{{Ivmbox|[[File:AfroCine - bare logo.png|211px|frameless|right]] |
|||
Greetings! |
|||
After a successful [[Wikipedia:WikiProject AfroCine/Months of African Cinema/2018|first iteration of the “Months of African Cinema” last year]], we are happy to announce that it will be happening again this year, starting from October 1! In the 2018 edition of the contest, about 600 Wikipedia articles were created in at least 8 languages. There were also contributions to Wikidata and Wikimedia commons, which brought the total number of wikimedia pages created during the contest to over 1,000. |
|||
[[Wikipedia:WikiProject AfroCine|The AfroCine Project]] welcomes you to October, the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject AfroCine/Months of African Cinema|first out of the two months which have been dedicated to creating and improving content]] that centre around the cinema of Africa, the Caribbean, and the diaspora. Join us in this global edit-a-thon, by helping to create or expand articles which are connected to this scope. Also remember to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject AfroCine/Months of African Cinema#Participants|list your name under the participants section]]. |
|||
On English Wikipedia, we would be recognizing participants in the following manner: |
|||
*'''''Overall winner''''' (1st, 2nd, 3rd places) |
|||
*'''''Diversity winner''''' |
|||
*'''''Gender-gap fillers''''' |
|||
For further information about the contest, the recognition categories and how to participate, please visit the contest page [[Wikipedia:WikiProject AfroCine/Months of African Cinema|here]].

== Request for information on WP1.0 web tool == |
|||
Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the [[User:WP_1.0_bot|WP 1.0 Bot]]! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the [[:toolforge:enwp10/cgi-bin/pindex.fcgi|web tool]] that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables. |
|||
We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScK30kJtKQ3cp-QLY1VJhB94HP2q6437Cdk3E2rVRYHowcL4A/viewform?usp=sf_link this Google form] where you can leave your response.

Hi. |
|||
I raised a concern at [[Talk:Patriotic Front (Zambia)#Information Accuracy]]. May we look what what I wrote there. [[User:GeographicAccountant|GeographicAccountant]] ([[User talk:GeographicAccountant|talk]]) 13:00, 5 December 2023 (UTC) |
|||
== [[Distro Kuomboka]] == |
|||
This article [[Distro Kuomboka]] is one of the oldest unreferenced articles on the site and deals with a Zambian band. Would anyone be able to take a look at this? Thanks. [[User:Tooncool64|Tooncool64]] ([[User talk:Tooncool64|talk]]) 07:01, 23 December 2023 (UTC) |

== [[WP:DCWC|Developing Countries WikiContest]] == |
|||
Starting this July, we will see a new contest on the scene - the Developing Countries WikiContest ([[WP:DCWC]])! Think of it as a [[WP:CUP|WikiCup]] but only for articles and media on developing countries. |
|||
Competitors may submit [[WP:GA|GA]]s, [[WP:GT|GT]]s, [[WP:FA|FA]]s, [[WP:FT|FT]]s, [[WP:FL|FL]]s, [[WP:FP|FP]]s, and [[WP:DYK|DYK]] and [[WP:ITN|ITN]] entries from/on developing countries to gain points and proceed to further rounds. Points are also awarded to those who review GAs, FAs and FLs. |
|||
Zambia is listed as a least-developed country for the purposes of this contest, which means Zambia-related submissions to the contest will get a multiplier in points. I encourage everyone here to sign up and compete with editors from around the world to create high-quality content! |
|||
Append your name to the [[WP:2024 Developing Countries WikiContest/Signups|DCWC signup page]] today! |

This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.
If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none
parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.
Message sent by User:Addbot to all active wiki projects per request, Comments on the message and bot are welcome here.

Hi.
I raised a concern at Talk:Patriotic Front (Zambia)#Information Accuracy. May we look what what I wrote there. GeographicAccountant (talk) 13:00, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
This article Distro Kuomboka is one of the oldest unreferenced articles on the site and deals with a Zambian band. Would anyone be able to take a look at this? Thanks. Tooncool64 (talk) 07:01, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
Starting this July, we will see a new contest on the scene - the Developing Countries WikiContest (WP:DCWC)! Think of it as a WikiCup but only for articles and media on developing countries.
Competitors may submit GAs, GTs, FAs, FTs, FLs, FPs, and DYK and ITN entries from/on developing countries to gain points and proceed to further rounds. Points are also awarded to those who review GAs, FAs and FLs.
Zambia is listed as a least-developed country for the purposes of this contest, which means Zambia-related submissions to the contest will get a multiplier in points. I encourage everyone here to sign up and compete with editors from around the world to create high-quality content!
Append your name to the DCWC signup page today!
