Contests
User:Dr. Blofeld has created 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 Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 01:13, 21 July 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)

Ebola article - Thanks!
Thank you so much for your Ebola copy edits. I have put a lot of work into that article but I do not have the ability to make my edits sound "professional" - which you seem to have. Again, thank you so much! Gandydancer (talk) 21:03, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
 * It's an honour; as I work, I marvel at the kind of work you guys put into the article in the first place! As for being professional, I'm actually trying to avoid sounding too technical, so that a lay audience can enjoy the read. Kudos!


 * I have a medical background so that part was not hard for me--it is the wording in general that that I find difficult. It's quite an art and a joy to see when done well.  I have used two other copy editors and I am just amazed at the way a good copy editor can improve an article.  Again, thanks. Gandydancer (talk) 00:53, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
 * It's been a pleasure, though this article was back-breaking ;) BroVic (talk) 07:17, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

Hey, BroVic -- Where have you been? I haven't seen you copy-editing lately. I hope you are doing all right.

Greetings & a great weekend to you all. I believe it would be great if the (Requests for uncreated articles) section in our wiki project can be attended to & at least one article be created this weekend as some requests have been pending since 2016. I believe this would be pivotal to the encyclopedia as a whole & a means to get editors who have gone inactive to revive their Wikipedia activities. Sent by.
