Cela me ferait plaisir de rencontrer des wikimédiens ou wikimédiennes à Dakar ou ailleurs au Sénégal. Y a-t-il quelqu'un que je peux contacter sur place ?

The website is available in in English, French, Spanish and Russian but you can help to translate it into other languages <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiProject_UNESCO/Wiki_Loves_Earth_Biosphere_Reserves_page_translation> . I would really appreciate it if you could tell groups and individuals who may be interested in taking part e.g other Wikipedians, photography groups etc, as well as taking part yourselves, we can't run banners on wiki because of the number of countries involved. The 10 winning images will be shared on the UNESCO website and through their social media. UNESCO is promoting the project so I hope this will encourage people from outside the Wikimedia movement to take part. You can also promote the project on social media by sharing any of these message from UNESCO on Twitter <https://twitter.com/UNESCO/status/741288621668478976>, Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/unesco/photos/a.10150253911838390.341477.51626468389/10154259513948390/?type=3&theater> and Instagram <https://www.instagram.com/p/BGeqCavHRMd/>, French, Spanish and Russian messages are linked to from the site. You could also contact Biosphere Reserves directly to encourage them to share their photos. UNESCO have also made descriptions of their Biosphere Reserves available under CC-BY-SA so they can be used to start missing Wikipedia articles, I have created a simple to use guide to help <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiProject_UNESCO/Create_Biosphere_Reserve_Wikipedia_articles_from_UNESCO_descriptions> . Thanks very much and please feel free to contact me or ask questions here. John -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
