Help re-evaluate/re-assess the Efik mythology page

Hi everyone, i recently contributed over 4,000 words (maybe more) on the Efik mythology page. I would really appreciate if the page could be re-evaluated.

Help evaluate article on Gabon Talapoin

Hi I'm a university student editing an article on the Gabon Talapoin and I would appreciate it if anyone could take a look at the article in a few weeks time. Thank you! NoEsPu102 (talk) 07:02, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. Just drop a notice when you're ready. Pliny the Elderberry (talk) 19:08, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! The article has just been expanded and any feedback or ideas would be appreciated. I will continue to work on it in the meantime. :) NoEsPu102 (talk) 09:33, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Subcategories for Category:African-American culture?

Edit warring in Eastern Security Network

There's been a bunch of POV edit warring to Eastern Security Network by new users in the past few days. I'm not nearly qualified enough to clean up the mess, or even figure out if there's a change I should revert to, or if any of the new material is worthwhile; it would be great if someone here who has a better idea of the issues could clean up.

For the interested

I created Africa Food Prize, feel free to improve. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 11:06, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Drafts for Review

Three drafts, Draft:History of East Africa, Draft:History of Central Africa, and Draft:History of Southern Africa, have been submitted to Articles for Creation for review. Your comments are invited. All of them are essentially outlines, consisting largely of links to main articles. The question is whether to accept them into article space. If they are thought to be useful but to need work, they can be accepted, where they will have more attention than in draft space. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:38, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The drafts have been declined with comments by User:Zoozaz1. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:52, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The drafts have been resubmitted, and need to be commented on here. Robert McClenon (talk) 13:03, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

African literature

Please could someone take a look at African literature? Some recent good-faith recent edits might look even better when wikified. Thanks, Certes (talk) 13:44, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What do Ethiopians call the Second Italo-Ethiopian War?

The current version of the article Second Italo-Ethiopian War goes out of its way to present the Italian colloquial name for the conflict. I would like to balance this by providing the Ethiopian name as well but cannot find a source. Can anyone here inform me, and possibly suggest a source (in any language)? For context, see the discussion at Talk:Second Italo-Ethiopian War. Many thanks, Generalrelative (talk) 16:50, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment/Evaluation on 'Music of West Africa'

Hi everyone, I've recently added 1000 words or so to Music of West Africa, could I enlist my fellow WikiProject Africa members to please assess it/provide some feedback if time permits - now that it's not a stub and has more citations? I am planning on adding around another 1000 words, and a big focus throughout this process will be expanding the scope and balance of the page. Thanks! Coop253 (talk) 13:29, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Are these articles about different things?

Hello, my geography is terrible. I suspect, but I'm not sure, that these articles refer to the same place/concept - can anyone confirm?

Thanks. Popcornfud (talk) 17:13, 11 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

They are different things – one is a parliamentary constituency and another is a local government district. The two are often contiguous, particularly in countries that use proportional representation, but are not the same things. Number 57 18:05, 11 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Number 57, thanks. Added to the Jomoro disambiguation page. Popcornfud (talk) 20:29, 11 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Major revision at History of architecture

Hello, there is a major revision going on on the page History of architecture and we need your help, the main contributor is very knowledgeable on the topic, but seems to lack a background in the African front and that is starting to be reflected on the African section which, for me, sounds a bit condescending. Do you mind checking the page and giving your feedback so that we can cover all bases? @Heesxiisolehh: @إيان: @Dhtwiki: Herrikez (talk) 17:53, 11 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Community Notification: Free Knowledge Africa/Movement Strategy Implementation Plan

Dear all,

I wish to inform Wikiproject Africa of the proposed Free Knowledge Africa/Movement Strategy Implementation Plan; the project seeks to research and document in relation to content initiatives in underrepresented communities. There exists a huge gap about African destinations and travel information on Wikipedia and Wikivoyage without any significant attempt at carrying out a complete overhaul and improvement. The proposal seeks to develop an implementation plan. See the details of the project by using the link to the grant: [1] If you would love to join and participate, please feel free to leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.
