Great job done enock. Definitely a good job. I'm impressed. Way much better than the 2012 WLM. Do you think we can take the WLM 2014 head-on this time? We missed it last year, with your support, and the WLE team, I think we can make that happen this year too. If not WLM, at least it can be Wiki Loves Food (@ato Waakye will be in there, don't worry) or something else, it doesn't necessarily have to be monuments. Thanks for help!

Ooo! I forgot to tweet that Wiki Indaba participants enjoyed *Sobolo* in an African Restaurant. Felix and myself was like yeah! Ato's thing. Welcome Rex. I don't think we can go for WLM. Wiki Loves Africa is about foods right? Then Waakye, Sobolo, Fufu, Banku et all are there.

I think wiki Loves Africa will be in October. But I think running three wiki Loves this year will be great, if not the first in africa. I can help on the Wiki Loves Monuments or something other than monuments this year. I think we can make it. rexford | google.com/+Nkansahrexford | sent from smartphone On Jun 26, 2014 1:05 PM, "Enock Seth Nyamador" &lt;kwadzo459(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-GH mailing list Wikimedia-GH(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-gh

Am sure we can do the Wiki Loves Monuments too.

804 uploads and counting. +Enock, let's run the last social media awareness from now to tomorrow via WikiGh a/c(s). Let's get uploads to a 1000.

Hi all, Looking at the Wikipedia page for Alhaji Grunshi <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alhaji_Grunshi> I was wondering whether there are any sources giving more biographical information about the man himself. As he was the first soldier in British service to fire a shot in the First World War on 7 August 1914, the page might attract some attention on the 100th anniversary. Also the anniversary might yeild some more sources of information about him. all the best Fabian User:Leutha _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-GH mailing list Wikimedia-GH(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-gh

Interesting read there. Unfortunately, no details of where he was born or the name of the family was given. It would have been possible to go to the village in which he came from or something or that sort to gather more details about him. Will look around to see if we can get clues as to where he actually came from in Ghana.

Hi, I get the impression he was recruited into the *Gold Coast Constabulary*, renamed the *Gold Coast Regimen <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghana_Regiment>t* in 1901. He was clearly a Muslim who had been to Mecca <http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/alhaji>. Check Keta <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keta>, about the Hausa <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hausa_people> Constabulary based there. He may have originated in Nigeria? Interesting that the first person to fire a shot for the British in the First World War was a Muslim! Could make a good DYK? all the best Fabian User:Leutha On 26 June 2014 at 14:29 Nkansah Rexford &lt;nkansahrexford(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: Thanks for sharing. Interesting read there.

Indeed not much is know about him, not even his name is known. "Ahaji" is a title and "Grunshi" (which is not a Hausa name) might have been derived from his background, the *Grunshi people <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gurunsi_peoples>.* User:Masssly On Thursday, 26 June 2014, 19:28, Nkansah Rexford < nkansahrexford(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: Hahaha, it can really be a dyk indeed.
