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 This was sent from #MightyAfrican's Android Device On Thu, May 11, 2017 at 4:07 PM, Ato Ulzen-Appiah <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks Justice. > I'd whatsapp you. > > Elizabeth, we go add you. > > > > On Thu, May 11, 2017 at 2:20 PM, Justice Okai-Allotey < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> I would also like to help out Ato so you can send me the briefs for both >> and links to sources let's see if we can do something meaningful. >> >> Thanks >> >> Justice. >> >> On May 11, 2017 2:18 PM, "elizabeth kosine" <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> >>> Ok I would like to work on it but busy for while . if it ok with you >>> >>> On Thu, May 11, 2017 at 12:34 PM, Ato Ulzen-Appiah <[email protected]> >>> wrote: >>> >>>> 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 >>>> >>>> -- >>>> >>>> ____________________________ >>>> *Less talk, more action.
