Call for Wikipedians in Residence in Africa
Hello,
I hope you are well and thriving!! WikiAfrica has just put out a call for two Wikipedians in Residence. One in Cape Town at WikiAfrica, at the Africa Centre; and the other for WikiAfrica Cameroon in Douala, at doual’art. I would be very grateful if you could spread this call far and wide among your networks to ensure that both projects get excellent candidates. Here is the link for the information page http://www.wikiafrica.net/two-wikipedians-in-residence-for-africa/

Disambiguation link notification for November 8
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited African diaspora, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Calypso and Stuart Hall (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Black People - Order of Continents
Hi Ackees,
I edited the page
This was because the existing order did not make sense. It was not arranged by any perceivable rationale; neither population of black people, use of the term 'black people' nor anything else. You reversed the edit back to the order which I can see no logic in.
I've started a new topic in the discussion section, here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Black_people I'd appreciate it if you'd discuss with me the reasons you propose for maintaining the current order. Without such discussion I see no reason not to perform my re-ordering again to reflect an objective, un-bias (non-US-centric) perspective within the article.
Thanks. Nebuliser Nebuliser (talk) 18:28, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

Attention: WikiProject African diaspora participants
Hello fellow project participants. Not sure how many users are still active as normal Wikipedia editors but felt the need to attempt to get a gauge on who can be called on for help with articles falling under the umbrella of the African diaspora project. According to the project's article table there are over six thousand articles related to the African diaspora; there's not a hundred at FA/GA grade and there's over twelve hundred that are unassessed. With Wikipedia being one of the major information reference points in the world today we should consider this unacceptable. Much work needs to be done on the rating of the importance of articles as well. With more communication amongst participants and a dedication to addressing the articles on the to-do list I believe we can make this WikiProject one of the most well organized and thorough on the site. If you are interested in collaborative work with some of your fellow project members, have certain expertise on any particular subjects, ideals on/about the WikiProject, etc. simply drop your name under the "Project revision" section I've created on the project's talk page and state your intentions and main points of interest in our WikiProject and we can attempt to move forward from there. Hoping to hear from everyone soon! WikiGuy86 (talk) 03:45, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
