Nenzit Wikimedians User Group
[edit]Date: 15 December 2024
To: Wikimedia Affiliates and the Global Wikimedia Community
Dear Wikimedia Affiliates and Community Members,
We are excited to announce our intent to form the Nenzit Wikimedians User Group, a new Wikimedia User Group with a focus on expanding Wikimedia outreach to Platoid languages spread across Central (Middle Belt) Nigeria and Northwest Cameroon. This user group aims to promote Wikimedia projects, i.e., contribute to, preserve, and expand free knowledge around the Nenzit region.
- Mission
- Our mission is to create and sustain Wikimedia projects in Platoid languages and promote free knowledge in the Nenzit region through awareness, content creation, and community engagement. We are committed to supporting the Wikimedia movement by organizing activities like in-person and offline events, workshops, edit-a-thons, content creation, and collaborations.
- Focus Area
- Our group will primarily focus on Platoid languages also known as "Central Nigeria" languages, spoken by the Nenzit peoples. Specifically, we will engage with the following:
- Themes: language, culture, geography, history.
- Geographical Region: We are based in Central Nigeria, Northwest Cameroon, and Alibori and Borgu departments of the Republic of Benin and plan to extend our activities within this area, fostering connections with local communities and institutions.
- Current Location and Regional Activities
- Our group is currently located in Kafanchan, Nigeria, and we aim to collaborate with local affiliates and communities across the Nenzit region to ensure widespread participation and representation in our activities. We plan to collaborate with language departments teaching any of these languages and language development boards to foster collaborations, as well as participate in conferences organized by Wikimedia, its affiliates, individuals, and other bodies, with common goals and improve Wikimedia presence across the region.
- Call for Collaboration
- We welcome collaboration and support from other affiliates and individuals across the Wikimedia movement. We believe that working together with other user groups and affiliates will enhance our efforts and strengthen the global Wikimedia ecosystem.
If you would like to learn more about our user group, share feedback, or explore opportunities to collaborate, feel free to contact us on our talk page. We look forward to contributing to the Wikimedia movement and making a meaningful impact through our activities.
Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Kambai (for the proposed Nenzit Wikimedians UG) -- Kambai Akau (talk) 16:08, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
