Wiki Loves Africa[edit]

In English (lire en français plus bas)

Thank you for your contribution to Wiki Loves Africa 2017

The project is a celebration of the visual diversity of Africa on Wikipedia and its sister projects. There are several fun ways you can help us to make the impact of Wiki Loves Africa stronger:

  • Add more categories to your images so that people will find them to use them in articles ... you can see how to do this here: Quick Guide to Categories on Commons
  • Add your image to a relevant Wikipedia article, i.e. if your image shows a tailor sewing, then add the image to an article on Sewing or Tailors - this allows readers to see different global perspectives of a universal subject. You can see how to do this here: How to insert images into Wikipedia using WikiText
  • Improve the images description to make them easier to understand and reuse.
  • If there is no article that reflects the subject of your images, then start an article about that subject. If you are a new editor, you can see how to do that here: Creating your first article
  • Add more images - you can add more images or media that reflect interesting and encyclopedic subjects in your immediate community.
  • Become involved in (or start) your local Wikimedia community groups - it is a lot of fun, and is important! Find the existing groups here: Wikimedia groups across Africa

We look forward to seeing your contributions!!

Warmest,

Hi Shahadusadik, there was a question regarding the WLM winners from Ghana. I noticed that you announced the winners of WLM Ghana this year but so far the winning photos were not included in the international gallery at Wiki Loves Monuments 2019 winners. Do you or anyone else from WLM Ghana want to do this, or do you need assistance? Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 07:23, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- Hi AFBorchert, Thank you for the alert. I submitted all our winning photos Erina. Not sure why its still not showing on the international gallery page. Can you please help us with that? Shahadusadik (talk) 17:28, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Shahadusadik, this is usually done by those organizing the national WLM competitions. I can do this for you if you want. Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 17:35, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Please do it for us. here is a link to the total photos we submitted to Erina. I didn't know we were supposed to do that. With gratitude, Shahadusadik (talk) 17:44, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Shahadusadik, in the given order of that list, i.e. with File:Eating Plates of Slaves at Pikworo Slave Camp.jpg at the first position? In your announcement, however, you named File:Larabanga Mosque, Ghana.jpg for the first position. I need the ranks for the whole set. Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 21:26, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi AFBorchert, Please find the order of the wining photos:

Hi Shahadusadik, please have a look at Wiki Loves Monuments 2019 winners#Ghana. So far, I kept exactly the titles as given in this list.

Invitation as guest speaker to Episode 2 of WikiAfrica Hour[edit]

Dear Sadik Shahadu,

I hope this meets you well.

My name is Ceslause Ogbonnaya, from Wiki In Africa. Last month we launched the WikiAfrica Hour with our first ever episode featuring outgoing Wikimedia Foundation CEO, Katherine Maher. You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyG_DCysivx59E2olI_BEcQ

We started WikiAfrica Hour, a monthly vodcast, to build the community of Wikimedians across Africa by:

1.Interacting with guest(s) and ask questions from the context of and relating to African Wikimedians; 2.Providing a platform for Wikimedians to discuss topics, issues, projects and collaborations to promote synergy and more advanced knowledge within the Wiki communities across Africa, and 3.Sharing current updates, and highlights of Africa Wikimedians activities undertaken by Africa Wikimedians with the African audience, and those globally who are interested,

For the next WikiAfrica Hour, we would like to discuss the role photography plays within a Wikimedia context. With this in mind, and given your experience, I would like to invite you as a special guest speaker on this 2nd episode of WikiAfrica Hour. This episode is slated for 28st May 2021 at 4pm UTC.

Wiki Loves Africa has just finished, Wiki Loves Earth has launched and WPWP Call for participation is ongoing. African Wikimedians are enthusiastic participants, but Wikimedia Commons related projects and the photography world are complex sectors. We would like the WikiAfrica Hour discussion to provide insight into how Wikimedia Commons and related projects work ‘behind the scenes’.

Your involvement in the WLE is the reason why I am contacting you. African Wikimedians would benefit immensely to hear about its goals and the benefits of being a participant.

The vodcast is run live using StreamYard, with the support of Andrew Lih from the Wikipedia Weekly Team. WikiAfrica Hour is a live broadcast and will be simulcast on the Wiki in Africa YouTube and Facebook channels, as well as Wikipedia Weekly YouTube and Facebook channels. The episode will remain for reviewing on both YouTube channels.

I look forward to hearing from you, and you confirming your availability. Please let us know if 28 May 2021 at 4pm UTC is convenient.

Regards,

Ceslause Ogbonnaya
