Dear Jeffrey, I am thrilled to hear about the recognition of the Wikimedia Community User Group Botswana as a Wikimedia User Group. This is a significant milestone for the Wikimedia community in Botswana and will undoubtedly contribute to the promotion of Wikimedia projects and the creation of free knowledge in the country. Congratulations to the members of the new user group for their dedication and hard work. I look forward to seeing the positive impact they will have on the Wikimedia community. Best regards, Aliyu Shaba.

Guys, I’m glad for the wikimedians of Botswana and we’re now cheering for them in a pub in Samarkand, but I’ve checked their page and found two resolutions on recognition — one dated by 2017 and another is this one. Can anyone explain what have happened? Четверг, 4 апреля 2024, 1:55 +05:00 от Affiliations Committee < affcom(a)wikimedia.org&gt;gt;: Hi everyone! I'm very happy to announce that the Affiliations Committee has recognized [1] Wikimedia Community User Group Botswana [2] as a Wikimedia User Group. The group aims to to promote the use of Wikimedia and its sister projects by the residents of Botswana, and to also help in creating awareness on how the everyday Botswana can contribute to the pool of free knowledge, which is Wikimedia; most especially in the translation efforts into the major local languages (Setswana).

Hello Nikolai, User Group was recognized as an affiliate for the first time in 2017 but was derecognized in 2020 due to inactivity. In 2023, affiliate representatives applied again for recognition, which was done this year. Therefore, there are two entries on the page about the recognition resolution. Kindly, Mehman.
