Contests

User:Dr. Blofeld has created Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Africa/Contests. The idea is to run a series of contests/editathons focusing on each region of Africa. He has spoken to Wikimedia about it and $1000-1500 is possible for prize money. As someone who has previously expressed interest in African topics, would you be interested in contributing to one or assisting draw up core article/missing article lists? He says he's thinking of North Africa for an inaugural one in October. If interested please sign up in the participants section of the Contest page, thanks.♦ --Ser Amantio di Nicolao_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 01:36, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi, Thank you, for uploading this file.

However, as part of ongoing efforts to ensure all media on English Misplaced Pages is correctly licensed and attributed it would be appreciated if you were able to confirm some details,

If it's your own work, please include {{own}}, amend the {{information}} added by a third party, and change the license to an appropriate "self" variant. You can also add |claimed=yes to the {{media by uploader}} tag if it is present to indicate that you've acknowledged the image, and license shown (and updated the {{information}} where appropriate).

If it's not your own work please provide as much sourcing/authorship information as you are able to.

This will assist those reviewing the many many "free" images on commons that have not yet been transfered to Commons.Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:43, 23 July 2016 (UTC)

Administrative Subdivisons source material?

Hello! I see that you've gotten out of the mapping business on Misplaced Pages, which is quite reasonable. That being the case, would you be willing to share the data you've collected so that the rest of us can build on your excellent work without having to rebuild things from square one? Any form of vector or geographic data would be great - as of now we just have the final rendered bitmap, and scattered SVGs for various countries, so it'd be nice to have the collected dataset to work with.

If you'd rather keep it to yourself, I understand, but I wanted to ask before I started trying to hunt things down myself. Thanks! --The Human Spellchecker (talk) 18:57, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
