Hi Nimi and Colleagues,
I have submitted a request to WikimediaZA to become the Wikipedia in residence at Rhodes. Please let me know if there is anything I can assist with to get more community members involved in this area. I have been talking (though initial stages) to Douglas Scott from WikimediaZA to look at the possibility of hosting a Wikipedia event at Rhodes. Would that be something that you would be interested in?
Regards,

One last quick question: does anyone know if there are any Wikipedia campus ambassadors in the Eastern Cape? Can't find anything online (they all seem to be located in WC and Gauteng).

Hi Nimi,
You could take a look at the Wikipedia Education Program: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Education_program There you will find people who have run similar activities.
There's also a Facebook group: https://m.facebook.com/groups/1052002851481030?refid=27
Best of luck!!
David

Hi everyone
I teach a postgraduate course in African social policy at Rhodes University. This year, I'm considering getting my students to create a wikipedia entry on an under-covered topic as part of their assessment.
Has anyone had any experience with this? I'd love to hear stories
about
how
you've done this. Have so much to learn!
Warmly, Nimi
