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. If you are interested, please contact either Marilyn [marilyn.doualabelldoualart.org] for the WikiAfrica Cameroon call or Isla [islahfafricacentre.net] for the WikiAfrica position in Cape Town.

If you are not interested in applying, 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/

Best regards, Islahaddow

Simon-Ehrlich wager

I am not sure if I am at the right place, since "leave me a message at my talk page" seems to go nowhere. My citation for the observation that Jeremy Grantham's claim that the S-E bet would've turned out differently if conducted over a longer time frame was the inspection of the chart of metal prices already linked in the article. Go on - take a look. Grantham asserts that if the bet was over 1980 to 2010 (or 2011 - I forget) that Simon 'would've lost on four out of five metals:' observation suggests otherwise: all five of the metals were below their 1980 prices in 2011. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 154.5.55.155 (talk) 07:05, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
