Hello. Please, don't spam/vandalise here. This is an encyclopedia for people living in Malawi; it is not a "second Dutch Wikipedia". Regards,--Midnight Green 13:54, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

How can you call that spam? It's correct Chichewa, the information is correct.. it's a stub - yes - but it certainly has encyclopedic value. Grashoofd 19:15, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

And what about articles like Msikitzi? THAT's speedy deletion worthy. Grashoofd 19:17, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

In hasn't encyclopedic value for potential readers of Ny-wiki. No interwiki, no notable information (only this boilerplate text)... In the end, who will read it? This is a real spam... If you very like geography you may create pages about pop. places of Malawi or Zambia... countries where Chichewa live.--Midnight Green 00:23, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

WikiIndaba and Wikipedian in Residence Notice

Dear Grashoofd,

As a Wikipedian interested in African subjects and specifically Malawi, I would like you to be aware of the following two opportunities:

1. Wikimedia South Africa and WikiAfrica are organising an WikiIndaba for February 2014 – a continental meeting for Africa-based Wikipedians to get together, discuss challenges and drive the agenda for Wikipedia from Africa. If you support this initiative, then please sign up on this site: http://wikiindaba.net – we also want to hear what you want the Wiki Indaba to achieve. What are your expectations? What does it need to include? Who and what do you want to see happen at WikiIndaba? What is your area of interest? Languages? Data? Please share your ideas and thoughts on the Community Portal

2. WikiAfrica is looking for a Wikipedian in Residence from Malawi. This might be a position that you would consider. Or it could be the perfect opportunity for someone you know from Malawi, please spread the word! For more details, please look at this page: http://www.wikiafrica.net/wikipedian-in-residence-malawi

If you have any questions about either of the above, please contact isla on isla [at] wikiafrica [dot] net : Isla Haddow (talk)
