Adoption request & Mentorship
Hi, I'd be happy to adopt you and help out in any way I can. I don't know too much about education in Swaziland but I will definitely help if I can, especially with generic article development stuff. That article's got a lot of room for improvement! It could use some more sources, as it's never good to rely on just one. Education in South Africa and Education in Chad might be worth looking at, for comparison, although they are by no means perfect. Education in the United States, although not in Africa, is a good article so would be a good one to get inspiration from.

If you're particularly interested in Swaziland, take a look at WikiProject Swaziland. There are only 2 members so far, so any queries would probably be best directed to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Africa. Let me know any problems or questions you have. All the best, -- Beloved Freak  12:27, 13 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Thank you Belovedfreak! OK, so just to clarify my request - it is I who have good knowledge about education in Swaziland, so no subject matter expectations on you ;). Your suggestion for me to look at the education sites mentioned above gives me an excellent start. I will also have a look at WikiProject Swaziland and make contacts there. venzen (talk) 12:48, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your kind words. It would probably be a good idea to keep our conversations together from now on. If you like you can create a separate talkpage User talk:Venzen/mentoring, or something similar to keep our mentor-type discussions separate from any other messages you might get. You don't have to, it's up to you. I'm glad to hear you've got good knowledge on the topic - that's always a good start. By the way, if you want to work on it before editing the article, you can create more userpages by extending User:Venzen (eg. User:Venzen/draft or User:Venzen/sandbox). Or, if you're happy to, you can start editing the main article straight away.-- Beloved Freak  13:07, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

OK, great, I've created the following: User talk:Venzen/mentoring and another userpage User:Venzen/SD for drafting the article. See you there. venzen (talk) 13:29, 13 July 2008 (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. 01:39, 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)
