Contests
User:Dr. Blofeld has created Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/Contests. The idea is to run a series of contests/editathons focusing on each region of Africa. He has spoken to Wikimedia about it and $1000-1500 is possible for prize money. As someone who has previously expressed interest in African topics, would you be interested in contributing to one or assisting draw up core article/missing article lists? He says he's thinking of North Africa for an inaugural one in October. If interested please sign up in the participants section of the Contest page, thanks.♦ --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 01:15, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

- Thanks very much for your note @Ser Amantio di Nicolao: I'm happy to see that Dr. Blofeld has organized this. I'm really supposed to be finishing my PhD and not editing, but I am deeply interested in increasing Africa coverage, especially in east Africa, and will help when I can. I've added myself to the east Africa participant list. At the very bottom of my user page is a "to do" list that includes dozens of articles that should be created just to review major geographical features of NW Kenya. @Dr. Blofeld: a straightforward beginning to this project would be to find maps of whatever region you're concerned with and mark down rivers, towns, mountains, valleys, escarpments, parks, etc. as candidate articles. In my experience in Kenya at least, most of this most elementary work has yet to be done.
Hey
You are not an authoritative source on Egypt. Assume good faith, and go for constructive criticism. Not negative criticism like you always do. I also want to complain to admins about your tendencies to disrupt genuine, bold, and brave attempts to improve Egyptian politics in the name of "consensus," Darouet.
Keep calm and carry on. Zakawer (talk) 18:02, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
- Hi @Zakawer: I have reported your most recent edits here, at the 3RR board. You can make comments there to defend yourself. I have nothing against you personally, but your edits, immediately after being blocked, continued the same behavior that led to your being blocked in the first place.
- I would encourage you to think hard about what the admin told you last time you were blocked, and consider changing your approach to this topic. Evidence of that changed approach would involve reverting your edits. If you persist in this mindset and these actions, you may end up being blocked from editing wikipedia indefinitely. -Darouet (talk) 18:15, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
Autopatrolled granted
Hi Darouet, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the patroller right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Widr (talk) 20:57, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge
Hello. I've revamped the contest page into this, based on the new British model. Long term goal, but I've added entries since the beginning of July to give it some initial life. Please add anything you've done then this then too! I hope it proves productive long term. The contests are still planned, but will be more tools towards increasing bulk output in overall goal. It's a permanent goal now, and open! I would be grateful if you could keep a record of all your articles you do there, as I really think seeing the combined efforts will encourage others to create more content too! Please spread the word to the others, cheers!♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:24, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
Biography feedback requested
Your input is requested about an RFC regarding Donald Trump. Here is a link directly to that RFC. The lead of that biography currently says, "Many of his statements in interviews, on Twitter, and at campaign rallies have been controversial." The RFC proposes to insert the words "or false" at the end of that sentence. Thank you in advance for participating. If you have the time, there is a second RFC at that talk page which proposes to instead add the words "or hyperbolic".Anythingyouwant (talk) 00:30, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:Georges Cziffra.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Georges Cziffra.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:49, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

Invite to the African Destubathon
Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most geography, wildlife and women articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing, whether it's a river in Malawi, a Nigerian footballer, or a South African civil rights activist, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. For those of you who signed up to the North African contest, that will hopefully be held in the new year. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:11, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
