Do you see any advantage or disadvantage of any sort of our proposed event registration system?
Will it provide ease of access and use to you as a campaign organizer?
Does the proposed event registration provide convenience for registering participants?
What are the essential features this first version needs to have so that you can use it?
When you are running a campaign, what information do you typically send to participants, and where do you usually send it

(e.g., talk page, email, social media, etc)?

Do you prefer that we build the desktop version first or the mobile version of the registration system first?
Is there anything else you would like to add?

Despite Media Group moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Despite Media Group, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Celestina007 (talk) 10:25, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

The Despite Media Group is a very notable Ghanaian media organization I made it a stub just so it can be improved later when we find more independent sources for it. Moreover this stub article was written during a training program we organized for newbies to show them how to create a stub article since newbies can't create articles instantly they agreed I do that. But thanks I have noticed your concerns and would work on it. Owula kpakpo (talk) 10:53, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

Notice

The article Justice Ofori has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

While accomplished, not enough in-depth coverage from reliable, independent sources to meet WP:GNG.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Onel5969 TT me 12:13, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi User:Onel5969, Justice Ofori is the Commissioner of Insurance in Ghana a very high profile Government of Ghana position which the person is nominated directly by the president to that office. This person meets WP:NPOL since his office is tied to the tenure of the president of the republic of Ghana. This makes the subject meet WP:GNG, I am at a loss why you claim he is not notable with the abundance of third party sources we have provided.

Kofi Adonteng Boateng moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Kofi Adonteng Boateng, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) In addition, there appears to be a WP:UPE or WP:COI conflict. Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, and have addressed the UPE/COI issue, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. As per WP policy, please do not move into mainspace yourself. Onel5969 TT me 15:52, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi Onel5969 , I have resubmitted the article because clearly it meets the most basic Wikipedia's general notability guideline, also you have have failed to put the so-called WP:UPE or WP:COI information you speak has been referenced in your post to help me deal with it should I find that to be true. Moving the article to draftspace is the most unfortunate and after 5 years of editing Wikipedia consistently and growing a community in Ghana and being part of the Wikimedia Movement in different capacities. I can confidently say you clearly not showing any good faith in moving the article to draftspace. This is a Clergyman widely reported in the Ghana media with not less than 10 independently sourced articles which is more than what English Wikipedia requires for notability. Owula kpakpo (talk) 16:33, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Kofi Adonteng Boateng has been accepted

Campaigns Product Update #3

Hello Campaigns Product Newsletter subscribers!

We are excited to share our updates:

  • Proposal to create new namespaces: We have proposed to create two namespaces, which are “Event” and “Event talk.” This way, we can easily create an Event Center that pulls data from event pages. This Event Center may include tools to create event pages with registration support, a calendar of events, and event statistics, among other features. More importantly, the Event Center will highlight organizing as an essential part of the Wikimedia movement. Please give us feedback on Phabricator or Meta about our proposal to create two new namespaces.
  • Engineering updates: We are excited that we have finished hiring for our engineering team! Three engineers and an engineering manager have joined our team since our last update. In the last few months, they have conducted technical planning and launched the building phase of the project. They are now building the registration tool. You can see the updated team on meta.
  • Design updates: We conducted usability tests with a small group of testers for early feedback on the desktop wireframes. After collecting this feedback, we have developed a new version for desktop wireframes, which will be ready to share in the next few weeks. These desktop wireframes display the user flow of two experiences: one for organizers who want to add registration to their event pages, and another for participants who want to register for an event. Additionally, the design team is also currently working on the first version of mobile wireframes, which will be shared during the next office hour.
1. View the latest desktop wireframes in Figma for Campaign Organizer Prototype and Participant Registration Prototype.
2. Leave us some feedback on the desktop wireframes. Note that we haven’t posted the newest version of the desktop wireframes on the project page yet, but we will soon (and you can feel free to add feedback on any version you have seen).
  • Ambassador updates: Three product ambassadors for the Arabic, French and Swahili communities have now joined our team! They will help us collect feedback from Wikimedia communities about the project and understand the needs of organizers, through gathering first-hand information. These ambassadors are immersed as actual members of these communities, so they will also help us identify the needs of the organizers in our pilot communities. The ambassadors are: M. Bachounda for Arabic communities, Georges Fodouop for French communities, and Antoni Mtavangu for Swahili communities.

What is next?

Next Office Hour: We will be holding an office hour on March 31, 2022 at 15:00 UTC, which will be conducted via Zoom. We invite everyone to attend, and we really hope to see you! The focus will be on the Registration Tool. The team will also be providing community updates on the usability test findings and design highlights for the wireframes. We will also share our current Project timeline and answer any questions you may have. Join us and share your thoughts on these developments!
In a few months, we are expecting to have the early testable version of the tool. By then, the team will be doing the first round of general testing and gathering feedback. We are looking forward to adding more features on the tool such as communication support, potentially by the end of this year. If you know other organizers that might be interested in following these developments, please recommend that they subscribe to the newsletter. We want to receive as much feedback as we can.

Thank you!

Mentoring around Ghana content

Hello Owula kpakpo -- I'm signed up to be a mentor with the Growth features, which means that newcomers ask me questions about editing. I've received a question from a newcomer who is trying to write articles about Ghanaian musicians, and I am looking for advice so I can help them succeed -- I'm hoping you can give me some tips or point me toward someone who can, since you are an experienced Wikipedian with Wikimedia Ghana User Group. Here's an article the newcomer is drafting, which uses as references websites like ghanaweb.com. I can see from Alexa that GhanaWeb is a very popular website in Ghana, but many of the people reviewing drafts don't recognize it. Have you encountered this situation before? I think that this topic is notable inside Ghana, but I want to figure out how to explain that to the reviewers, so I can help this newcomer. Thank you for reading this, and if you have any time, please let me know what you think! -- Cloud atlas (talk) 04:05, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

Hi Cloud atlas,

Thanks for reaching out to him and to the question you asked yes Ghanaweb is one of the credible websites in Ghana. I looked up the article and noticed the person must be taken through a Wikipedia editing process because they lack certain basic editing skills which is very pertinent to their growth in the community. First the threshold for adding reference for English Wikipedia for biography article is 3 but only one was added. Also maybe you need to walk the person through adding references, NPOV and the rest. Let me know if this helps. Owula kpakpo (talk) 15:52, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
