Hi Gerard,
when you come to Mozambique, pls let me know, there are reliable sources
down to the third level administrative divisions. For example, the two
sources present in
are available for every district (though I so far only added about half of
them to the English Wikipedia articles).
Cheers
Yaroslav

Hoi,
I do blog and tweet using #AfricaGap.. At this time I am adding countries
and their "administrative and territorial entities" in Wikidata. In many a
Wikipedia, they want to have "human settlements" linked to the lowest level
and these to every time a higher level.
What I do is add more and more countries. The information is incomplete. It
takes a lot of people and a lot of time to get this done. To gain
participation, I add Listeria list to a set of Wikipedias. I work on
cleaning up the data but there is much to be done. One of the benefits of
the Listeria lists for me is that I notice any and all activity. After
Wikimania there was a spike, thanks to some bot work.
What I have noticed is that information on Wikipedias did not keep up with
changes that rearanged these "territories". Consequently start and end
dates are missing on many items. For me, the current situation is most
relevant and historic "territories" are not really considered by me.
You find what I am working on here [1]. You will find much of the same data
on several (African language) Wikipedias.
Thanks,
GerardM

Great idea Romaine!
I am now working on Esperanto Wikivoyage (in Incubator), mostly to make
it
fully working. Now I am finishing Europe and
immediately after that I
will
focus on Africa (not only for the Africagap and
to help our colleagues
but
also to support tourism and facilitate meetings
in Africa).
See you online!

The official part of Wikimania is over, this does
not prevent ourselves
from celebrating Africa's first Wikimania online, in more particular:
writing Wikipedia articles.
Africa is under represented in Wikipedia, by writing about it we both
celebrate our great conference as well as we work on solving the
Africagap
With some Dutchies we started the idea of having a list of like 10-20
articles of subjects from Cape Town and surrounding area. For example:
Well-known park in Cape Town:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Company%27s_Garden
The often referred to Dassie:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q323847
Input needed!
