Re: [African Wikimedians] Grant proposal: Project X

Hello Flo,

I couldn’t think of a better name at the time, but I do agree that Project 
Corruption sounds a lot better.

And of course, its not related to porn :-)

Hello Masssly

A question comes up to my mind... why that name Project X ?

At first, I thought it was related to the WikiProject template developped on 
the English Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_X

Then I thought of porn... uh...

I think Corruption is an awesome idea. Why not call it Project Corruption ?

Hi everyone,
I'm announcing a proposal I posted about improving Wikipedia content related to 
corruption, and an opportunity to experiment with direct mentorship of less 
experience Wikipedia editors.
Please see the proposal here:

Feel free to ask questions. Feedback and comments are welcome. 
Thanks

[African Wikimedians] 1Lib1Ref is happening again in May!

[Felix Nartey]

*Hello 1Lib1Ref Organizers,#1Lib1Ref, the annual campaign where librarians
add references to improve Wikipedia, is coming back again this year,
running from May 15th to June 5th, 2018.  Why twice? We heard from you a
desire to run it again out of excitement, because May is not summer
vacation for the southern hemisphere, and because Spanish Wikipedia's
birthday also falls in May.  This is a great expansion of the event and it
means that there is another opportunity to make Wikipedia more factual and
verifiable by leveraging the expertise of librarians around the world.  How
does this relate to the main campaign in January?  We encourage librarians,
community members, and affiliates to make 1Lib1Ref their own.  So whether
we call this 1Lib1Ref May, 1Lib1Ref for the Southern Hemisphere, or
1Lib1Ref Strikes Back, the point is the excitement is building again, and
we'd like you to be a part of it.If I participated in January, do I have to
do it again in May?  It's entirely up to you, this is just another chance
if you want to do more, or if you couldn't get around to January
activities.  This is a pilot for us, too, so we'll see how it goes and
discuss what we learned after the May campaign.How can you get involved? -
