Links etc
Hallo, I've just come across a couple of articles you've edited. Could I point out a few tips for editing?
 * The first section of an article shouldn't have a heading like "description", it just comes as the first,or "lead" section, and appears above the table of contents.
 * To get the article name in bold in the first line, use bold formatting like this rather than making it into a link back to the article
 * There's no point in making a link from the abbreviation for the article subject - it usually goes to a disambiguation page, no use at all to the reader.
 * When you're adding things to disambiguation pages, remember to read the editing notes for dab pages - there should not be any extra blue links in the entry, just the one for the article being disambiguated
 * In the text of an article, don't link to any article more than once from any one section of an article (eg if "Uganda" or "commercial bank" comes up several times in a section, link the first one only)
 * Don't link words like "Act" which aren't going to help the reader understand more about your subject.
 * There's no point in having a disambiguation page no-one is going to find, like SLAU (disambiguation). Instead, I've put a "hatnote" on the article at Slau and one at the university article, so anyone who types Slau or SLAU will get offered both articles. The dab page isn't really needed.

I hope that's useful for your future editing! Welcome to Wikipedia - I see you've been here a while but no-one's done the full welcome so I'll do it now. PamD (talk) 22:47, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

PamD,

Thank you for the corrections and suggestions.Fsmatovu (talk) 23:09, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Another little thing: if you're adding a contribution to a talk page, give it a new section heading - either by typing it ==Like this== or by clicking on the "new section" or "+" tab at the top of the page. It just makes it easier for people to find their way around talk pages, as these headings get picked up in the table of contents of the talk page. Best wishes, PamD (talk) 23:13, 5 April 2009 (UTC)


 * And what I should have made clearer in that last remark: if you're continuing a discussion, precede your comment by ":" to indent it one level, "::" for two levels, etc - or "*" for a bullet point, "**" for an indented bullet, etc - then the conversation stays together and is easier to read. Best wishes, PamD (talk) 06:50, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Welcome
Hi! Great to see we have somebody from Uganda on here and keen on improving our coverage of Uganda on here. Thanks for your contributions!Glad to have you on board! Ideally we need several hundred people like you from every country in Africa working towards improving the rather poor coverage of this part of the world on here! I've started a few stubs on politicians from your Cabinet of Uganda, if you could expand them this would be great. Regards. Dr. Blofeld       White cat 15:37, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

I see! Well in the UK we do have a Dr. Hilary Jones so...! Glad to have you on board with the Uganda wiki project. If you ever want to talk about something give me a bell.

African banks
Hi I doubt you know but I have created economcy templates for the African countries at WikiProject Africa/Economy templates.

Translation of a short story
Hi! So, you speak Luganda. I hope, you could help me. I'm a Hungarain wikipedian, my name is Norbert Kiss. I wrote a really short story and now I have 121 translations about it, but only two are from the real Africa. Could you make me a Luganda version? The English version is here:

Myself
Ancient are my people to whom I belong, we are ancient ones, on this whole world. I speak an ancient language, the language of my own. I live in an ancient land, I’ve never lived elsewhere, and I belong here. This is me, myself. I am alone in the big world. I am alone, my nation passed away a long time ago, only I stayed. I speak my ancient language alone.

I am wandering on the road called life, I eat my bread and I drink my water alone. It is me who writes my books and I am the one who reads them. I climb the mountains behind my house; me I get the fish from the river which is in front of my house. Every day I go up to the hills to think and to meditate alone, only me on my own. While I was away, I have seen other people; some of them came to my land. I was good to them. I gave them food and drink, they could rest in my houses.

And now... strangers tell me, when they come here, what I should do, what I’m allowed to do. But here I am the landlord, I am the owner, I am the one who is at home. This is my ancient home, where my fathers and their fathers lived. This is my home, my land; I live here on my own.

I hope, you could help me. --Eino81 (talk) 10:03, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Districts
HI, good to see you are still doing well. I was wondering if you could copy and paste the infobox in Wakiso District and add one to all of the other districts and add the relevant details. I think we can replace the old red maps to with the ones in the example given, they look of a higher quality. Himalayan   23:21, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi. I've decided to draw up some templates by district at WikiProject Uganda/District templates. See Template:Kalangala District. The idea will be to eventually have a detailed guide by each district connecting all articles within it on counties/towns and villages, notable landmarks geo features. economy companies, schools, notable people etc. If you like the ide and format please let me know. Specifically are ther elikely to be articles on counties/sub counties and parishes and villages emerging or what? Please let me know if you ar ehappy with the columns or suggest something I can do to improve them and I will create all the templates for you ready to fill if so given that much of your work is geared to improving content by district anyway... If you understand how the templates work, then you can add whatever content to them you think notable by district.. Dr. Blofeld       White cat 20:52, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Judging by the administrative structure in Uganda it seems I have constructed a fairly good basic template for you to build upon. I've started Template:Luwero District as an example added a few landmarks. Basically just cram in as many notable articles blue or red linked to each one as possible. If you are happy with the idea I'll create all the templates tomorrow empty ready for filling. I'm certian it would also help organize things for you. We also need to be listing the missing county/sub-county and parish articles at least and at somedate all of the villages... Dr. Blofeld       White cat 21:47, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Please communicate thanks. Dr. Blofeld       White cat 17:29, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi. Well admittedly I get quite frustrated when governments keep changing their districts all the time. It messes everything up from an encyclopedia point of view and means having to redraw everything. The idea is that you add all of the missing counties and sub counties/parishes to the templates by district and any towns or villages which you think should have an article and any topic you think should have an article. If you'd like me to go ahead and create empty templates ready for filling let me know but gradually I want these templates brought into the mainspace at the foot of articles...

Page titles
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give NIC Bank Uganda a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into NC Bank Uganda. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

Categorisation
Hi. You're doing great work on African academia, can I just make two comments? One is that although each country is free to use whatever format for category names they want, it helps other people guess category names if they conform to some kind of standard format. In the case of your "X University academics" categories you should be aware that the usual forms are either "X University faculty" for US/Australian academics or "Academics of X University" for British articles. I'd also ask you to categorise any new categories you make - there's no point having a category if people can't find it! Plus it makes more work for people like me who sweep up any categories that aren't categorised... Also since we don't know the subject so well we may make mistakes in the categorisation. The academics categories may also need "X University people" and "X University" categories creating - I know it's extra work but they will be needed in the long term and it will encourage people to further develop the hierarchy with eg alumni etc. You can copy the categories I've set up in eg, and. Anyway, keep up the good work! Le Deluge (talk) 12:22, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

Pakuba Airfield / Kabalega Falls Airport
Hi Fsmatovu,

in different places you have suggested that "Pakuba Airfield" and "Kabalega Falls Airport" appear to be the same entity. I have established that this is indeed the case. Many online resources (such as Google Maps, Wikimapia, and others) mistakenly call the airstrip next to Pakuba "Kabalega Falls Airport". However, there is no airport with this name. Instead, the one next to Pakuba is denoted Pakuba Airfield. The second airstrip within Murchison Falls National Park is named Bugungu Airstrip. Unfortunately, many resources call this one "Pakuba Airport". This doesn't make sense, as this second one is on the southern bank of the Nile and not at all near to Pakuba village. I have made the necessary corrections on Pakuba Airport and List of airports in Uganda. My question for you is now this: Could you cast some light on the name "Kabalega Falls Airport"? Is there an airport with this name anywhere in Uganda? Or where else does this false information come from?

Jomibe (talk) 14:41, 16 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Hi Jomibe, thank you for the work that you are doing. Give me some time to make further inquires. I will report back when I get relevant information. Thanks. Fsmatovu (talk)
 * Hi Jomibe, I have looked around and the only plausible explanation goes back to when dictator Idi Amin ruled Uganda (1971 - 1979). He and Mobutu Sese Seko in neighboring Zaire enacted reforms that attempted to Africanize some of the landmarks in both countries. Lake Edward was briefly named "Lake Mobutu" and Lake George (Uganda) was briefly named "Lake Amin". Murchison Falls was named "Kabalega Falls". Murchison Falls National Park was renamed "Kabalega Falls National Park" and Pakuba Airport became Kabalega Falls Airport, being the airport that serves the national park. Although these changes may have been made in good faith, they were done haphazardly, by dictators with little International credibility and were reversed as soon as the two rulers were deposed. The temporary changes in names were not recognized outside the two countries. Fsmatovu (talk) 18:51, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi Fsmatovu, wow! Thank you for your extensive research. I think the explanation you provide is very plausible. I had already found out that Murchison Falls National Park was at some point called "Kabalega Falls National Park". So this is in line with your explanation. Thanks again!

Africa Finance Corporation
Hi Fsmatovu – I see that you recently created Africa Finance Corporation. I have drafted some additional content on this organisation, namely sections on its history and some of the major financing deals that have taken place. What I've done is merged our two drafts in my user space (see here). That draft now has an expanded introduction summarising what's in this larger article, then the sections covering history and financing, and then your sections covering shareholders, management and credit rating. I've added a couple of other names to the shareholders as there are some others listed in ref 33 (including Sanjeev Gupta, who according to ref 34 is actually a shareholder rather than part of the senior management team). I have a COI here in that I work for Bell Pottinger, a PR agency in London, and AFC is my client – see my user page for more info. Would you have time to take a look at this expanded draft and see whether you'd be happy to transfer it across to the main article space? The references are all sound and the tone is neutral. I will also be able to get hold of a logo and release it under a free licence for use in the infobox. Many thanks. HOgilvy (talk) 16:39, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

Infobox road issue
The UC coding is only for roads under construction and not yet opened to traffic. If they're being upgraded, but have been initially opened to traffic, that coding should not be used.

Coordinator
Hi, as I know you're an experienced editor here with Uganda topics I was wondering if you could help. The Africa contest proposal doesn't exactly have WM gushing with support. They think we need a coordinator for this in Africa to run an effective contest. I was wondering if you could offer to help me coordinate the contests and comment there? I know Uganda is your specialty but the same principle would be applied to all areas of Africa. I'd be willing to do much of the work but need a few people from within Africa on board with me.♦ Dr. Blofeld  08:47, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for that. If you could post at here and state that you're an African wikipedian with much experience and that you'd be willing to help coordinate the contests this would be great. I would do most of the work drawing up the framework, but I might need some help drawing up some of the core article lists and identifying what is most important. Cheers.♦ Dr. Blofeld  07:16, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

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. 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  15:23, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

An award for you!
Hi, can you enter the articles you improve/create into the list on WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge from now on? I think seeing the body of work will encourage others to produce more!10:55, 4 September 2016 (UTC)

Was editing Joke Silva and this is a red link. Wondered if you could find something on it to start? , ♦ Dr. Blofeld  14:17, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Thankyou for that. Can you sign up for WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon? Hoping to get that running in October!♦ Dr. Blofeld  13:10, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

Destubathon
Hi, the Destubathon is definitely going ahead and will be held from October 15th to November 27th. Even if no prizes are offered haha. It's been badly needed for a very long time I think.♦ Dr. Blofeld  21:00, 4 October 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)

You don't seem to email much haha, but we've got the full grants we need for the contest now anyway, so let's hope it goes well from the 15th!♦ Dr. Blofeld  19:10, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi. I think it might be best to keep contest entries in a separate list accumulating on the main page of the contest for six weeks and treat that as the challenge entry for this duration. I thought it might be best to add the entries to the list once done and everybody is clear on that and then we can see all of the entries specifically done for the contest too. I think the best thing would be to keep all the entries for the Destubathon for six weeks, compile a big list of all entries improved from tomorrow to 27th of November, and then tip the big list into the challenge oneat the end (like I did with the UK one from the Dragon contest). Those editors who opt out though we won't include their articles. Obviously if you do any of work in the meantime which can't count for the contest that can count towards the challenge. That OK? I will create a new list at the bottom of the main contest page, and then we can resume directly with the challenge at the end of November.♦ Dr. Blofeld  20:55, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

Africa Finance Corporation – some updates
Hi Fsmatovu, I hope you're well. We worked together in April on Africa Finance Corporation, which you had started. There have been a few more developments since including a number of new projects, an energy joint venture with Harith General Partners, and its credit rating being reaffirmed by Moody's for the second year running. I've updated my userspace draft with updates along these lines – these are marked up in blue with some strikethroughs where necessary. Note that one of these is that Jibril Aku is no longer on the board. I've also included a list of current projects – I've included secondary sources for most of these but some are only listed on the AFC website. If you're happy with these proposed changes, on the talk page of the same draft is a clean version without the mark ups. Let me know what you think. As I mentioned last time, I have a COI in that AFC is my client. Best regards. HOgilvy (talk) 21:24, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

 * 3) Paste the command given above into that and save.
 * 4) Now approach an article and look in the tools section on the left. You should see "Page size". Click that for each article and you'll quickly get a reading on readable prose without having to paste text all of the time and look externally.♦ Dr. Blofeld  08:03, 15 October 2016 (UTC)

On the contest vs challenge you mentioned, see the bottom of WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon now, that'll function as the challenge-type list for the next six weeks, though if you do any work which can't count for the contest that of course can go on the challenge page. If you could add the destubbing entries you do for the contest and add your articles you do yourself to that list, aside from the entries page I would be grateful as it will save me time gathering up the entries if I know you've taken care of adding your own! At the end of the six weeks we'll add that list to the Challenge page, but respect those who want to opt out of having their entries count towards that.♦ Dr. Blofeld  08:58, 15 October 2016 (UTC)

Emailed!♦ Dr. Blofeld  19:11, 15 October 2016 (UTC)

If you can add a bit to Ministry of Education and Sports (Uganda), Sylvia Tamale, Ministry of Defence and Veterans Affairs (Uganda) so they meet length requirements I'll give you the credits for those too!♦ Dr. Blofeld  07:29, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

You can add new articles on anything to the main list on the Destubathon page, as long as they're not stubs. But obviously can't count on the entries page!♦ Dr. Blofeld  17:18, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Dr. Blofeld OK. Will move the aricle in question to the right place. Fsmatovu (talk) 17:29, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

Major article improvements to anything beyond stubs also welcome on the main list but not eligible for prizes, but welcome all the same. Thanks for your work to date on some important topics :-)♦ Dr. Blofeld  17:34, 19 October 2016 (UTC) Quality start class articles like Isinya–Singida High Voltage Power Line also welcome on main list of Destubathon but not worth contest credits. Only thing not accepted is stubs!♦  Dr. Blofeld  19:03, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

Dear fellow editors, On Thursday 17 November 2016, I traveled to Uganda where I will be working for the next five months. My new location had no electricity until today, Saturday 3 December 2016; so I had no Internet for the past 16 days. I am now back online on an intermittent basis. I will try to contact those who have been looking for me. Special thanks to Dr. Blofeld, Anthere and GrecoRomanNut. Fsmatovu (talk) 20:57, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

Question about an old edit
Hello, Fsmatovu,

I realize that this is coming out of the blue, but do you remember what source you used for this edit? We had some IP editors spamming JK Mineral/Diamond info on Wikipedia and since you added information about J&K Mineral Company, I thought I'd ask you where you came across this information because I can't find information on this company outside of India. If you could recall a source that mentioned this company, that would be great. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 01:23, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

Introducing myself
Hello Fsmatovu,

Nice to e-meet you. As you will see from my personal page, I am the Executive Assistant to the CEO at Lekela, a renewable power generation company operating in Africa. I’ve been appointed the in-house Wikipedian in residence to help ensure that information about Lekela is factual, fair, and balanced, in line with Wikipedia standards and guidelines.

I have noticed that you appear to be interested in Africa and renewable energy and that you have edited/created the Taiba N'Diaye Wind Power Station page (a project of Lekela’s).

With that in mind, I wondered whether it would be possible to work with you to help improve the Taiba N'Diaye Wind Power Station page, specifically?

Best, Jas

Bio style
In referring to people in an article, please use their last name, unless they are a popular entertainer or similar figure. For example, in Mary Wangari Wamae, the individual should be referred to as Wamae, not Mary--and, when possible, it's better to use "she" instead of repeating the name it all. If you use the first name alone, it doesn't look professional. (it''s also a gooddidea to try to avoid one-sentence paragraphs.) I'll check in a few days to check that you made the changes, and you might look at some of you other bios also.  DGG ( talk ) 05:55, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

Juliet Sekabunga Nalwanga
Hello! Thanks so much getting involved with the page for Juliet Sekabunga Nalwanga - just a reminder that the lead is a summary of the article, so it doesn't need references it, but you do need to add that content to either of the headings you added below. It's always nice to see other editors work on pages you start, so thank you! Lajmmoore (talk) 18:56, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

Lekela Power
Hi there,

My name is Maddy, and I work for Headland Consultancy. We are a UK PR firm that represents a number of clients, including Lekela Power.

I’m getting in touch with you today because I can see that you have contributed quite a bit to Lekela’s Wikipedia presence, having created and edited much of the article linked above.

I was wondering if you would be interested in making a further edit to Lekela’s page, as the information on its wind farms is not fully up to date. Lekela has recently opened a new wind farm, Perdekraal East, in South Africa. It has a capacity of 112.6MW.

I hope that you will consider contributing this information to Lekela’s page. Do let me know if you have any questions or require any further information on the above.

Thanks,
