|||
The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them. |
|||
Greetings! |
|||
[[Wikipedia:WikiProject AfroCine|The AfroCine Project]] invites you to join us again this October and November, [[Wikipedia:WikiProject AfroCine/Months of African Cinema|the two months which are dedicated to improving content]] about the cinema of Africa, the Caribbean, and the diaspora. |

Portals are being redesigned. |

Kindly [[Wikipedia:WikiProject AfroCine/Months of African Cinema#Participants|list your username under the participants section]] to indicate your interest in participating in this contest. |
|||
The new design features are being applied to existing portals. |
|||
We would be awarding prizes to different categories of winners: |
|||
At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template {{tl|Transclude lead excerpt}}. |
|||
*'''''Overall winner''''' |

Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Portals#Specific_portal_maintainers|here]]''', noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time. |

== Welcome to the Months of African Cinema Global Contest! == |
|||
On April 8th, 2018, an [[Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/RfC: Ending the system of portals|RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace]]. On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals. |
|||
{{Ivmbox|[[File:AfroCine - bare logo.png|211px|frameless|right]] |
|||
There's an [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2018-05-24/WikiProject report|article in the current edition of the Signpost interviewing project members about the RfC and the Portals WikiProject]]. |
|||
Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals. |
|||
So far, 84 editors have joined. |
|||
If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals/Newsletter archive|newsletter archive]]. |
|||
If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the [[WT:WPPORT|WikiProject's talk page]]. |

Greetings! |

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. |
|||
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. |
|||
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. |

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!
