Hello everyone,
Based on what has happened since I last sent this email, here's some very good info on creating Wikipedia pages.
I am also sharing here just in case someone has more info and can react to some of what is below and educate us all. I am also going to suggest Justice or whoever is in a webmaster role blogs about this after we have great info.
- Basically, Wikipedia editors don't need permission to run a page for any notable Ghanaian or anyone else. Neither, is the goodwill needed before the page is created.
- If it is found out that the one editing is associated with the person whose page is being edited, it's conflict of interest and can be blocked from Wikipedia
- Paid editing whereby people pay for others to edit Wikipedia pages for them is not encouraged and more info is here. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/ wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest
- It is against the rules of Wikipedia for a staff person to be editing a Wikipedia page of organization or individual they're involved in. Those found involved can be blocked.
- Once the article is on Wikipedia every editor can edit the page so far as they have reliable sources backing it. However, editors editing this must not have a conflict of interest. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/ wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest

Hello everyone,
I have a request for a Wikipedia page. I just realised Adina Thembi Ndamse who won female vocalist of the year and who sang 'Too Late' doesn't have a Wikipedia page.
Would anyone want to work on it? I would put you in touch with her so that she provides all needed info.
I don't have a Wikipedia page either and would love to have mine also worked on. :-) I would provide info as well if anyone wants to work on it.
Thanks in advance, Ato
