Hi everyone,
My name is Josh. I'm from the Peace Corps. I might be able to assist you all in filming the interview. We own a few high-end cameras, microphones, etc in Ghana. Here is a small sample of our work: http://www.youtube.com/user/PCAVGhana
Also I used to do PR releases in one of my old companies. Let me know if you need any input from me. I saw a few grammatical/spelling errors in the current version but I'm sure they could be fixed.
Hope to hear from you all soon! -Josh

PLANNING WIKIMEDIA GHANA RESPONDS TO GOVERNMENT’S STATEMENT ABOUT WIKIPEDIA
This is in response to a recent publication by citifmonline.comhttp://www.citifmonline.com/index.php?id=1.1657562on January 10th, 2014 about the Government of Ghana struggling to edit information on the Wikipedia page for Ghana.
Planning Wikimedia Ghana http://planningwikimediaghana.blogspot.com/ as a volunteer group has been working for almost 3 years to encourage the use and contribution of Ghanaian content to Wikipedia. We also help other global editors to update content and clean-up inadequate information about Ghanaian topics.
From the publication, Minister for Information and Media Relations, Mahama Ayariga said: “It came to our attention indeed and my colleagues have tried to edit and take out some of the misrepresentations there but they tell me that subsequently whoever it is that is bent on misrepresenting Ghana’s image globally went back and re-edited,”
Wikipedia is a wiki, meaning content is written by any volunteer, (collaboratively) with others.
While writing, important basic rules apply:
- RS, reliable sources, see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Identifying_reliable_sources
- NPOV, meaning neutral point of view, see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view
- COI, conflict of interest editing,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest
Where these rules are not applied by an editor, other editors and administrators do their best to correct that edit when notified.
The information on Ghana's article about corruption has been sourced unfortunately. Unless the credibility of the source is challenged or an update about “economic corruption and economic crime” in Ghana appears, it will remain. However the language was somewhat generalised and one sided.
As Ghanaian Wikipedians, we have looked into the matter and the rules that apply.
Currently, Wikipedia has put the article under some protection from unconfirmed users.
We would like to point out again that as WIkipedia is a wiki "permanent arrangements" cannot be made to keep information static. But Planning Wikimedia Ghana will organise an editing session to clean up the article and also choose a member of our community to monitor the article for a untruthful and biased information.
The government can move to support this effort.
Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia that is used and created by global contributors. Ghanaians can help better the quality of information on Ghana there and that is one of the objectives of Planning Wikimedia Ghana has.
