 * Less on the generic side it's always great to see a new editor who is interested in countering sistemic bias that affects in an apalling way all articles concerning Africa-related topics. Regarding the point you raised, the best place to direct the material is the already existing Battle of N'Djamena (2008). I've already redirected there your new article, to avoid to articles on the same identical topic. And please, if you have anything to ask, or some doubt on anything, don't be afraid, as I'm always happy to help somebody who shares my same interests. Ciao!--Aldux (talk) 14:23, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

UN info for Maurizio Giuliano
Hey Songhonite, I have been involved in editing the article on the above, as I am familiar with the subject and especially Cuban issues he covered. As for his work with the UN, I understand that you know him (work with him, or at least in the same organization, right ?). Any chance you can help with the UN info or find someone who can do so, I mean in terms of improving info and getting the references in ? Cheers, --CCorward (talk) 02:02, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Conflict in the CAR cleanup
Hi, I'm trying to clean up the structure of the articles on the conflict in the CAR by merging 2012 Central African Republic rebellion into Central African Republic Bush War. I explained and substantiated the reasoning here: Talk:2012 Central African Republic rebellion and would appreciate the input of WikiProject CAR members. Thanks!

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)

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)
