 Also we can start a social media campaign where everyone who is

 same
 to others with the hashtag #Wikipedia16.

 We can be a bit creative about it by using influencers online who
 are part of WMGH.

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.

 This is the last call for suggestions on how to celebrate this year's
 Wikipedia Day. Please let us know your thoughts. This will help us to tune
 the celebration to everyone's specifications. The only suggestions so far
 have been those from Enock and Justice.
 If we hear nothing from anyone else, they will effectively be the only
 suggestions we work with.
 Thanks.

 Georgina.

 I suggest an edit-a-thon. It can be joined remotely or physically
 to put politics and elections in Ghana on Wikipedia to good shape.

 I don't see much done by us these days on Wikipedia.

Re: [Wikimedia-GH] Wikipedia Day 2017 / Happy Birthday Wikipedia

[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

 Hello all.

 Sunday January 15, 2017 is Wikipedia day
 
 – the wiki's 16th birthday!

 Last year we had a party. This year we can try something different.
 Any ideas? You can share with the community.


 Please try and nominate people for the awards. See forwarded email
 below.

Re: [Wikimedia-GH] Wikipedia Day 2017 / Happy Birthday Wikipedia

[Georgina Ofori-Dwumfuo]

Thanks, Richie.
What you've suggested sounds (reads) a lot like the editathon, which is
already on the table; i.e., we hold a meeting where we teach interested
people about Wikipedia - its importance and how to edit, and thereafter
sign on interested participants.
Please expatiate on your suggestion if that is not what you mean, for
clarity's sake.
Thanks again.

Re: [Wikimedia-GH] Wikipedia Day 2017 / Happy Birthday Wikipedia

[Richie Appiah]

I have been thinking.. If we could set that day apart to teach people about
Wikipedia edits,  the importance and get volunteers who are willing to be a
part of this community.  Afterwards,  we could have some small celebration
like we did last year.

Thats a great idea Georgina but unfortunately for me I am not on whatsapp
at the moment so can you pass it on there so we can get the response on my
behalf so we know the way forward.

Thank You.

 I don't see much done by us these days on Wikipedia.

Re: [Wikimedia-GH] Wikipedia Day 2017 / Happy Birthday Wikipedia

[Georgina Ofori-Dwumfuo]

Good morning.

Thanks, Enoch and Justice for your suggestion(s). Since not all group
members seem to be on the mailing list, I will post your suggestions on the
Whatsapp group page and see if anyone else has any other suggestions.
Thereafter, I guess we'll come to a consensus as to the way forward.
Enjoy the rest of your day, guys.

Regards,
Georgina.

 Hello all.

 Sunday January 15, 2017 is Wikipedia day
 
 – the wiki's 16th birthday!

 Last year we had a party. This year we can try something different. Any
 ideas? You can share with the community.


 Please try and nominate people for the awards. See forwarded email
 below.

 *2016 end of year awards for outstanding members*

 Please check this page
 
 and leave your nominations there. See the *End of the year award*
 section.

 *– What do you want the user group to focus on in 2017?*

 For example in 2016 the focus was on Wikipedia. You can also use this
 opportunity to capture your needs as a member by requesting the group to
 focus on things that'll meet your needs.

 Share them here
 
 .

 *– Confirm your 2017 membership*

 It's usually a practice to have a public list of user group members.
 Since 2012, people have joined the group but we have never heard of them
 during events, elections etc.

 Please put your name on the 2017 list here
 
 if you still are with us and wish to declare it. Just add your username is
 ok (privacy issues). In case anyone especially from the global community
 (or anyone) wants to contact you (in the capacity of a Wikimedia Ghana User
 Group member), they can easily find your user talk page via this list.

Re: [Wikimedia-GH] Wikipedia Day 2017 / Happy Birthday Wikipedia

[Nkansah Rexford]

For me, in celebration, I visit the ak.wikipedia.org project, and do some
translations i.e medical articles etc.

I did one about Malaria some time back. I hope to continue.

Re: [Wikimedia-GH] Wikipedia Day 2017 / Happy Birthday Wikipedia

[Justice Okai-Allotey]

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 start a social media campaign where everyone who is part of
WMGH preaches why they are grateful to Wikipedia and recommend same to
others with the hashtag #Wikipedia16.

We can be a bit creative about it by using influencers online who are part
of WMGH.

Regards,

- Justice

Re: [Wikimedia-GH] Wikipedia Day 2017 / Happy Birthday Wikipedia

[Enock Seth Nyamador]

What can we do?

I suggest an edit-a-thon. It can be joined remotely or physically to put
politics and elections in Ghana on Wikipedia to good shape.

I don't see much done by us these days on Wikipedia.

Best,

- Enock
