The people who volunteered to blog about the project haven't delivered. I am writing the article myself. Rex kindly add the Akan version:http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Blog/Drafts/Wikipedia_for_election_... and find out how to add your byline to mine. I will take it to Matthew at the end of today.
Also, is there a way to tell the total number of edits to a particular article? I'd like a more effective way to look at the progress/ edits of articles in the project so far.

I'll recommend we hold on this article for now. When the Wikipedia for Election project works well at the end of the election, we can have a solid ground to base the article on. For now, the question is, what if it doesn't turn out as expected?
Lets see how the online project fairs, and then we can write something more compelling at the end of it.
I think we'll have to also use the wikimedia blog sparingly.

hi sandi, looks very good. is it allowed to propose changes via direct edits, like i did? i tried to put in links, the goals you stated in the project description, and make it shorter. if you do not like it, feel free to revert.
the contents on http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Planning_Wikimedia_Ghana/_Wiki_For_Election_2... is also quite interesting, but i am wondering if (some of) it would not better fit on wikipedia itself, like here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Ghana. also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Ghana might deserve one additional line linking to the election article.

Please confirm: I should move the content to a Wikipedia page? Like this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki_For_Election_2012_Ghana Also where do I put a link in the Ghana portal article? The page looks well planned, where can I put the link without disrupting anything.

I would not do it for this project, but consider it at future. In the portals there is a news section where it would fit imo Am 26.11.2012 08:30 schrieb "Sandister Tei" sandister@sandistertei.com:

Its unfortunate Wikipedia doesn't have a much nice looking interface like google Analytics to display traffic from parts of the world.
But you can use this: http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportPageEditsPerCountryOv...
It displays pages per country.
So the little trick you can use is, just visit that site now, pick the current edits, and at the end of the project, go and read the value at that time, then like Ghana Water Company, evaluate the edit change.
