Would people be interested in joining a wikiproject on improving and creating articles about oral tradition? Wikipedia's coverage on this appears to be very poor Kowal2701 (talk) 19:09, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240723190900","author":"Kowal2701","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Kowal2701-20240723190900-WP:WikiProject_Oral_tradition","replies":["c-HandsomeBoy-20240726204800-Kowal2701-20240723190900"]}}-->

Hi. You should have provided links to know what it is about. My first time hearing about the term, and I am pretty sure I am not alone.

Interesting. I know there was something done by the Wikimedia Nigeria (off-wiki community) regarding documenting oral culture in Nigeria, and there were many persons involved in the project. I wonder if some of them might be interested or link you to persons interested. This is a valuable topic area that have the potential to transcend English wiki to other wiki platforms. If you can send them an email to them or reachout to Kaizenify or Olaniyan Olushola, they might let you know persons that will be interested. Personally, I will be following the activities of the WikiProject if it comes to life, but not sure if I will be actively involved. That being said, other on-wiki members might be.

Hello WikiProject Nigeria:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2024!

Running from October 1 to 31, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!
