Hello everyone,
Based on what has happened since I last sent this email, here's some very
good info on creating Wikipedia pages.
I am also sharing here just in case someone has more info and can react to
some of what is below and educate us all.
I am also going to suggest Justice or whoever is in a webmaster role blogs
about this after we have great info.
- Basically, Wikipedia editors don't need permission to run a page for
any notable Ghanaian or anyone else. Neither, is the goodwill needed before
the page is created.
- If it is found out that the one editing is associated with the person
whose page is being edited, it's conflict of interest and can be blocked
from Wikipedia
- Paid editing whereby people pay for others to edit Wikipedia pages for
them is not encouraged and more info is here.

wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest
<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest>
- It is against the rules of Wikipedia for a staff person to be editing
a Wikipedia page of organization or individual they're involved in. Those
found involved can be blocked.
- Once the article is on Wikipedia every editor can edit the page so far
as they have reliable sources backing it. However, editors editing this
must not have a conflict of interest.

Hello everyone,
I have a request for a Wikipedia page.
I just realised Adina Thembi Ndamse who won female vocalist of the year
and who sang 'Too Late' doesn't have a Wikipedia page.
Would anyone want to work on it?
I would put you in touch with her so that she provides all needed info.
I don't have a Wikipedia page either and would love to have mine also
worked on. :-)
I would provide info as well if anyone wants to work on it.
Thanks in advance,
Ato
