Welcome!

First, the boilerplate:

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my Talk page (below). Again, welcome!

Nice work on Railway line of Dakar-Niger; African topics tend to be much too neglected on Wikipedia. Good job linking the other articles up to it, too; I'll link up a few more things and set up some Redirects to the article as well. (You can click "What links here" if you want to see what gets added)

If you're interested in writing more about the region, you may want to check out Wikipedia:WikiProject Countering systemic bias or Wikipedia:List of missing Africa topics, though neither of these lists is anywhere near complete. Wikipedia:Wikiportal/Africa also has Wikipedia Africa news and a Colloboration of the Week.

Good luck, and happy editing! Drop a line for anything you might need, --Dvyost 16:17, 24 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

PS I've nominated your article on Template talk:Did you know for possible inclusion on the front page; this is a great way to showcase a new article. Unfortunately there a lot of noms this weekend, but we'll see if it gets lucky...--Dvyost 16:43, 24 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I've also moved the article to Dakar-Niger Railway, which I think is a more standard Wikipedia usage (as per Category:Railway lines, e.g. Hejaz railway, Hell Valley Railway). The redirects are in place for everything to work as before. Cheers, --Dvyost 17:18, 24 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Just realized the link above wasn't right and fixed it. Apologies!

Thanks!

Hey RaF, nice work in putting up another Malian article! I'm sure you've noticed they're few and far between. I wanted to let you know that I've moved it to Salif Keita (footballer) to keep it consistent with other football articles (see, for instance, John Anderson (footballer)) on wikipedia. A good way to name articles is to look at how people have labelled other articles in the same category; Wikipedian naming conventions are sometimes consistent, sometimes not, but if you can find a pattern it's generally best to follow it.

Anyway, I just wanted to warn you in case you were surprised to find it shifted. Again, good job, and I'll look forward to seeing more of your stuff! --Dvyost 17:03, 25 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

DYK

Updated DYK query Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Dakar-Niger Railway, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently-created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Hi RaF,

Glad to be of help on this article. Interesting to work on as I knew nothing about this person previously. Valiantis 18:44, 10 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

VWN en WCN

Beste RaF,

Al enige tijd is er een Nederlandstalig chapter in oprichting, te vinden op http://nl.wikimedia.org . Dit wordt de Vereniging Wikimedia Nederland (VWN). Je kunt je interesse om lid te worden van deze vereniging hier aangeven.

Deze vereniging gaat eind augustus/begin september een Wikimedia Conferentie in Nederland (WCN) houden, volgend op Wikimania in Boston, gedeeltelijk erop inspelend middels een aantal discussiegroepen. Om iets dergelijks te organiseren is imput erg gewenst. Dus als je wilt meehelpen, of als je interesse hebt om bij een dergelijk evenement aanwezig te zijn, geef dat dan aan op nl.wikimedia. Ik hoop daar snel je imput tegemoet te zien! Met vriendelijke groet, effeietsanders 21:16, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
