Proposal for contribution

I plan to combine this article with another article with Oduponkepehe; for, Kasoa and Oduponkepehe are synonymous names for a single town. Therefore, it is appropriate that they be represented by one article. In order to acknowledge both frequently used names, the new title of this article will be "Kasoa (Oduponkepehe)." Both of these articles have received Stub-Class ratings. In this newly combined article, I plan to improve the quality and quantity of information that the two previous articles provided. In the near future I will be contributing a significant amount of well cited sources and well organized information to this article. I will combine and strengthen the existing information from both pages and insure that any information provided in the article is from credible neutral sources. I plan to add multiple sections to give a more comprehensive overview of this rapidly growing city. I am planning to contribute to the existing sections (location, population and external links) and to add wholly new sections (politics, economy, and health). Please refer to my user page for a more detailed proposal. I welcome any recommendations regarding suggested subsections, suggestions for specific resources that may help me to portray the most neutral and comprehensive article possible, or any other relevant information I should consider. I am working on this article as part of a Rice University class assignment. However, my interest in Kasoa extends far beyond my course work. I will be spending three weeks there this summer and hope to continue to learn about the city and as I do so, I plan to continue to update this article.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Brookeethleen (talk) 00:24, 28 February 2014 (UTC) Brookeethleen (talk) 00:24, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Brookeethleen and welcome, I see, you're the second student from Rice University to touch on my watchlist and Wikiproject Ghana relatted article :-), nice. I totally agree with merging this two articles, I never knew Oduponkpehe existed as a separated Wikipedia article if I'd would have merged a while ago. Secondly Odunponkpehe was it's previous name (past), it is now know Kasoa officially hence I disagree with name Kasoa (Odupunkpehe). So I strongly recommend keeping Kasoa and making Oduponkpehe a redirect. Thanks and let me know if my help will be required. Regards. →Enock4seth ^(talk) 00:38, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Brookeethleen: I agree with Enock4seth - it would be best for the expanded article to be at Kasoa. I look forward to seeing the end result! Moswento ^talky 09:40, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
