University of Burundi new digitized documents and catalogue
[edit]Hello! I’ve been in touch with Paul Gatavu, the librarian at the University of Burundi in Bujumbura. They’ve been digitizing loads of material, including theses, dissertations, papers and reviews, and they can be searched and accessed freely, with fulltext search, here!
You can read about the digitization project here. Zanahary (talk) 13:52, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for this, this is great news. -Indy beetle (talk) 14:07, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
- It's amazing! The vastest majority of this stuff hasn't ever been digitized at all before. It's an amazing project, especially at a university so underfunded as UB. Zanahary (talk) 14:12, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Talk:United States has an RfC. If you would like to participate in the discussion, you are invited to add your comments on the discussion page. The previous one was closed due to it being too combative and not inducive to discussion. Thank you. Alexanderkowal (talk) 09:01, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
Would love to see more editors participating in this challenge on a diversity of topics and countries! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:37, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Review of new article with relevance to rural Africa water supply?
[edit]Hello, I've recently (on 1 July) resubmitted a new article for review, could someone with reviewer rights please do the review and, if they agree that it's notable, move it from draft to main space? The article is about a network that does a lot of work on water supply for people living in rural Africa, so it's of relevance for this project. Here is the draft article: Draft:Rural Water Supply Network. (I've stated on its talk page how I am professionally connected to that network and how I manage the potential conflict of interest).

- Pinging User:Sadads in the hope that he has time to review this new article. Thanks. EMsmile (talk) 14:30, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- I'm pinging another 3 people whom I found in the category [Wikipedia Articles for Creation reviewers]. Does someone have time to take a lookg? Pinging User:Noahfgodard, User:Xegma, User:Endrabcwizart. Thanks in advance. EMsmile (talk) 08:17, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- I think this may be relevant according to their website detail, but we need secondary sources. We cannot use their website content as the reference. I believe some corrections should be made before AFC submission.
- My Opinion for improvement:
- Infobox with basic information
- Sections: Introduction, About, History, Work, Annual Report, Where they work
- All these suggestions depend on secondary sources like journals, news media, and others(for more info: WP:RELIABLE). If I find some relevant sources, I will definitely contribute. At this time, this article may not be ready for mainspace and needs more improvement. Thanks. Endrabcwizart (talk) 19:38, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, I'll reply to you on the talk page of the draft article. EMsmile (talk) 19:46, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
