Alhassan Mohammed Awal

Welcome to the Dagaare Wikipedia

Hello, Alhassan, and also hello to some of the other most active contributors: @Joachim Yirkang, @ANTHONY DERY, @Linus Konkor, @Zakaria Tunsung, @Umar Asiya, @Bambaare Jacobson, @Caparzodesky, @Kuukye and others.

It is my pleasure to give you the official welcome to the Dagaare Wikipedia! Congratulations on this big achievement – it is all of your hard work that has led to this moment. Thank you very much for all of your efforts so far, and good luck with the journey ahead (this is only the beginning, after all).

All the content from the Incubator has been imported here, and you can start editing this wiki from now on.

Now, since this is a brand new wiki, there are some things you should be aware of:

• Statistics in Special:Statistics might not be correct yet. This should be solved within a day, I think.
• Wikidata sitelinks now work, and all articles that used to have the INTERWIKI template have now been connected to Wikidata.
• The default setting for all Wikimedia projects is that users are not allowed to move pages until their account is at least 4 days old. Since this wiki is less than 4 days old, nobody is currently able to move pages. So if you need to move any pages, I suggest just waiting for a couple of days until those rights come automatically.
• If you need help with deleting pages or editing the MediaWiki namespace, I or the other new wiki importers can help with that in the next few days/weeks, but if you need help with that in the future, asking the Stewards on Meta might be a good idea.
• It would also be a good idea to start a village pump page, where things can discussed on-wiki. That would also be a good place to hold administrator elections.

If you have any questions or need any help, please don't hesitate to ask me. If I'm not able to help myself, I'm usually good at finding someone who can.

PS! I found one duplicate article – Kennedy Osei Nyarko and Kennedy Nyarko Osei. Those should be merged, by copying whatever information is missing from one article to the other, and then setting the article that the information was moved from as a redirect to the other (with #REDIRECT [[Kennedy Nyarko Osei]]).

Again, congratulations on this big achievement, and best of luck to all of you! Jon Harald Søby (yeli) 20:47, 7 Nyɔgevennebare 2023 (UTC)

It is our pleasure. Linus Konkor (yeli) 15:09, 13 Nyɔgevennebare 2023 (UTC)

Hello

First of all congratulations to all those who worked hard to launch this project. I moved the page that you created to the new name "Wikipedia:Ghana's Constituency Profile Contest 2023". The project pages should be in the project namespace. This is a common practice/rule for all Wikimedia projects. If you have any questions regarding this, please feel free to ask. Thank you.

Invitation to Organize Feminism and Folklore 2024 Writing Competition

Please help translate to your language

Dear Alhassan Mohammed Awal,

Hope you are doing well, Wishing you a Happy New Year!.

We extend a heartfelt invitation to you to organize the Feminism and Folklore 2024 writing competition, which is scheduled to take place from February 1, 2024, to March 31, 2024. This year's edition of Feminism and Folklore will concentrate on feminism, women's issues, and gender-focused topics, aligning with a Wiki Loves Folklore gender gap focus and featuring a folk culture theme on Wikipedia.

This year we have created two new Tools for the Feminism and Folklore project. The tool is called Campwiz. This tool is created by the international Tech team of Wiki Loves Folkore especially crafted for Feminism and Folklore project. The tool works as same as fountain or dashboard but has extra abilities required for jury and submission of articles.

To create a new campaign on Campwiz, organizers to follow these steps:

1. Go to the tool link: https://tools.wikilovesfolklore.org/
2. Select your wiki on which you want to organize the campaign (enter the name or short code, such as "dga" for Dagaare Wikipiideɛ).
3. Give your campaign a name example "Feminism and Folklore 2024 on Dagaare Wikipiideɛ)".
4. Select the start and end dates (note: keep your start date as Feb 1 and end date as March 31).
5. Provide a description for your campaign (you can briefly describe the campaign in this section).
6. Make sure to keep the checkboxes ticked for "Allow users to submit articles that were not created but expanded." if you want to use the campaign for expanded articles also.
7. Keep minimum added bytes as 4000 and minimum added words as 400 and click next.
8. In the jury section, keep the checkboxes ticked for "Allow jury members to participate in the campaign" and "Prevent jury members from seeing each other's votes." As per your preference.
9. Under the jury search box, type the username of your jury and click on the "+" button to add; you can add multiple jury members.
10. Click next to review and then click on save.

With this we have also created a Missing article tool. This tool identifies articles in the English Wikipedia that are absent from your native language Wikipedia. You can customize your selection criteria, and our tool will provide you with a table displaying the missing articles along with suggested titles. You also have the option to download the list in both CSV and wikitable formats.

Both tools, the Missing Article Tool and the Campwiz Tool, are now available for public use during the Feminism and Folklore campaign. You can find more information about these tools here: https://tools.wikilovesfolklore.org/

There are also some changes in the rules and criteria's. Please go through the rules below.

1. Minimum Length: The expanded or new article should have a minimum of 4000 bytes or 400 words, ensuring sufficient depth and coverage of the chosen topic. The local organizers are free to choose the minimum length criteria as per needs of their local Wikipedia and must be clearly mention on local project page.
2. Language Quality: Articles should not be poorly machine-translated, ensuring that language quality and readability are maintained at a high standard.
3. Timeline of Creation or Expansion: The article should be created or expanded between 1 February and 31 March, aligning with the specified contest timeline.
4. Theme Relevance: Articles should directly address the theme of feminism and folklore, exploring connections between gender, cultural traditions, and intangible heritage.
5. No Orphaned Articles: Articles must not be orphaned, meaning they should be linked from at least one other article to ensure visibility within the Wikipedia ecosystem.
6. No Copyright violations: There should be no copyright violations, and articles should adhere to local Wikipedia policies on notability, ensuring that the content meets the standards for notability.
7. Adequate references and Citations: Each article should include proper references and citations following local Wikipedia policies, ensuring the reliability and credibility of the information presented.

Learn more about the contest details and prizes on our project page here. Should you require any assistance, please feel free to contact us on our meta talk page or via email.

We eagerly anticipate your enthusiastic coordination and participation in Feminism and Folklore 2024.

Thank you and Best wishes,

Feminism and Folklore 2024 International Team

Dear Team, My name is Joris Darlington Quarshie (user: Joris Darlington Quarshie), and I am the Event Coordinator for the Wiki Loves Folklore 2025 (WLF) International campaign.

Wiki Loves Folklore 2025 is a photographic competition aimed at highlighting folk culture worldwide. The annual international photography competition is held on Wikimedia Commons between the 1st of February and the 31st of March. This campaign invites photographers and enthusiasts of folk culture globally to showcase their local traditions, festivals, cultural practices, and other folk events by uploading photographs to Wikimedia Commons.

As we celebrate the seventh anniversary of Wiki Loves Folklore, the international team is thrilled to invite Wikimedia affiliates, user groups, and organizations worldwide to host a local edition in their respective countries. This is an opportunity to bring more visibility to the folk culture of your region and contribute valuable content to the internet.

We welcome your team to organize both the photo and writing campaigns or either one of them in your local Wiki edition. If you are unable to organize both campaigns, feel free to share this opportunity with other groups or organizations in your region that may be interested.
