re: User:151.204.41.4

Much as I'd like to, I can't block anyone: I'm not an admin. For someone vandalising after a final warning, you can report them at the please-block-this-**** page here. For anon IPs, particularly if they're from schools, only use this for ongoing vandalism. Cheers, Squiddy | (squirt ink?) 21:51, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. Will do. --Natsubee 21:55, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Suhum, Ghana

Hi! Once you wanted to expand this article, but there was a redirect there. Now there is a link to Suhum, Ghana at Sukhumi article --Üñţïf̣ļëŗ (see also:ә? Ә!) 20:21, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Razak and N'ti

I've never redicted those pages, I created both, if abdul is the correct spelling of his name and you moved the page there, I don't have any problems with that, although Abdoul Razak must still redirect to Abdul Razak, since many users may misspell the name while looking for the article.--BanRay 18:02, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Paul Boateng

Agreed. Trouble is, the IP doing the 'annoying thing' isn't stable enough to block and whilst I could set a semi-protect on there that would block any IP-only edits (which, you never know, might not be vandalism one day!). I'll keep an eye on it though too, especially as I used to know Paul very many years ago (his sister was in my year at school, etc). --AlisonW 12:18, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Your response appreciated.--Natsubee 12:22, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

No content in Category:Upper East Region

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:Upper East Region, by 84.66.17.239, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:Upper East Region has been empty for at least four days, and its only content has been links to parent categories. (CSD C1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:Upper East Region, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Category:Upper East Region itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. Thanks. --Android Mouse Bot 2 22:19, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Biography Summer 2007 Assessment Drive

WikiProject Biography Summer 2007 Assessment Drive!

WikiProject Biography is holding a three month long assessment drive!
The goal of this drive is to eliminate the backlog of unassessed articles. The drive is running from June 1, 2007 – September 1, 2007.

Awards to be won range from delicacies such as the WikiCookie to the great Golden Wiki Award.
There are over 110,000 articles to assess so please visit the drive's page and help out!

This drive was conceived of and organized by Psychless with the help of Ozgod. Regards, Psychless ^{Type words!}.

Sorry about that

I guess I forgot one warning. It will be added into that paragraph, and thanks for reminding me of that. --Psychless ^{Type words!} 15:37, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Bild:GhanaMarine2005.png

How do I get this picture from the German Wikipedia to English Wikipedia? I need it for the article Ghana Navy which I have just written. Thanks.--Natsubee 13:51, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

I think I have it sorted. --Natsubee 14:29, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Law enforcement in Ghana

This sudden page move caught me by surprise. It is solely about the position of the Inspector General of Police in Ghana. Why the move? Wouldn't a new article be more appropriate? Or wouldn't placing it in a law enforcement type category have been sufficient? What does the article say generally about law enforcement in Ghana? As the article stands now, the heading to me is inappropriate.--Natsubee 09:31, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for writing, I hope this will help explain.

1. It's a matter of putting the cart before the horse. Many of the articles on African topics are written ex nihilo, they would maybe make sense to someone right on the ground there, but seem to spring out of nothing and don't help readers on the other side of the planet. It would be like having a list of the mayors of Accra, with no article on Accra or its significance. If one was a student (many of our users are), one might think Accra was an animal, or a musical instrument, or a planet. There needs to be a foundation before such lists are stand-alone.
2. Just the list as it is provides no context, this is a step towards expansion into a proper article with a natural beginning and follow-through.
3. Wikipedia's instructions do say to "be bold", and in this case, there being no parent article, this is a natural to become the one from which others spring as need be.
4. There is an existing and expanding series national articles on "Law enforcement in x country", there is not one on the Inspector General of Police. For someone who _wants_ to find specifically about Ghana, having it uniformly named and categorized with others makes it easier to find and gives the information better exposure.
5. You have done a great deal of work and research, and I want to help you keep it; the article does not describe why "the most senior Police Officer in Ghana" is important by itself, and Wikipedia is starting to delete things some users see and tag as non-notable.
6. I'm just trying to help get the African articles in better condition, I don't want it to lag behind other parts of the world. The USA gets plenty of coverage. Let's make the Ghanaian articles something people really want to know about.

I hope this helps. Thanks again, and going to bed, Chris 10:28, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

ps, if you really do object, we can move it back. Chris 10:33, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Note:The continuation of this discussion has been moved to the talk page of Law enforcement in Ghana.--Natsubee 11:07, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

RE: Law enforcement in Ghana topic

Hi, thanks for pointing that mistake out to me! It was 'Start' instead of 'Stub'. I probably rated about 50 million articles and 'lost interest' so I wasn't paying as much attention! But i will be in future! Regards Dep. Garcia ( Talk + | Help Desk | Complaints ) 15:08, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

re: What next with User:Legend27?

This user, despite warnings for deletions and vandalism, has been at it again with series of edits on 2 consecutive days to the Stephen Appiah article. The first lot on July 23 were totally unfounded and based on speculation. The second on July 24, was just vandalism. A look at all this users contributions show a trail of vandalism since edits started on July 11. Nothing constructive has ever come from this user. Every single one of his edits have been followed by reversions. This user has already received a final warning from someone else so I thought I should leave this case to you. Please help sort it out. Thanks for your cooperation.--Natsubee 12:32, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Looks like he has a few constructive edits--adding player numbers to football articles, assuming he's not making them up. If he vandalizes again, give him another warning. Start with {{uw-test3}}, then give {{uw-test4}}. If he vandalizes after that, report to WP:AIV, or if you see I'm online, drop me a line. I know it's frustrating to have to give further warnings, but a block should always be preventative, not punitive. Cheers, and thanks for defending the wiki from vandals!

Nkwanta South (Ghana parliament constituency)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Nkwanta South (Ghana parliament constituency), and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Nkwanta North (Ghana parliament constituency). 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.

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 12:54, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

I have crosschecked and CorenSearchBot was in error.--Natsubee 13:04, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Many things have gone on during the past few months, but many things have not. While the assessment drive helped revitalize the assessment department of the project, many other departments have received no attention. Most notably: peer review and our "workgroups". A day long IRC meeting has been planned for October 13th, with the major focus being which areas of the project are "dead", what should our goals be as a project, and how to "revive" the dead areas of our project. Contribute to the discussion on the the new channel (see below) We decided to deliver this newsletter to all project members this month but only those with their names down here will get it delivered in the future. This is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue. Any and all contributions are welcome.
