A tag has been placed on Air Uganda, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Speedy deletion of "Royal Daisy Airlines"

A page you created, Royal Daisy Airlines, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how it is important or significant, and thus why it should be included in an encyclopedia. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and the guidelines for companies in particular.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Thanks. Thingg^⊕⊗ 14:46, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

links etc

Hallo, I've just come across a couple of articles you've edited. Could I point out a few tips for editing?

• The first section of an article shouldn't have a heading like "description", it just comes as the first,or "lead" section, and appears above the table of contents.
• To get the article name in bold in the first line, use bold formatting '''like this''' rather than making it into a link back to the article
• There's no point in making a link from the abbreviation for the article subject - it usually goes to a disambiguation page, no use at all to the reader.
• When you're adding things to disambiguation pages, remember to read the editing notes for dab pages - there should not be any extra blue links in the entry, just the one for the article being disambiguated
• In the text of an article, don't link to any article more than once from any one section of an article (eg if "Uganda" or "commercial bank" comes up several times in a section, link the first one only)
• Don't link words like "Act" which aren't going to help the reader understand more about your subject.
• There's no point in having a disambiguation page no-one is going to find, like SLAU (disambiguation). Instead, I've put a "hatnote" on the article at Slau and one at the university article, so anyone who types Slau or SLAU will get offered both articles. The dab page isn't really needed.

I hope that's useful for your future editing! Welcome to Wikipedia - I see you've been here a while but no-one's done the full welcome so I'll do it now. PamD (talk) 22:47, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

PamD,

Thank you for the corrections and suggestions.Fsmatovu (talk) 23:09, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Another little thing: if you're adding a contribution to a talk page, give it a new section heading - either by typing it ==Like this== or by clicking on the "new section" or "+" tab at the top of the page. It just makes it easier for people to find their way around talk pages, as these headings get picked up in the table of contents of the talk page. Best wishes, PamD (talk) 23:13, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

And what I should have made clearer in that last remark: if you're continuing a discussion, precede your comment by ":" to indent it one level, "::" for two levels, etc - or "*" for a bullet point, "**" for an indented bullet, etc - then the conversation stays together and is easier to read. Best wishes, PamD (talk) 06:50, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Welcome

Hi! Great to see we have somebody from Uganda on here and keen on improving our coverage of Uganda on here. Thanks for your contributions!Glad to have you on board! Ideally we need several hundred people like you from every country in Africa working towards improving the rather poor coverage of this part of the world on here! I've started a few stubs on politicians from your Cabinet of Uganda, if you could expand them this would be great. Regards. Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 15:37, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

I see! Well in the UK we do have a Dr. Hilary Jones so...! Glad to have you on board with the Uganda wiki project. If you ever want to talk about something give me a bell. I noticed that you started a few articles on hydroelectric plants. If I have time I will expand one of them into a Wikipedia:DYK cool? Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 14:08, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Kalagi, The Gambia

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Kalagi, The Gambia, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Kalagi. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally moving or duplicating content, please be sure you have followed the procedure at Wikipedia:Splitting by acknowledging the duplication of material in edit summary to preserve attribution history.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 20:52, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Union Commercial Bank

A tag has been placed on Union Commercial Bank requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

African banks

Hi I doubt you know but I have created economcy templates for the African countries at Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/Economy templates. If you could also add banks in your lists to the relative templates this would be great. Keep up the good work. I've done Template:Economy of Mauritania as an example. P.S ignore the annoying deletion warnings, you're doing great. Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 21:54, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Index of Rwanda-related articles

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Index of Rwanda-related articles, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Redundant to Category:Rwanda.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

A tag has been placed on Aya Group requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia.

Category:Kiruhura

I see that you created this category and later blanked the page. A faster way to delete a category you've created yourself is to place {{db-author}} on the page. This tag attracts the attention of an administrator who can perform the deletion for you. Contact me if you have questions about this. Best regards, --Stepheng3 (talk) 21:58, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Edward Ssekandi

A tag has been placed on Edward Ssekandi, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing no content to the reader. Please note that external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article don't count as content. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.

Barnstar

		The Ugandan Award
		For your excellent work on Ugandan towns and economic related articles. You are undoubtedly one of the most valuable wikipedians on here in terms of addressing uneven bias and improving coverage of a country like Uganda which otherwise would remain ignorantly basic in terms of coverage on here. We need several hundred editors like you working onother countries in Africa, I hope over time more people will get online in Africa... Your work is more appreciated than you might think... Keep up the great work! May we soon have a decent starter articles on all the places in Uganda! Himalayan 22:19, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome. Yes one thing though, echoing what was said below, best not to predict populatio, especially as far as 2012. 2009 estimate is fine but anything after isn't. Keep up the good work! Himalayan 10:04, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Very nice work on Namilyango. One thing can you please make very clear whether it is a town or a hill or both. You say is a hill but then the article and category reads as a town. Do you mean to say a town and hill? please clarify, thankyou. Himalayan 21:48, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

population projections

Hi, thanks for all your work on Ugandan towns but I'm a little concerned about the population projection tables that you've added. It assumed continuous growth, which may not be a reasonable assumption. For example, for Kitgum, I assume some of the increase from the 2002 figure to 2008 figure is a re-consolidation of refugees fleeing the countryside after the renewed fighting of Operation Iron Fist. More worryingly, the recent "decongestion" of the IDP camps near towns would appear to suggest either a substantially lower growth rate or even negative growth rate in the past two years. While this holds true mostly for the northern towns, I think it's generally just questionable practice to mechanically extrapolate into the future using just two points of data, regardless of the local circumstances. I will likely start removing these tables and extrapolations in a few days, unless you have some compelling reason not to. I would ask that you refrain from adding these population extrapolations to articles in the future. Thanks, BanyanTree 02:34, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Translation of a short story

Hi! So, you speak Luganda. I hope, you could help me. I'm a Hungarain wikipedian, my name is Norbert Kiss. I wrote a really short story and now I have 121 translations about it, but only two are from the real Africa. Could you make me a Luganda version? The English version is here:

Myself

Ancient are my people to whom I belong, we are ancient ones, on this whole world. I speak an ancient language, the language of my own. I live in an ancient land, I’ve never lived elsewhere, and I belong here. This is me, myself. I am alone in the big world. I am alone, my nation passed away a long time ago, only I stayed. I speak my ancient language alone.

I am wandering on the road called life, I eat my bread and I drink my water alone. It is me who writes my books and I am the one who reads them. I climb the mountains behind my house; me I get the fish from the river which is in front of my house. Every day I go up to the hills to think and to meditate alone, only me on my own. While I was away, I have seen other people; some of them came to my land. I was good to them. I gave them food and drink, they could rest in my houses.

And now... strangers tell me, when they come here, what I should do, what I’m allowed to do. But here I am the landlord, I am the owner, I am the one who is at home. This is my ancient home, where my fathers and their fathers lived. This is my home, my land; I live here on my own.

I hope, you could help me. --Eino81 (talk) 10:03, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Districts

HI, good to see you are still doing well. I was wondering if you could copy and paste the infobox in Wakiso District and add one to all of the other districts and add the relevant details. I think we can replace the old red maps to with the ones in the example given, they look of a higher quality. Himalayan 23:21, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi. I've decided to draw up some templates by district at Wikipedia:WikiProject Uganda/District templates. See Template:Kalangala District. The idea will be to eventually have a detailed guide by each district connecting all articles within it on counties/towns and villages, notable landmarks geo features. economy companies, schools, notable people etc. If you like the ide and format please let me know. Specifically are ther elikely to be articles on counties/sub counties and parishes and villages emerging or what? Please let me know if you ar ehappy with the columns or suggest something I can do to improve them and I will create all the templates for you ready to fill if so given that much of your work is geared to improving content by district anyway... If you understand how the templates work, then you can add whatever content to them you think notable by district.. Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 20:52, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Judging by the administrative structure in Uganda it seems I have constructed a fairly good basic template for you to build upon. I've started Template:Luwero District as an example added a few landmarks. Basically just cram in as many notable articles blue or red linked to each one as possible. If you are happy with the idea I'll create all the templates tomorrow empty ready for filling. I'm certian it would also help organize things for you. We also need to be listing the missing county/sub-county and parish articles at least and at somedate all of the villages... Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 21:47, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Please communicate thanks. Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 17:29, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi. Well admittedly I get quite frustrated when governments keep changing their districts all the time. It messes everything up from an encyclopedia point of view and means having to redraw everything. The idea is that you add all of the missing counties and sub counties/parishes to the templates by district and any towns or villages which you think should have an article and any topic you think should have an article. If you'd like me to go ahead and create empty templates ready for filling let me know but gradually I want these templates brought into the mainspace at the foot of articles...
