== Requested move ==
{{subst:requested move|NewName|reason=Request move from "Kabye language" to Kabiye language" for the following reasons: 1. All the researchers who have published in English have used this spelling (Essizewa, Roberts, Pèrè, Padayodi) 2. this spelling is closer to the French spelling (Kabiyè) and the Kabiye spelling (Kabɩyɛ). 3. The word has three syllables, not two.}}

Hi I posted this request in April 2014 and there has beeen no action on it since then. Can someone please tell me whether I've made the request in the correct way? New here and still learning how to do this stuff.

January 2017: Errr, obviously not...

I would start at Wikipedia: Teahouse if you have been waiting that long for a response.--Quisqualis (talk) 02:42, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

Alternatively check out WP:RM#Requesting_a_single_page_move, it clearly states edit at the bottom of the talk page of the article you want moved. The wanted talk page is Talk:Kabye_language, and "NewName" should be "Kabiye language" without the double quotes. That yields…

{{subst:requested move|Kabiye language|reason=Request move from "Kabye language" to Kabiye language" for the following reasons: 1. All the researchers who have published in English have used this spelling (Essizewa, Roberts, Pèrè, Padayodi) 2. this spelling is closer to the French spelling (Kabiyè) and the Kabiye spelling (Kabɩyɛ). 3. The word has three syllables, not two.}}

…including the curly braces, but not the funny monospace box surrounding the example on WP:RM. You could also (better!) suggest a technical move in the WP:RM#Uncontroversial_technical_requests section with…

{{subst:RMassist|Kabye language|Kabiye language|reason=your reasons stated above}}

My error

Looking at the History page, I mistook your edit on Alternative Facts for another edit, posted a nasty message, and realized my error. I thought I blanked my message, and it appears that I must have selected way too much text for deletion. It was completely unintentional, very sloppy, and I'm sorry you had to replace what I erased.--Quisqualis (talk) 02:39, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi Quisqualis No problem, stuff happens Gnangbade (talk) 08:41, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

Bonjour

J'ai entendu parler de vous le week-end dernier lors de la Wikimedia Conference 2017 par Oliver Stegen. Je ne suis pas trop certaine de par "quel bout" commencer... mais je suis intéressée par votre activité au Togo. J'ai initié et anime régulièrement des projets en rapport avec l'Afrique (tel que c:commons:Wiki Loves Africa ou m:Wiki Loves Women ou m:wikifundi et... me demandait s'il vous intéresserait d'en savoir plus, voire de participer à ces projets. Par ailleurs, est-ce-qu'il y a des points sur lesquels vous auriez besoin d'aide ? Je ne suis pas certaine de pouvoir aider mais si je peux... ce sera avec plaisir. J'ai cru comprendre qu'il y avait un problème de sortie d'incubateur ? Sinon... quels sont les projets qui vous intéressent actuellement ? j'aimerais en savoir plus ;) Anthere (talk)

Bonjour Anthere Effectivement, Oliver Stegen m'a signalé votre intérêt. Oui, tout à fait, je m'intéresse vivement à vos projets sur l'Afrique et aimerait en savoir davantage. Je participe déjà à la réduction de la liste des thèmes africains qui sont absents du Wikipédia anglais. Pour ce qui est du Wikipédia kabiyè, je pense qu'on est finalement sur le point de sortir du gouffre après une (trop !) longue attente. Nous venons de traduire encore 130 des messages les plus fréquents, et on vient de m'informer que le Wikipédia kabiyè sera exporté le 25 mai - presque trois ans jour pour jour depuis le début du projet ! Dès lors, une question s'impose : pour le moment la participation extérieure au Wikipédia kabiyè est minime. Les très peu d'utilisateurs hors notre équipe qui ont essayé d'y mettre la main n'ont même pas une notion de ce que c'est une encyclopédie et font un peu du n'importe quoi. L'une de nos priorités, donc, est de pouvoir organiser deux Editathons, un à Lomé (la capitale du Togo) et l'autre à Kara (chef lieu du peuple kabiyè au nord du Togo) en 2018 ou 2019 pour susciter l'intérêt et former des éventuels utilisateurs. Est-ce que c'est le genre de chose que vous pouvez nous aider à faire ? On se sent néophytes : nous n'avons aucune idée comment ça fonctionne et surtout aucun financement. Mais le réseau professionnel y est pour savoir qui inviter à un tel évènement, ainsi qu'une forte dose de bonne volonté. Merci d'avoir pris l'initiative de nous contacter. A bientôt de vous relire Gnangbade (talk) 14:28, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

Merci d'avoir répondu ! Et contente de voir que les choses avancent. Normalement, l'argent nécessaire pour organiser deux édit-a-thons n'est pas très important et peut être récupéré dans le cadre des Rapid Grants. Je ne vois aucun souci à vous aider à faire la demande. Donnez moi une estimation très rapide du montant qui vous semble nécessaire. Peut-être une estimation rapide des différentes lignes budgétaires (typiquement, c'est location de la salle, boissons et snack, goodies; éventuellement accès internet et petits frais de déplacements etc.). Anthere (talk)

Merci pour la réponse rapide. C'est une bonne nouvelle de savoir que les Rapid Grants peuvent nous aider. Je peux préparer un budget, mais j'ai voudrais avoir quelques précisions d'abord. Un édit-a-thon dure normalement combien de jours ? Qui va l'animer / encadrer ? Est-ce qu'un 'expert' vient de l'étranger ou c'est à nous de nous débrouiller ? Quel est le contenu du programme ? Combien d'invités faut-il prévoir (j'ai pensé à une trentaine). Est-ce que chacun est censé venir avec son ordi ? Quelle précautions faut-il prendre dans un milieu où la connexion internet n'est pas toujours très fiable et où il y a souvent des délestages ? Y a-t-il une liste de préparatifs déjà rédigée pour nous guider ? Gnangbade (talk) 08:00, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

D'ailleurs quelle est la différence entre un edit-a-thon et un Wikimarathon? Gnangbade (talk) 19:04, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

References

Hello, I just classified your article Adiza Sanoussi, and have noticed that you appear to have a formatting issue with references. When citing the web, be sure to use the proper reference format Don't just paste the URLs into the page, as it makes the article look unprofessional. If you have any questions, just ask me on my talk page. Thank you. Happy editing. Firstclass306 (talk) 23:59, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice, but what do you means by "the proper reference format"? I don't understand the footnote you've provided. Gnangbade (talk) 07:52, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Ways to improve Tanougou Falls

Hi, I'm Boleyn. Gnangbade, thanks for creating Tanougou Falls!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Please help improve the referencing

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Boleyn (talk) 21:27, 9 July 2017 (UTC) Hi Boleyn (talk) thanks for your message. Actually, I'm unlikely to do anything more on this article having got the ball rolling because I exhausted all the web references I could find. But I do have a question: the article contains three statements each of them supported by a reference, so why has it been assessed as needing more? Gnangbade (talk) 17:21, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi Gnangbade, I think you're right, I've removed the tag. The tag is actually 'refimprove' but its wording does indicate additional souces being eneded. I think for a moderately notable geographical feature in Africa, the sources are what they are. Blogs aren't usually accepted as WP:RELIABLESOURCES and the others, as promoting tourism in the area, are to an extent WP:PRIMARYSOURCES. However, it is notable per WP:GEOLAND and there's not much better to get via the Net, so no real gain to having a tag. Thanks for your response, Boleyn (talk) 18:12, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi Boleyn (talk) thanks! Gnangbade (talk) 18:24, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

Rhumel River moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Rhumel River, does not have enough sources and citations 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) 09:42, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

OK, thanks Celestina007 I'm doing that now Gnangbade (talk) 11:14, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

Proposed deletion of St Paul de Notsé Interdiocesan Major Seminary

The article St Paul de Notsé Interdiocesan Major Seminary has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Can't find enough in-depth coverage 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.
