Hello all.
Sunday January 15, 2017 is Wikipedia day https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Day#Wikipedia_Day_2017 – the wiki's 16th birthday!
Last year we had a party. This year we can try something different. Any ideas? You can share with the community.
Please try and nominate people for the awards. See forwarded email below.

*2016 end of year awards for outstanding members*
Please check this page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Ghana_User_Group_/_2016_Events_%26_Projects and leave your nominations there. See the *End of the year award* section.
*– What do you want the user group to focus on in 2017?*
For example in 2016 the focus was on Wikipedia. You can also use this opportunity to capture your needs as a member by requesting the group to focus on things that'll meet your needs.
Share them here https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfvEthEYMzWerecMxMHAS_4cFavM3GFY8iVsxDaN_oA41j4tQ/viewform .
*– Confirm your 2017 membership*
It's usually a practice to have a public list of user group members. Since 2012, people have joined the group but we have never heard of them during events, elections etc.
Please put your name on the 2017 list here https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Ghana_User_Group#Members_.E2.80.93_2017 if you still are with us and wish to declare it. Just add your username is ok (privacy issues). In case anyone especially from the global community (or anyone) wants to contact you (in the capacity of a Wikimedia Ghana User Group member), they can easily find your user talk page via this list.

What can we do?
I suggest an edit-a-thon. It can be joined remotely or physically to put politics and elections in Ghana on Wikipedia to good shape.
I don't see much done by us these days on Wikipedia.

I think I side with Enock we can use this opportunity to organise and edit-a-thon and work on all political related posts about the elections and a possible create new accounts for notable politicians. And during the edit session we can do a little celebration if we have the means.
Also we can start a social media campaign where everyone who is part of WMGH preaches why they are grateful to Wikipedia and recommend same to others with the hashtag #Wikipedia16.
We can be a bit creative about it by using influencers online who are part of WMGH.

Good morning.
Thanks, Enoch and Justice for your suggestion(s). Since not all group members seem to be on the mailing list, I will post your suggestions on the Whatsapp group page and see if anyone else has any other suggestions. Thereafter, I guess we'll come to a consensus as to the way forward. Enjoy the rest of your day, guys.
Regards, Georgina.

Good afternoon, all.
This is the last call for suggestions on how to celebrate this year's Wikipedia Day. Please let us know your thoughts. This will help us to tune the celebration to everyone's specifications. The only suggestions so far have been those from Enock and Justice. If we hear nothing from anyone else, they will effectively be the only suggestions we work with. Thanks.

I have been thinking.. If we could set that day apart to teach people about Wikipedia edits, the importance and get volunteers who are willing to be a part of this community. Afterwards, we could have some small celebration like we did last year.

Good afternoon, all.
This is the last call for suggestions on how to celebrate this year's Wikipedia Day. Please let us know your thoughts. This will help us to tune the celebration to everyone's specifications. The only suggestions so far have been those from Enock and Justice. If we hear nothing from anyone else, they will effectively be the only suggestions we work with. Thanks.
Regards, Georgina.

Good morning.
Thanks, Enoch and Justice for your suggestion(s). Since not all group members seem to be on the mailing list, I will post your suggestions on the Whatsapp group page and see if anyone else has any other suggestions. Thereafter, I guess we'll come to a consensus as to the way forward. Enjoy the rest of your day, guys.

I did one about Malaria some time back. I hope to continue.

I think I side with Enock we can use this opportunity to organise and edit-a-thon and work on all political related posts about the elections and a possible create new accounts for notable politicians. And during the edit session we can do a little celebration if we have the means.
Also we can start a social media campaign where everyone who is part of WMGH preaches why they are grateful to Wikipedia and recommend same to others with the hashtag #Wikipedia16.
We can be a bit creative about it by using influencers online who are part of WMGH.

What can we do?
I suggest an edit-a-thon. It can be joined remotely or physically to put politics and elections in Ghana on Wikipedia to good shape.
I don't see much done by us these days on Wikipedia.

Hello all.
Sunday January 15, 2017 is Wikipedia day https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Day#Wikipedia_Day_2017 – the wiki's 16th birthday!
Last year we had a party. This year we can try something different. Any ideas? You can share with the community.
Please try and nominate people for the awards. See forwarded email below.
Regards,
Sandister Tei Video Journalist | Head of Social Media – Citi FM | Rep – Wikipedian Community (Gh)

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sandister Tei sandistertei@gmail.com Date: Thu, Jan 5, 2017 at 5:13 PM Subject: Happy new year / important updates To: Planning Wikimedia Ghana Chapter <wikimedia-gh@lists.wikimedia. org>
*2016 end of year awards for outstanding members*
Please check this page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Ghana_User_Group_/_2016_Events_%26_Projects and leave your nominations there. See the *End of the year award* section.
*– What do you want the user group to focus on in 2017?*
For example in 2016 the focus was on Wikipedia. You can also use this opportunity to capture your needs as a member by requesting the group to focus on things that'll meet your needs.
Share them here https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfvEthEYMzWerecMxMHAS_4cFavM3GFY8iVsxDaN_oA41j4tQ/viewform .
*– Confirm your 2017 membership*
It's usually a practice to have a public list of user group members. Since 2012, people have joined the group but we have never heard of them during events, elections etc.
Please put your name on the 2017 list here https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Ghana_User_Group#Members_.E2.80.93_2017 if you still are with us and wish to declare it. Just add your username is ok (privacy issues). In case anyone especially from the global community (or anyone) wants to contact you (in the capacity of a Wikimedia Ghana User Group member), they can easily find your user talk page via this list.

Thanks, Richie. What you've suggested sounds (reads) a lot like the editathon, which is already on the table; i.e., we hold a meeting where we teach interested people about Wikipedia - its importance and how to edit, and thereafter sign on interested participants. Please expatiate on your suggestion if that is not what you mean, for clarity's sake. Thanks again.

I guess our main goal is to get more people interested in editing Wikipedia so that should be the main purpose driving any action we take with regards to the anniversary.
Also Georgina did you put my suggestion across in the mailing list and what has the response been so far.
Thank You

Hi, Justice. Your suggestion and Enock's was put on the Whatsapp platform and reception was just as it is in the mailing list. We'll be moving forward with what we have received so far. Good morning, all.
Regards, Georgina.

I guess our main goal is to get more people interested in editing Wikipedia so that should be the main purpose driving any action we take with regards to the anniversary.
Also Georgina did you put my suggestion across in the mailing list and what has the response been so far.
Thank You

Thanks, Richie. What you've suggested sounds (reads) a lot like the editathon, which is already on the table; i.e., we hold a meeting where we teach interested people about Wikipedia - its importance and how to edit, and thereafter sign on interested participants. Please expatiate on your suggestion if that is not what you mean, for clarity's sake. Thanks again.

I have been thinking.. If we could set that day apart to teach people about Wikipedia edits, the importance and get volunteers who are willing to be a part of this community. Afterwards, we could have some small celebration like we did last year.

Good afternoon, all.
This is the last call for suggestions on how to celebrate this year's Wikipedia Day. Please let us know your thoughts. This will help us to tune the celebration to everyone's specifications. The only suggestions so far have been those from Enock and Justice. If we hear nothing from anyone else, they will effectively be the only suggestions we work with. Thanks.
Regards, Georgina.

Good morning.
Thanks, Enoch and Justice for your suggestion(s). Since not all group members seem to be on the mailing list, I will post your suggestions on the Whatsapp group page and see if anyone else has any other suggestions. Thereafter, I guess we'll come to a consensus as to the way forward. Enjoy the rest of your day, guys.
Regards, Georgina.
