enockseth.github.io | [[User:Enock4seth]]
