Plan
[edit]Activities
[edit]- Contents creation: I'm a prolific contents creation on the English language Wikipedia and I focus my contents creation on Nigeria-related topics of encyclopedic importance. As at 14th November, 2015 I had created 532 articles (on average of 35 articles per month) without a set target. I will create at least 50 articles in a month on the Yoruba language Wikipedia with the set target. I will create at least 2 articles per day.
- Existing articles improvement: I will improve at least one article per day, which simply suggest that I will improve at least 50 existing articles within 2 months.
- I will create 1 WikiProject per month
- I will add at least 50 images of yoruba culture, fashion and adornments to the project. This image will be taken from Lagos and Ogun State which are Yoruba speaking states.

- This is a great step towards the improvement of local contents to Wikipedia. Yoruba Wikipedia is suffering from active contributors. This is a great and I think it's a step that all Nigerians Wikipedia should emulate. Olaniyan Olushola (talk) 21:31, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
