Facebook page
[gyara masomin]Dear Mohammed,
Thanks a lot for your contributions. Just to mention that I have just created a Facebook page regarding the Hausa Wikipedia, in order to get more interest from Hausa-speaking people: you're welcome if you want to like it or share it with your friends: Hausa Wikipedia
Thanks a lot, Kind regards, --DonCamillo (talk) 11:10, 5 Maris 2018 (UTC)
OK! thanks so much DonCamillo and I'll follow the page and share it. The Living love talk 17:23, 12 Maris 2018 (UTC)
Manzo
[gyara masomin]Dear Mohammed,
I'm trying to connect the page "Manzo" you have created (well done!) to pages available on Wikipedia in other languages.
Can you please confirm that "Prophet" is the correct translation for "Manzo" in English?
Na gode sosai, --DonCamillo (talk) 04:58, 14 Maris 2018 (UTC)
Dear DonCamillo the word Manzo means Messenger, and word Annabi means prophet Abubakar A Gwanki (talk) 05:24, 2 Nuwamba, 2018 (UTC)
Hello DonCamillo There is little differences between these words, the word " Prophet " Arabic (نبي) it means Annabi in hausa while the word "Messenger" Arabic (رسول) means Manzo. The Living love talk
Dear DonCamillo Manzo means messenger in any sort of form anyone carrying messages can be called Manzo. It's just a dictionary meaning of messenger in hausa. While prophet have another literal meaning.Musa Vacho77 (talk) 07:25, 25 ga Yuni, 2020 (UTC)
Admins
[gyara masomin]Dear Mohammed,
Thanks a lot for your contributions to the project!
This is just to inform you that we have two applications for "admin" status (a status that allows you to delete non-appropriate content, to block people who are adding inappropriate information...) at the moment on the Hausa Wikipedia: Ammarpad and myself.
Your support would be much appreciated: we just need you to add "*'''Support''' --~~~~" here and here.
Thanks a lot/Nagode sosai, --DonCamillo (talk) 05:39, 11 Mayu 2018 (UTC)
Congrats
[gyara masomin]Dear The Living love,
Congrats on your recent contributions improving the Hausa Wikipedia!
Just a few suggestions for translating from English: for references, since the Hausa Wikipedia does not have all the templates they have on the English Wikipedia, it is much better to use the very simple <ref></ref> (for instance: <ref>Bernard Caron da Ahmed Amfani, ''Dictionnaire français-haoussa''.</ref>), otherwise the templates will not work and there will error messages, some content will not show up... To display the reference at the bottom of the article you can use <references/>, in a section like == Mazanarta ==, for instance (a friend told be it was an appropriate Hausa translation for references, but feel free to do otherwise). For pictures, if you use only [[File:Picture]] there will be a problem with the size of the image, so for a better rendition you can use [[File:Picture|thumb|right]] : the picture will be smaller and will appear at the top right of the article.
You can also use the Databox template (adding {{databox}} at the top of the article) and it will show an information box with information from Wikidata at the top right of the article.

Duplicate articles
[gyara masomin]Hi The Living Love,
Just to let you know that there are already articles on Mohammed Buba Marwa (I have already merged the two articles) and Isah (Isa Almasihu, maybe it is better if you can add the content to this article directly). If you want to check if there is already an article in Hausa, the best way to do so is to check on Wikidata, this way you will immediately see if there is another article, maybe with another name. It's easy to create a redirect using #REDIRECT [[Name of the article]].
Nagode sosai! Thanks again for your amazing contributions to the project, –DonCamillo (talk) 11:53, 7 Disamba 2018 (UTC)
Thanks! DonCamillo, I would like to let you know that, most of the articles duplicated were created with a different spellings, although I tried to make Redirect when I come across them, but articles like this Uosaine dan Ali instead of AlHusain or Hussain Dan/Bin Ali were totally misspelled. But anyway I'll check the wikidata first as you suggested. The Living love (talk) 11:56, 9 Disamba 2018 (UTC)

[gyara masomin]Dear organiser,

Invitation to Organize Wiki Loves Love 2019
[gyara masomin]Wiki Loves Love (WLL) is an International photography competition of Wikimedia Commons to subject love testimonials happening in the month of February 2019.
The primary goal of the competition is to document love testimonials through human cultural diversity such as monuments, ceremonies, snapshot of tender gesture, and miscellaneous objects used as symbol of love; to illustrate articles in the worldwide free encyclopedia Wikipedia, and other Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) projects. February is around the corner and Wiki Loves Love team invites you to organize and promote WLL19 in your country and join hands with us to celebrate love and document it on Wikimedia Commons. The theme of 2019 is Festivals, ceremonies and celebrations of love.
To organize Wiki Loves Love in your region, sign up at WLL Organizers page. You can also simply support and spread love by helping us translate the commons page in your local language which is open for translation.
The contest starts runs from 1-28 February 2019. Independent from if there is a local contest organised in your country, you can help by making the photo contest Wiki Loves Love more accessible and available to more people in the world by translating the upload wizard, templates and pages to your local language. See for an overview of templates/pages to be translated at our Translations page.
Imagine...The sum of all love!

[gyara masomin]Dear The Living love,
Thanks for all your amazing contributions to the project!
I am considering creating articles for the 50 US States: could you tell me if this pattern is alright, and correct me if the Hausa I use is wrong? In particular I am not sure about "kilomita murraba'i" to say "square kilometer". A friend who speaks Hausa as a second language told me that, but I cannot find it anywhere else online.
Thanks a lot, –DonCamillo (talk) 07:19, 29 ga Janairu, 2019 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in the upcoming WPWP Campaign
[gyara masomin]Hello Wikipedians,
This is to invite you to join the WPWP Campaign to help improve Wikipedia articles with photos and win prizes. The campaign will run from 1st July 2020 to 31st August 2020.
The campaign primarily aims at using images from Wikimedia Commons on Wikipedia articles that are lacking images. Participants will choose among Wikipedia pages without photo images, then add a suitable file from among the many thousands of photos in the Wikimedia Commons, especially those uploaded from thematic contests (Wiki Loves Africa, Wiki Loves Earth, Wiki Loves Folklore, etc.) over the years.
Please visit the campaign page to learn more about the WPWP Campaign.
With kind regards,
Thank you,
Deborah Schwartz Jacobs, Communities Liaison, On behalf of the Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos Organizing Team - 21:32, 18 ga Yuni, 2020 (UTC)

[gyara masomin]Dear Participants and Organizers,
Because of the COVID19 pandemic, there are a lot of countries’ international postal systems not reopened yet. We would like to send all the participants digital postcards and digital certifications for organizers to your email account in the upcoming weeks. For the paper ones, we will track the latest status of the international postal systems of all the countries and hope the postcards and certifications can be delivered to your mailboxes as soon as possible.

Hello Mustapha, could you reduce the protection level of Module:Databox? I have improved its behaviour here, now it looks much better and offers easy translation on wikidata (see this example: Jirgin sama).

- Other Noteworthy Stuff
- Abstract Wikipedia presents prototypes of two tools that could help people to visualize, exemplify, and better guide our understanding of the coverage of lexicographic data in Wikidata.
- Public Domain Tool, developed by the Flemish Institute for Archives automates the process of determining whether their collection items could be in the public domain.
- Sizes of country items (like "Portugal" (Q45)) were recently reduced by 30% to 50% by moving a few economics properties to "economy of"-items (sample: "economy of Portugal" (Q1649355)). The item "economy of Portugal" is currently larger than "Portugal". This can simplify uses of country items that previously timed-out. Infoboxes can still access the properties with the link through "economy of topic" (P8744).
- Later this week, the development team will enable a rate limit for assigning new item IDs. Bots and users who successfully create items should notice no change, since the rate limit is equal to the existing limit on all edits. However, bots that often fail to create items may start to see different error messages than usual. This will hopefully reduce the problem of skipped item IDs.
