Hello<div><br></div><div>for months, I&#39;ve been looking at the editing trend from Ghana for a while now. One thing I noticed is that, the willingness of Ghanaians to contribute to Wikipedia and other sister projects is what is lacking. The means is there. Many spend several hours daily sharing and commenting and talking on social media platforms like Facebook. Thus, internet connectivity and time constraints isn&#39;t the hindrance.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Maybe, another excuse that might sound plausible might be the fact that, many don&#39;t know they can contribute to Wikipedia or the others. Fine! If that&#39;s the case, how do we tackle that in our own niche? Where does it start from? Is social media not enough to tell our people they can contribute to Wiki? Well, maybe patience is important. But statistically and mathematically, if I am to project the contributions coming from Ghana currently, I don&#39;t see an increase of 10% in the next 5 to 10 years. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Are we doing something wrong? If no, then what aren&#39;t we doing very well? We kinda have many enlisted on our meta page, but practically, the edits aren&#39;t flowing. Many articles about Ghana are started and expanded by non-Ghanaians. </div>
<div><br></div><div>For me, I see reluctance, feeling of less necessity to contribute and no want-to-help-others feeling but want-to-learn-from-others attitude. What&#39;s the breakthrough?</div><div><br></div><div>thanks</div>
