Igboanude/Pictures and Voice Notes in Igbo Wiktionary
I noticed that many words created in Igbo Wiktionary do not have pictures and voice notes. We will add them in Igbo Wiktionary from Wiki Commons and where these pictures and voice notes are not already in Wiki commons then we will create it in Wiki Commons and link it to Igbo Wiktionary. As we are adding the pictures and voice notes, we will also edit pages in Igbo Wiktionary.
