WikiAfrica subpages
Hi. :) I just wanted to let you know that the subpages you created, WikiAfrica Workshops and WikiAfrica Workshop, have been moved from "article space" to project space. They can now be located at Wikipedia:WikiAfrica/Workshops and Wikipedia:WikiAfrica/Workshop. Since the remaining redirects are being cleaned up for housekeeping reasons, I wanted to be sure you knew where to find them. If you have any questions about this, please drop me a line at my talk page, and I'll be happy to go into more detail. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:43, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, you may not know that Wikipedia has a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia makes it harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 16:34, 31 October 2008 (UTC)


 * This is Wikipedia, not the Chimurenga Library. Do not just copy/paste their articles here. They do not follow any of our guidelines and the edits you recently made on Y-Mag, Tstotso, and Savacou to replicate those articles and claim that Chimurenga Library is the "official website" of those magazines were completely inappropriate and have all been reverted. If you want to improve their articles, please do so at that website, but the articles here must conform to Wikipedia guidelines and policies.-- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 16:36, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Image permission problem with Image:Tsotso Magazine.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Tsotso Magazine.jpg I noticed that that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the image (or other media file) agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the GFDL or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to [mailto:permissions-en@wikimedia.org permissions-en@wikimedia.org], stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the image to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the image has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to [mailto:permissions-en@wikimedia.org permissions-en@wikimedia.org].

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the image's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too.

Proposed deletion of Abdoulaye Armin Kane
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Abdoulaye Armin Kane, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process&#32; because of the following concern:
 * non-notable artist

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Proposed deletion of Cheikh Tidiane Gaye


The article Cheikh Tidiane Gaye has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners or ask at Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. magnius (talk) 17:14, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
