:Hi, thanks for the star! I've been kind of working through in a chronological fashion so the article reads OK down to a certain point (currently April 1994) and then is still gunk below that. It's been quite interesting as I didn't really know a lot of that early life stuff. I did have at the back of my mind that it might eventually be potential GA material so I'll certainly keep your offer in mind.

::The article is looking great! Nice work on the vice presidential period. I think the tone and balance are good. You're doing a great job presenting multiple sides to the narrative in a way I think is very objective and informative. What's your tie to Rwanda, btw? Were you a Peace Corps volunteer here? Did you do some research into the Genocide? (it seems genocide related topics are the ones best covered on WP and I'm guessing you've been a contributor to those.) - [[User:Lemurbaby|Lemurbaby]] ([[User talk:Lemurbaby|talk]]) 10:13, 2 December 2012 (UTC) |

Rwanda and stuff
Sorry for not commenting on Rwanda before you took it to FAC, it was on my list, but I didn't have time to get around to it. I'll do my best to go over in the FAC before it closes, hopefully with a pass this time. Any comment on this IP post? Interesting if true. CMD (talk) 00:08, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
...and let me now be the first to congratulate you. You've set a new bar for country articles. CMD (talk) 17:45, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks very much, CMD! Glad it's finally made it, it's been a bit of a marathon but good fun anyway. And thanks for all your help in the original peer review and the FACs. Hope you have similar joy with Malaysia in the not too distant future. I'll try to help out if I can although I may also have a bit of a mini Wiki break now... Cheers — Amakuru (talk) 19:30, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
Congrats on the FA!
Well done bringing your Rwanda article to FA. Thank you so much for all your hard work in increasing the coverage of Rwandan topics on WP and bringing them up to higher standards of quality. I also admire the cool, constructive way you handled some of the criticisms and opposition that was raised in the FAC process. Really nice work - I look forward to reading more of your good WP work on Rwanda topics in the future. - Lemurbaby (talk) 16:06, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
Flag of Rwanda issue
Please visit the Flag of Rwanda talkpage for proof that the file I added is a presidential standard. Fry1989 eh? 20:01, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
FYI, just started this article. I think the National parks of Canada is a good model. Feel free to add if you have the time. Lemurbaby (talk) 04:09, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
The article Morfa Mawddach has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- I can find no evidence that a village of this name exists. It does not appear on OS maps (according to which the nearest village to Morfa Mawddach railway station is named Ynysgyffylog). "Morfa Mawddach" is Welsh for "Mawddach Marsh", and the train station appears to have been named for a topographic feature rather than a human settlement. This appears to fail WP:V.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Deor (talk) 16:16, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
Requested move of Côte d'Ivoire
There is currently a discussion on moving the article Côte d'Ivoire to Ivory Coast. You are being notified since you participated in a previous discussion on this topic. Please join the discussion here if you are interested. TDL (talk) 02:30, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
Main page appearance: Rwanda
This is a note to let the main editors of Rwanda know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on July 1, 2012. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/July 1, 2012. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or his delegate Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:
Rwanda is a country in central and eastern Africa located a few degrees south of the Equator, bordered by Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. All of Rwanda is at high elevation, with a geography dominated by mountains in the west, savanna in the east, and numerous lakes throughout the country. The climate is temperate. The predominantly rural population of 11.7 million people forms three main groups: the Hutu, Tutsi, and Twa. After Rwanda was first settled by hunter-gatherers in the Stone and Iron Ages, the population coalesced into clans and then into a Tutsi-led kingdom. It was colonised by Europeans in the 19th century and gained independence from Belgium on 1 July 1962 after a Hutu revolt led to massacres of Tutsis and the establishment of a Hutu-dominated republic. In 1990 the Tutsi-led Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) launched a civil war, which was followed by the 1994 Rwandan Genocide, in which Hutu extremists killed an estimated 500,000 to 1 million Tutsi and moderate Hutu but were ultimately defeated by the RPF. The economy suffered during the genocide, but has since strengthened and depends heavily on subsistence agriculture. (more...)

Thank you for sharing your intimate knowledge about Rwanda, Africa, for getting us closer in news (Amakuru) and images to its nature, culture and people, - you are an awesome Wikipedian! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:35, 1 July 2012 (UTC) |
Please please please help with the Paul Kagame article
The Paul Kagame article is such a total mess and needs someone to take a weed whacker to it to ensure it meets WP standards of neutrality for living persons biographies. I'm buried under Mada projects and work in the real world here in Rwanda, but I'm hopeful you might have some time to look at it over the next couple of months. Lemurbaby (talk) 09:11, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
- Hi Lemurbaby, I agree with you - the PK article has been a mess for many years now which isn't really a good thing for the Rwanda space in general. I've always slightly shied away from getting involved, due to the difficulty of writing about Rwandan political issues. There's such a divide between the official view within Rwanda and the apparent view of the outside world (particularly the human rights organisations) that it's difficult to strike a middle ground.
- I'm overseas at the moment (until beginning of October) and don't have access to my books about Rwanda so can't do a complete job (Shake Hands with the Devil in particular has a lot of good material about Kagame during the genocide), but will maybe see if I can tidy up some of the stuff that is there based on newspaper and online sources. My time availability is a bit unpredictable, I may find I have a lot of time available or I may not.
- Thanks — Amakuru (talk) 22:48, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for all your work on the Paul Kagame article. It's looking loads better already. Once you're done and if you feel like putting it up for GA, I'd be happy to review it. Lemurbaby (talk) 18:04, 5 October 2012 (UTC) |

Disambiguation link notification for September 8
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Paul Kagame, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Southern Province (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
