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.

Edit warring at Black British

Hello Ackees. Recently you tried to file a report at WP:AN3 but your report was declined as malformed. My guess is you were trying to draw attention to a dispute at Black British where you and another party have each made several reverts. If the reverts continue, blocks of both sides are possible. It would be better for you to start a discussion at Talk:Black British and explain why you think your material belongs. Though I don't know the background here, the other party removed your material with this edit summary, "non-applicable; adjective referred to all ethnic minorities in the past & modern term refers first & foremost to subset of afro-caribbeans". It is up to editor consensus as to whether the material stays or goes. Your reference to WP:FRINGE is puzzling and it would certainly help to know your rationale. Presenting your views on the article talk page is best. There's a previous discussion at Talk:Somalis in the United Kingdom#Undue & unrepresentative. If you are stuck, see WP:Dispute resolution. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 16:36, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

Please see the result of the edit warring case at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Middayexpress reported by User:Ackees (Result: Both warned). Admins may block one or both of you if the war continues. You should not make any edits that assume an answer to the question whether Somalis are black until a consensus has been reached on a suitable talk page. An WP:RFC is one way to ensure a decisive answer. If necessary you can ask for admin to close the RFC. RFCs can address multiple questions at the same time if needed.

Black People - Order of Continents

Hi Ackees,

I edited the page Black People in January 2013 and rearranged the continents by alphabet.

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)
