WSSP
Hi Middayexpress. I am new to Wikipedia and would like some clarification and advise. As you are aware I created a page on WSSP and there seems to be a duplicate page with my material supported by the WikiSomalia project. You have asked me to delete my version. I am happy to do that provided the version supported by WikiSomalia and which you have started is accepted. However as the author of this article, I have rights to be cited in the history tab as the creator. At the moment, the history tab implies you created the page without any other input from SolarSM. You also contest that my version is a duplicate of yours when this clearly not true. Again, I am new to this, so please be kind to explain.

Thank you.

 * Yes, I noticed you just created this account, and it's definitely noted. Refer to WP:OWN for the rest. Middayexpress (talk) 16:37, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for that link. I am happy to delete the version I have and contribute to the one you have created. Before I do, can you clarify what the status of the "other version" is? Is it accepted now given it is listed in search results? I tried searching through Wikipedia and it doesn't autocomplete the search words but is listed. Thanks for your assistance. Much appreciated.

 * It's an article, just like you attempted to write. Admins will handle the deletion, among other things. I have contacted various established members, and they will be monitoring the page to make sure everything is kosher. Middayexpress (talk) 16:53, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
 * User Middayexpress is now in trouble for copying your page without attribution to you, and your page has now been moved to the article space at Worldwide Somali Students & Professionals so that you are credited with creating it. Thankyou for contributing to Wikipedia. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:25, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

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. 01:37, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
