Learning how to use Wikipedia - scary! Girlinthegreydress (talk) 16:01, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

Would like some advice on wikivoyage as keen to start adding a page linked to travel - including images from different destinations to share with the community Girlinthegreydress (talk) 16:44, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

Ujima Radio
Hi, looking to improve the Ujima Radio page to be more up to date and factual, are you able to advise or suggest how to do this? We know about conflict of interest and don't want to fall into this trap, but we don't know enough about wiki editing to do this, so we're asking for your help. We want to have relevant information for listeners or anyone researching the site, and have links to material but are not sure how to proceed. Longer term we would like to other community pages such as wikimedia commons and donate pictures and videos which may be useful for other users. I'm a complete newbie, and am not paid by Ujima. I'm simply a volunteer wanting to support my local community station Girlinthegreydress (talk) 20:57, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Ok Here goes...
