Hi African Hope! As promised by the Wikipedia Library team at the inception of the Wikimedia and Libraries User Group, we are conducting an open-election for the steering committee with 5 to 8 positions. Nominations will be accepted from 3 January 2018 to 9 January 2018. If you are interested in being a part of this committee, you can nominate yourself starting January 2nd next year. This position should attract Wikipedians and librarians with dedication and time to lead the user group in its first year. The elections will happen following the nominations phase starting from 10 January 2018 to 23 January 2018. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact WikiLibraryUG [at] googlegroups [dot] com. A message will be sent shortly before the dates linking to the venue for nominations and election. Thank you! On behalf of the user group founding members--MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:39, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
Hi African Hope! Greetings from the Wikimedia and Libraries User Group. Yes, you heard that right! We are now officially known as the Wikimedia and Libraries User Group (previously, Wikipedia Library User Group). New group contacts are User:Merrilee and User:Sodapopinski7. The elected steering committee has been meeting twice a month ever since their election, working on the organisation and details of user group functioning. Progress is being made and we'd like to keep the members updated.
Hi African Hope! Greetings from the Wikimedia and Libraries User Group. Thank you for participating in the poll to help the steering committee plan activities for the year 2018. We received 84 responses, and the results can be found on the resources page. In addition to that, there are a few more things we'd like to share with you.

Hello
Une petite note rapide pour te signaler que la WMF avait rejeté notre première proposition de demande de financement pour le concours photographique Wiki Loves Africa. Donc nous avons remanié le tout et fait une nouvelle demande allégée. La Côte d'Ivoire fait bien sûr partie des 7/8 pays identifiés. A plus. Anthere (talk) 15:30, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

Updates to Reports[edit]
Thank you for your recent update to the Reports page. While I have undone your change to your user group expiry date and notation of a tick rather than a cross for being up-to-date, that should only be temporary until I am able to give the required time for the review process and AffCom renewal of your group based on that review. Upon previewing your report I see no problems with it, however we do need to go through the official process before making updates to your user group status and eligibility. Please look forward to another message early next week once the process may be completed. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you JAnstee (WMF) (talk) 18:13, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
- Hello JAnstee (WMF), thank you for letting me know and I apologize for the inconvenience. Happy new year! --African Hope (talk) 17:10, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
- No inconvenience at all. Your user group renewal request have cleared AffCom review and I have made the updates to the Reports and Eligibility pages. Thank you JAnstee (WMF) (talk) 19:22, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
- I am glad to hear that. Our local team will move on now to filling the Registration form. Thank you for your feedback JAnstee (WMF) --African Hope (talk) 11:13, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia Library User Group is being renamed![edit]
Hello! In the past few months, the Wikipedia Library User Group has been undergoing some major planning and developments. We just finished our very first open call with the user group members, which was a great success (see the meeting minutes). If you joined us during the meeting, we’d like to thank you for your interest. If not, not to worry, we have lots of things planned for the user group in which you can participate.
This message is to inform you that based on the input received from the user group members and the founding members, it was agreed that the Wikipedia Library User Group’s name be reconsidered by a voting process. As a valued member of the user group, we’d like to invite you to vote on the list of potential names. You can vote by following this link. The poll will run for a timeframe of two weeks.

[Wikipedia & Education User Group] Updates: November 2018[edit]
Greetings,
Integrating Wikimedia with education is a powerful strategy for the outreach of Wikimedia projects. Realising this concept, a group of leaders promoted this and formed the Wikipedia Education Collaborative. After some time, this evolved to become a user group, officially recognised by the Affiliations Committee in June 2018. The user group had its first board elections earlier in September. In the process to formalise activities and give a shape the user group for long-term sustainability, we are now revamping our processes. Thanks for supporting us during incubation stages, we are now inviting you to formally join the user group by following the instructions on the members' page. Being a member will allow you to be a part of this wonderful collaboration and also do interesting stuff.
Kind regards
On behalf of Wikipedia and Education UG, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 11:44, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
