Okay Elias. The goal for such a tool is this: a group of contributors to Wikipedia from Ghana, wishes to know all articles that have been submitted by Ghanaians, about Ghana or anything Ghana-related over a period of time (for instance, within 5 years ago)
Thus, we hope we can scan through such list to know which article(s) to improve and/or add images to. Contents relating to Ghana are scattered and hard to locate by hand, I think. Using the country sorting way, we hope we can pull all articles submitted from Ghana (perhaps using its IP), created by a Ghanaian (person with Ghana badge on profile), and/or articles categorized under Ghana. In fact, I was thinking a tool of that sort existed. However, if not, I think the suggestions aforementioned in this thread are good enough to help us retrieve what we're looking for. Thanks.
