The SheSaid initiative is driven by Wiki In Africa, Which is a part of the Wiki Loves Women (WLW) project. The #shesaid campaign aims to celebrate and recognize inspirational women throughout Africa by focusing on generating, translating, and improving their presence on Igbo Wikiquote. Through this effort, the WLW initiative advocates for the enrichment and creation of Wikiquote content. The Igbo community actively encourages its members to participate by making contributions to Igbo Wikiquote during the campaign's duration. The SheSaid initiative stands as a noteworthy project that not only celebrates and recognizes women but also actively works towards enriching digital content and promoting diversity and inclusion within the Wikimedia ecosystem.

The 2022 Igbo community's #Shesaid drive, which was for two weeks, engaged both new and existing participants. After the contest, contributors successfully created a total of 472 new Igbo Wikiquote entries. Looking ahead, the hope is that the 2023 edition will attract and train even more editors, fostering continued growth and participation in this impactful initiative.

10 steps to facilitate smooth translation on Igbo Wikiquote

Note: Remember to publish changes to save edits

  1. Click on the name you wish to translate from the provided list.
  2. Verify that the entry is not already available in Igbo, either by checking the 'language tab' or searching on Igbo Wikiquote to confirm its absence.
  3. If the entry is non-existent, click on the red name. Add the {{databox}} template in the provided text box.
  4. Copy the description or lead from the English entry, translate it, and then edit and paste it into the Igbo Wikiquote text box.
  5. Link the name in the description to the Igbo Wikipedia article.
  6. Introduce a heading (Okwu okwuru) and proceed to add quotes in a bulleted list.
  7. Place references under the quotes in an indented format.
  8. After translating and adding all quotes, include a heading (Njikọ mpụga). Under this heading, add templates: {{wikipedia}}, {{commonscat}}, {{DEFAULTSORT: surname, other names}} and the category [[Category:Ụmụ nwanyị]]. (see recording/video for proper guidance)
  9. From the English Wikiquotes entry, click on "add languages," then select 'edit interlanguage links,' and add the sitelink on Wikidata under Wikiquote. (see recording/video). If you are using the Vector legacy skin, click on the languages at the left panel, add igwikiquote as the language, then the page name, then link
  10. Lastly, review the Wikiquote translation to ensure readability and correctness, correcting any errors as needed.
