Wikipedia articles on Parliamentary Constituencies in Ghana are in a truly deplorable state. I’ve always had it in my to-do list to tackle, but haven’t had the luxury of time and resources to get to them yet. And so, thanks for choosing to work on them now.
I wouldn’t be around unfortunately, but if you could create a red-list of missing constituencies and share with us I’m sure myself and others who can’t come would be able to pitch in from remote.
Other issues about the existing constituencies you might consider prioritizing: • Weeding out duplicates, e.g. some district that were upgraded have new articles, yet the old ones still exist • Redirects pointing to wrong districts because the said districts have been expanded into others/merged/curved out of others
I would really urge folks to come around and help.
Regards
