I know Kuukuwa personally.
I can share her email with whoever wants to engage her on this.

 Hello,

 Manful (https://twitter.com/Kuukuwa_) wins grant to digitise
 endangered architectural documents in Accra [1]

 I'm not sure what the eventual license of the digitized documents will
 be in. Just putting this news through here, perhaps the user group could
 connect with Manful to learn more of the license, and see if can siphon
 some (if not all) of the digitization content onto Wikimedia Commons.

Thanks for sending this Sandister.

I encourage us all to fill this form to help WMUG clean up its database and
be a stronger organization.

Maybe we could have a question that asks for a couple of Wikipedia articles
edited?

Re: [Wikimedia-GH] Wikipedia Page

[Ato Ulzen-Appiah]

Hello everyone,

Based on what has happened since I last sent this email, here's some very
good info on creating Wikipedia pages.

I am also sharing here just in case someone has more info and can react to
some of what is below and educate us all.
I am also going to suggest Justice or whoever is in a webmaster role blogs
about this after we have great info.


   - Basically, Wikipedia editors don't need permission to run a page for
   any notable Ghanaian or anyone else. Neither, is the goodwill needed before
   the page is created.


   - If it is found out that the one editing is associated with the person
   whose page is being edited, it's conflict of interest and can be blocked
   from Wikipedia


   - Paid editing whereby people pay for others to edit Wikipedia pages for
   them is not encouraged and more info is here. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/
   wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest
   <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest>


   - It is against the rules of Wikipedia for a staff person to be editing
   a Wikipedia page of organization or individual they're involved in. Those
   found involved can be blocked.


   - Once the article is on Wikipedia every editor can edit the page so far
   as they have reliable sources backing it. However, editors editing this
   must not have a conflict of interest. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/
   wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest
   <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest>


Best regards,
Ato

[Wikimedia-GH] Wikipedia Page

[Ato Ulzen-Appiah]

Hello everyone,

I have a request for a Wikipedia page.
I just realised Adina Thembi Ndamse who won female vocalist of the year and
who sang 'Too Late' doesn't have a Wikipedia page.

Would anyone want to work on it?
I would put you in touch with her so that she provides all needed info.

I don't have a Wikipedia page either and would love to have mine also
worked on. :-)
I would provide info as well if anyone wants to work on it.

Thanks in advance,
Ato

This is really awesome!

It would be good to get feedback from lecturers and students and post on
social media.

Interesting.

What venue have they been looking at?

A classroom should surely suffice and should be easy to get?

Hehe, well, on average, people in other countries tend to be more proactive
in Ghana.
Hence, I really like those those who are *proactive* in Ghana.

I should add that *reporting and communication* is another thing we
generally have to do better in Ghana. If anyone is looking for an example,
look at Sandister. Or just this awesome Google Doc
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uLVzinYqzVKtLgHU9_n-kuQjl7y4wd1U__mJ9TYhaYk/edit>

Re: [Wikimedia-GH] Wikipedia Education Program and other events held by members

[Ato Ulzen-Appiah]

I totally agree with what Sandister said.

It doesn't help the community when Wikipedia related projects are run in
Ghana and at least this community is not involved. Especially when those
running the projects are aware of this community.

In that stead, I would also encourage Justice and co to google around a bit
for Wikipedia related events happening in Ghana to ensure this community is
also aware of everything.

If we want to go far, we must go together.

Regards,
Ato

Oh, sorry Rexford. Contacts are not normally shared at breakout sessions.
We'd make a note to fix that. Cced Rachel.

We can contact those who were at Barcamp Koforidua to ask who was in the
session. If you send me a picture of the session, I could recognize people
and give you contacts :-)

>From what transpired, it was a good session and people learnt a lot.

We can target edits to the Koforidua, Koforidua Technical University and
ANUC pages.

Thanks for the pictures.

Barcamp Accra dey. But there be Barcamp Ho, Kumasi and Sunyani before that.

Re: [Wikimedia-GH] Request for campus club

This is welcome news.

How have Wikimedia clubs been run around the world?
Is there central support from Wikimedia Foundation for such clubs?

Would be good to share best practices and info with these interested
students so they are well informed

Re: [Wikimedia-GH] Wiki GH Come together

My thoughts -

I will be interested to attend.

Impact Hub Accra & iSpace host small group meetups all the time. Or this
can also happen at a place like republic, eddy's Pizza, afrikiko, etc.

Re: [Wikimedia-GH] Wiki GH Come together

[Ato Ulzen-Appiah]

Just met Sandister at the,new iSpace.
Will be a great place to meet up. It's in Labone, near Bosphorus.

I think the leadership should decide on what the meetup is about,
discussing it too much here will delay planning. I think we all agree on
mixed activity.

The meetup should bring us closer as friends, colleagues & align us on what
the goals of this group are & what we want :-)

Maybe it might be great for the sender to customize whatever message it is
for this list and talk through the value for Wikimedia  or this user group
next time.

Asaf, will that work?

 The Wiki Loves Africa ended midnight yesterday across Africa.

 Unofficially, I get to say, Ghana uploaded the highest number of images.
 Precisely, 831 Images. I uploaded just about 100 images out of that value.
 I'm sure others uploaded even more than that.

 I think we all did a good job, and all deserve a round of applause. And
 not being biased, I think we took some nice images too.

 Well, may the best image catch the eyes of the jury.

 Thanks to all who partook in this year's Wiki Loves Africa.

 this year too.

 If not WLM, at least it can be Wiki Loves Food (@ato Waakye will be in
