Greetings!
Apologies for cross-posting. This is to introduce a new Wikimedia project called "The
AfroCine Project".[1] This new project is dedicated to improving the coverage of the
history, works, people, places, events, etc, that are associated with the cinema, theatre
and arts of Africa, African countries, the Caribbean, and the diaspora. If you would love
to be part of this (or you're already active in this area), by coordinating local
programmes around African cinema (independently or otherwise) in your community or local
Wiki, kindly list your username or organization as a participant on the meta project page
cited above.
Furthermore, In the months of October and November, we are organizing a global contest and
edit-a-thon tagged: "The Months of African Cinema".[2] If you would love to join
this exciting event, also list your username as a participant on the English Wikipedia
contest page. If you would love to lead this contest (or any other relevant program) for a
non-English Wikipedia community, please feel free to translate the English Wikiproject
page to your local language Wikipedia, or you can create one from scratch!
If you have any questions, complaints, suggestions, etc., please reach out to me
personally or right here on the mailing list or the project talkpages.
Thank you!
Sam Oyeyele.
