errors in your pages on Otuke District, Uganda
There are multiple errors in the Wikipedia page on Otuke District, including antiquated colonial-era place-names which have not been used for many decades, and the page (and all mention of) 'Otuke Town'- which does not exist. These pages do not permit any edits to the first section of each, which contain the spurious references to 'Otuke Town'. If I am posting this message in the wrong place, please advise. Thanks ````

This wiki article needs a major overhaul
Anybody that is interested I think Stereotypes of Africa could do with a major rewrite. Dwanyewest (talk) 21:38, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
Update to peer review page
Hi all, I've boldly updated your project's peer review page (Wikipedia:Africa-related regional notice board/Peer review) by updating the instructions and archiving old reviews.
The new instructions use Wikipedia's general peer review process (WP:PR) to list peer reviews. Your project's reviews are still able to be listed on your local page too.
The benefits of this change is that review requests will get seen by a wider audience and are likely to be attended to in a more timely way (many WikiProject peer reviews remain unanswered after years). The Wikipedia peer review process is also more maintained than most WikiProjects, and this may help save time for your active members.
I've done this boldly as it seems your peer review page is pretty inactive and I am working through around 90 such similar peer review pages. Please feel free to discuss below - please ping me ({{u|Tom (LT)}}) in your response.
Cheers and hope you are well, Tom (LT) (talk) 00:33, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

Eritrean/Ethiopian Ethnicities - Tigrinyas vs Tigrayans
Howdy folks. Is anybody knowledgeable enough about Eritrea to double check this diff? I am a pending changes reviewer and I reverted it once before because of 1) talk page controversy and 2) the edit damages the Tigrayan script that was on the page (ብሄረ ትግራይ). But I am not really knowledgeable in this area so I hesitate to revert again. Thanks. –Novem Linguae (talk) 18:00, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
Nigerian women's football / soccer initiative (WP:WOSO-NG)
Hello! We recently started an initiative WP:WOSO-NG to improve articles related to Women's football / soccer in Nigeria. Please consider joining! Any contributions are appreciated. We could also use extra eyes on articles nominated for deletion within this topic. Thank you!

Thank you for your contributions to women's football/soccer articles. I thought I'd let you know about the Women's Football/Soccer Task Force (WP:WOSO), a collaborative effort to improve Wikipedia's coverage of women's football/soccer. If you would like to participate, join by visiting the Members page. Thanks! |

Hospitals
The Wikipedia:WikiProject Hospitals has just completed the List of hospitals in .... for each of the African countries on the English Wikipedia. These lists contain notable hospitals and links to existing hospital articles in WikiPedia. This is the last of the continents to be completed for the Hospitals Project. We have used existing articles on other language Wikipedias and Wiki Commons images to complete this work. There are still some shortcomings in completeness and images of hospitals in some countries. We look forward to any feedback and assistance that the WikiProject Africa participants might give.

Edward Thaddeus Barleycorn Barber
I just removed an entire section of this biography because it had no sources at all and I was unable to confirm any of the facts in it online. Specifically, it concerned his career as a doctor in Aba, Nigeria after receiving a medical degree in Edinburgh. If anyone could source any of it, I would be very pleased to see it restored. (There is apparently a 2010 book of African biographies that includes a chapter on him, but since it appears to consist of reprints of Wikipedia articles, that's not a source.)
