Wikipedia talk:Wiki Loves Nigeria/Writing Contest

Article or talk page?

May I suggest that the category is added to the talk pate rather than the article?

All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 14:08, 23 January 2016 (UTC).

Thanks for your advise, RF. Do you mean, it will be better to have the category on the article's talk page rather than the article? Let me know what will work best. Warm regards. Wikic¤l¤gy^{t@lk to M£} 14:15, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

Yes indeed. You might even want to make a little template box, which includes the category. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 23:28, 23 January 2016 (UTC).

please can you help with the creation of this template box? Thanks, RF. Wikic¤l¤gy^{t@lk to M£} 01:16, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Category

The category associated with this contest (Category:Wiki Loves Nigeria Writing Contest) is inappropriate on article pages, as it violates MOS:SELFREF. At the very least, this category should be limited to talk pages. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 13:30, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks Dan. I will fix it. Amunique (talk) 10:44, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Could you please mention this at the front page of this contest? I stumbled on this information here just by chance. --Gereon K. (talk) 21:59, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Clean up

I think there are lots of Nigeria related articles that needs to be expanded or reviewed to check for vandalism and NPOV issues. I do create articles but noticed that some articles need expansion or to be reviewed for accuracy. Alexplaugh12^talk

What do you suggest? Wikic¤l¤gy^{t@lk to M£} 15:24, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

if you go to the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Nigeria assessment matrix, you can pick your choice of stub article to improve, only 2147 of them. Duckduckstop (talk) 18:34, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

I have that in mind. After this contest, I will take a closer look. Wikic¤l¤gy^{t@lk to M£} 07:11, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

The competition ended on 29 February 2016. Will there be a result? --Gereon K. (talk) 09:46, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

Yes, Gereon. The Jury are still working on it. See Wikipedia:Wiki Loves Nigeria/Writing Contest/Jury discussion. Cheers. Wikic¤l¤gy^{t@lk to M£} 12:50, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi Victuallers and everyone else. The results were posted a few weeks ago. See Wikipedia:Wiki Loves Nigeria/Writing Contest/Result. Sydney Poore/FloNight♥♥♥♥ 15:41, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

Wow ..... thanks .... I'm surprised its such a secret. Has this been posted anywhere? Victuallers (talk) 16:08, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

I can check with the contest organizers about their plans. Sydney Poore/FloNight♥♥♥♥ 19:20, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

Dear@Victuallers:thank you for your concern on the release of the result for this contest. Kindly note that the contest wasn't a secret at all, if not we wont go through the rigor of engaging a third party to review the whole process. Meanwhile, kindly note that the organisers have their time table of when they will contact each winner and we will do that as soon as we finalise all the modalties involved. In the meantime, do receive our congratulations. Olaniyan Olushola (talk) 19:33, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

Thx .... it does feel odd... but I will be patient (3rd party??) I thought the recognition had gone elsewhere and I was only checking out of curiosity Victuallers (talk) 21:44, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
