Hi, Justice. Your suggestion and Enock's was put on the Whatsapp platform and reception was just as it is in the mailing list. We'll be moving forward with what we have received so far. Good morning, all. Regards, Georgina. On Thu, Jan 12, 2017 at 7:54 PM, Justice Okai-Allotey

I guess our main goal is to get more people interested in editing Wikipedia so that should be the main purpose driving any action we take with regards to the anniversary. Also Georgina did you put my suggestion across in the mailing list and what has the response been so far. Thank You On 12

I think I side with Enock we can use this opportunity to organise and edit-a-thon and work on all political related posts about the elections and a possible create new accounts for notable politicians. And during the edit session we can do a little celebration if we have the means. Also we can
