Looking through the articles and the newly created ones, its amazing the
amount rberchie creates.
Under who's auspices? I think it's up to any/all of us to come up with the
insights.
In terms of editing, the community is unwinding. I guess there are peak
times for everyone in terms of editing. But currently, Raphael nails it so
well and I'm impressed. The rest of us, where are we?
Perhaps less talking and less mentoring might not be necessary. What is
important is upping our edits across board of the members whiles we keep
inviting many out there to contribute to wikipedia. One never knows who was
born a Wikipedian out there.
I think we also need to reform who we target in terms of looking for long
term editors. Who are likely to be long term editors? University Graduates
like Raphael, Researchers like yourself? What even motivates someone to
edit? Who and where should be our target audience?
And from the look of the stats from the new articles creation, is there any
contributor from within the list that's a recruit from a recent program in
the last year or two?
Remember we even talked of a survey to know what really keeps editors
editing? Perhaps that can also give us more insight.

Hello guys,
New tool out: Most popular Ghana-related pages
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Ghana/Popular_pages>
Mr.Z-bot is now able to rank the most popular pages by number of views
(per month) that fall in the scope of WikiProject Ghana. Some might be
surprise as to how some of our articles have turned out. See Dumsor at #36
and Haruna Iddrisu all the way down to #940.
Thinking aloud!
Meanwhile these are essential information we can mine to understand what
people are actually searching for on Wikipedia about Ghana, who are
improving/creating those content and how to improve the high impact pages.
For example the New articles
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Africa-related_regional_notice_board/New_articles/Ghana?redirect=no>
tool
I presented the last time suggests that the combined efforts of the entire
Usergroup is nowhere near the amount of new content [[User:Rberchie]]
creates in a week. At the moment I don't know under who’s auspices it is to
evaluate such insights? and come out with recommendations so we can move
forward. Its no secret that the community is gradually unwinding and IMO I
think this is quite appalling.
We really need to sit up, maybe less talk, less mentoring and more editing
on our part can turn things around.

New articles
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Africa-related_regional_notice_board/New_articles/Ghana?redirect=no>
We now have a bot that automatically discovers newly created cat:Ghana
articles.
catscan2 went down some months ago.
Maybe this might be useful to someone here too?
