Re: [Wikimedia-GH] Camera + Wikipedia Article

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 01/13/2014 09:34 AM, wikimedia-gh-request(a)lists.wikimedia.org 쓴 글: > Send Wikimedia-GH mailing list submissions to > wikimedia-gh(a)lists.wikimedia.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-gh > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > wikimedia-gh-request(a)lists.wikimedia.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > wikimedia-gh-owner(a)lists.wikimedia.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Wikimedia-GH digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
