Wiki Loves Africa 2021-WPWP campaign prize categories
[edit]Hello User:TOUMOU,
We are glad to inform you and your community about the Wiki Loves Africa 2021-WPWP campaign prize categories.
Every year, thousands of images are uploaded to Wikimedia Commons database as part of the Wiki Loves Africa photo contest.
Most of these images end up on...let's say English Wikipedia, but we believe it would be great to use these same images in the equivalent articles in different languages!
So this year, we invite you to take some time to use Wiki Loves Africa images to illustrate Wikipedia articles in various languages. And there are prizes for the most involved!
1st prize - US $100 gift card 1st to 3rd prizes – WLA souvenirs (if the post office is more efficient than it has been in the recent 18 months...) All Wiki Loves Africa years are eligible (All pictures are available here https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wiki_Loves_Africa_All_Images)... BUT the first prize will consider edits made to any language except English and French.
To be eligible:
you must add #WLA as a hashtag to your edit (as well as #WPWP) you must have registered your account before January 2021 you must have made at least 300 mainspace edits to any language Wikipedia before 1st June 2021. To get more information and also see suggested images for improving various language wikis, please click https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Africa_2021/WPWP
Ensure the WPWP campaign guidelines are followed too https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Pages_Wanting_Photos_2021
On a side note, we are interested in knowing how many events your community held for Wiki Loves Africa 2021, both online and offline.
Regards,
Call For Volunteer Facilitators Across Africa 
[edit]
Dear Wikimedian,
The Africa Narrative is seeking volunteer facilitators in Egypt (two volunteers) and Senegal (two volunteers) for the AfroCreatives Wikiproject.
The AfroCreatives Wikiproject aims to support and mobilize creatives and professionals from the African creative sector, as well as enthusiasts more broadly, to contribute and enhance knowledge on Wikipedia about Africa’s creative economy. Its inaugural effort will target the film sectors of Egypt, Nigeria, Rwanda, and Senegal.
The Africa Narrative (TAN) is a non-profit that develops singular, high-impact initiatives in support of African creatives and the African cultural and creative industries with the aim to strengthen capacity in the continent’s creative economy and the global visibility of African cultural soft power.
All volunteers must have full professional proficiency in English. In Senegal, they must have native or full professional proficiency in French; in Egypt, they must have native or full professional proficiency in Arabic. Volunteer facilitators should have a vast knowledge about Wikimedia projects and experience with teaching new editors.
Interested participants may sign up on the project's Meta page. You may also indicate your country and email if your Wikipedia account is not associated with any email address.

Feel free to share with an Egyptian or Senegalese Wikipedian as well.
Thank you.

Art+Feminism: Feb 15 online edit-a-thon campaign launch and upcoming conversations
[edit].jpg)
We have some exciting events coming up that we’d love to share with you!
At Art+Feminism, we believe that as feminist editors, our strength is in collective action. When we edit together, we share resources, knowledge, and skills; in doing so, we form a defense against harassment within the Wikiverse and beyond. Alongside our initiatives to close diversity gaps and create a safer Wikipedia, Art+Feminism remains committed to doing our part. This year that includes creating more virtual spaces for us to connect with one another, share knowledge, and edit together.
To start, join Art+Feminism and Wiki Editoras Lx on 15 February to discuss and practice strategies for collective editing. This event kicks off our series of virtual editing tables for our Year 11 campaign. You can see our full schedule here and register today.
We’ll also be hosting two special conversations: Online & On the Ground: Abortion Activism in Maryland and Collective Imagination + Radical Futures: Kansas City Organizers on Making Art & Building Power. These online events are open to all and we hope to see you there!
If you’d like to join the campaign by hosting your own A+F event but haven’t yet, it’s not too late! You can view our campaign resources here and send us an email to let us know you’re joining.
