Our Problem is the a) the small number of presently 5 constantly active wikipedians (NOT daily) b) amount of bad quality articles and contributions stemming from faulty language either by East Africans (used to slang) or by foreigners who do a lot of edits without knowing the language. c) edits by local users who do not know, understand or care about formats and rules for relevant content. Our Problem is rarely malevolent entries. d) And we have a considerable backlog from that google competition I mentioned with lots of bad google-translation stuff. We see a chance to go for the anonymous c)people because on the way we had again and again people who came on board for months and years after we had taken the chance to write them notices to their IP. Which we do not do any more because of volume. Please try to imagine that in Esat African environment it is much more difficult becasue so few people have access to own internet so they go by cafes or Uni but always changing IPs. And more change because life is harder and less people with time AND access > (In reply to comment #4) > > If this is right, I'd much rather work with the local community to figure > > out > > how we can make cleanup of junk pages less painful than turn off page > > creation > > for anons. > > Ariel T. Glenn offers you to work with you on an alternative solution. > Could you see if you can collaborate together on this matter? Sorry I did not answer this. Gladly - he can spend his next weeks with us clearing up and checking and correcting faulty language and formats. > If you wish to bypass these two technical/community objection arguments, it > seems to me you then need a broader community approval. No I do not want to bypass anything! I gladly explain whatever question you have and take your advice. Unless rules have changed i would just like to get the same chance as the people at Farsi, Tamil and Indonesian who may have had similar experiences (I just guess). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
