Last week I found the following notice in the Wikimedia Meta-Wiki, which was written a few days ago: "In my opinion the Hausa Wikipedia should be close. It has only stubs , and the Main Page. very few activity. send to incubator." It would be a pity if this really happens. Where are the Hausa native speakers who will add more flesh to the bones, i.e. write more quality articles in Hausa? It has been done in other African languages, e.g. in * Kiswahili: http://sw.wikipedia.org/wiki/ * E?egbe: http://ee.wikipedia.org/wiki/ * Yorůbá: http://yo.wikipedia.org/wiki/ If you would like to contribute something, but don’t know how this works, here are some guidelines: * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Contributing_to_Wikipedia * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents/Policies_and_guidelines * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tutorial You could start with some topic you are familiar with or translate an article from another language. A good point to start from could be some online news articles. Some old Hausa school books like “Ikon Allah” would be good source material, too. But make sure you do not just copy what is written there, in order to avoid copyright issues. -- http://hausaonline.wordpress.com Dr. Uwe Seibert Weihergarten 3 35689 Dillenburg Germany -- Wannan wasik'ar i-mel ce daga H-Hausa, inda za'a cigaba da hira game da harshe da al'adu da tarihi da sauran lamura na Hausawa da mak'wabtansu.
