Hello

Une petite note rapide pour te signaler que la WMF avait rejeté notre première proposition de demande de financement pour le concours photographique Wiki Loves Africa. Donc nous avons remanié le tout et fait une nouvelle demande allégée. La Côte d'Ivoire fait bien sûr partie des 7/8 pays identifiés. A plus. Anthere (talk) 15:30, 26 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Updates to Reports

edit

Thank you for your recent update to the Reports page. While I have undone your change to your user group expiry date and notation of a tick rather than a cross for being up-to-date, that should only be temporary until I am able to give the required time for the review process and AffCom renewal of your group based on that review. Upon previewing your report I see no problems with it, however we do need to go through the official process before making updates to your user group status and eligibility. Please look forward to another message early next week once the process may be completed. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you JAnstee (WMF) (talk) 18:13, 31 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hello JAnstee (WMF), thank you for letting me know and I apologize for the inconvenience. Happy new year! --African Hope (talk) 17:10, 1 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
No inconvenience at all. Your user group renewal request have cleared AffCom review and I have made the updates to the Reports and Eligibility pages. Thank you JAnstee (WMF) (talk) 19:22, 4 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
I am glad to hear that. Our local team will move on now to filling the Registration form. Thank you for your feedback JAnstee (WMF) --African Hope (talk) 11:13, 5 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hello! In the past few months, the Wikipedia Library User Group has been undergoing some major planning and developments. We just finished our very first open call with the user group members, which was a great success (see the meeting minutes). If you joined us during the meeting, we’d like to thank you for your interest. If not, not to worry, we have lots of things planned for the user group in which you can participate.

This message is to inform you that based on the input received from the user group members and the founding members, it was agreed that the Wikipedia Library User Group’s name be reconsidered by a voting process. As a valued member of the user group, we’d like to invite you to vote on the list of potential names. You can vote by following this link. The poll will run for a timeframe of two weeks.

[Wikipedia & Education User Group] Updates: November 2018

edit

Greetings,

Integrating Wikimedia with education is a powerful strategy for the outreach of Wikimedia projects. Realising this concept, a group of leaders promoted this and formed the Wikipedia Education Collaborative. After some time, this evolved to become a user group, officially recognised by the Affiliations Committee in June 2018. The user group had its first board elections earlier in September. In the process to formalise activities and give a shape the user group for long-term sustainability, we are now revamping our processes. Thanks for supporting us during incubation stages, we are now inviting you to formally join the user group by following the instructions on the members' page. Being a member will allow you to be a part of this wonderful collaboration and also do interesting stuff.

Kind regards

AfroCine: Join the Months of African Cinema this October!

edit

Greetings!

After a successful first iteration of the Months of African Cinema last year, we are happy to announce that it will be happening again this year, starting from October 1! In the 2018 edition of the contest, about 600 Wikipedia articles were created in at least 8 languages. There were also contributions to Wikidata and Wikimedia commons, which brought the total number of wikimedia pages created during the contest to over 1,000. About 9 in-person events were also organised for the edit-a-thon in different parts of the world.

The contest is organized by a Wikimedia project called The AfroCine Project, which is dedicated to improving the coverage of the history, works, people, places, and events, that are associated with the cinema, theatre and arts of Africa, African countries, the Caribbean, and the diaspora.

If you would love to join this exciting event, please list your username as a participant on the English Wikipedia contest page. If you would love to lead this contest for your country or community, please list your name in the coordinators' page here. The rapid grants team would be accepting proposals throughout October and November, in case you'd need funds to run local edit-a-thons or some other activities related to this event. Upon listing your name on the coordinators' page, you'd be contacted to talk about the resources you'd need to run the event in your community. You can also contact me directly for any clarifications.

Finally, We also need volunteers to handle some aspects of the AfroCine project. These aspects include:

  1. Community Liaison: This role essentially involves closely engaging with local communities to support their activities within the scope of Afrocine.
  2. Communications: This involves the communications aspects of the project. Sharing relevant information on mailing lists and social media would be the responsibility of this person.
  3. MAC Jury: This role involves joining the jury of Months of African Cinema contest. We need as many people as we can get 🙂.
  4. Tools: Going forward, we would need relevant tools to better track the metrics and also analyse the general impact of these events. We are calling for Wikimedia volunteers who can navigate wikimedia tools that can be useful for the project.

If you would love to help with any of these roles, or some other roles that have not been mentioned, please contact me directly or on: samoye_ hotmail.com

If you have further questions, complaints, suggestions, etc., please reach out to me personally or right here or the project talkpages.

Thank you!--Jamie Tubers (talk) 17:10, 30 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
