Sauti za Busara
Hi Moongateclimber

I am writing from the office of Sauti za Busara. Thank you for starting the Sauit wiki page. We will do our best to keep it up to date.

Also, there is a facebook PAGE for Sauti za Busara see http://www.facebook.com/pages/Sauti-za-Busara/183830174970620

Again, we are pleased that exists but we don't know who created/controls it. These days you cannot see the admin of a facebook page. Is this by any chance a page you have created? If so please can you consider giving us admin rights? We do want to establish a facebook PAGE for Sauti za Busara - and if we cannot get control of this one then we shall need to start a separate "offical" one.

Many thanks in advance Pwezapweza (talk) 15:37, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi Moongateclimber

Thank you for your reply - it was somewhat helpful but now I am really confused - is it possible you can contact me directly by email on pwezapweza@gmail.com thanks Pwezapweza (talk) 12:17, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi Moongateclimber I see you changed the Wikipedia page for Sauti za Busara. Unfortunately you had misunderstood my communication. For now I have pointed the reference to the Official GROUP on Facebook.

Can I assume from your lack of direct response that you do not know anything about the Facebook PAGE - ie you are not the creator/aministrator?

thanks

Speedy deletion nomination of Msondo Ngoma


A tag has been placed on Msondo Ngoma requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. — Ryulong ( 竜龙 ) 09:24, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Musawarat article merge
Apologies for missing this article when I created Musawwarat es-Sufra.

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Zaiko Langa Langa albums


A tag has been placed on Category:Zaiko Langa Langa albums requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

Hello Moongateclimber,

I recently wrote a short digital work (in French) presenting the rules of the mancala game Bao la kiswahili. This work being in two parts, to embellish it I'd like to include two of your images as cover artwork (with all due credits in the foreword) : - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bao_players_in_stone_town_zanzibar.jpg - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bao_players_makonde_statue.jpg

To the best of my knowledge, you released the former image in the public domain, whereas the latter is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported license. Though I assume that my use of your artwork would fall within the scope of this license (as the license states users are allowed to copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format and makes clear that the use of the material is approved for free cultural works), I'd like to make sure that you don't object to my using it in my small digital book on Bao la kiswahili, which I intend to make available online, free of charge.

Please let me know (bao.la.kiswahili@gmail.com) if you agree to my use of your artwork.
