==Help !==
Hello Kipala,
I am a new member on this wikipedia and I don't really speak Kiswahili. However, I would like to contribute on articles concerning West Africa. (In a first time on Côte d'Ivoire). I created this [[Mtumiaji:Zenman/Sanduku la mchanga|sandbox page]] to receive the drafts of my articles. Could you spend à little moment to read them before their publication ? In advance, thank you.
Sincerely yours, --'''[[Mtumiaji:Zenman|Zenman]] ([[Majadiliano ya mtumiaji:Zenman|majadiliano]])''' 12:44, 7 Januari 2012 (UTC)
:Hi you asked my opinion on this attempt. Thank you for trying - where did you get this translation from? is it google? Google does not work for Swahili. I can understand some of it by guessing what you mean but i do not get a whole lot of what you try to express.
:If you want to help there are ways either going on with stubs with a very limited and standardized info or helping with templates etc. '''[[Mtumiaji:Kipala|Kipala]] ([[Majadiliano ya mtumiaji:Kipala|majadiliano]])''' 14:37, 7 Januari 2012 (UTC)

:::Hi, you can have a look at [[Mtumiaji:Kipala/Trial Cote]] and do some runs for lets say 4 wilaya from 4 regions at your sandbox.

==Brakets==
And perhaps you need to consider about the bracket which you're adding on the articles. Quite unnecessary since we don't have many articles related with the French things. Please they are not necessary!--[[User:Muddyb Blast Producer|<font color="blue"><sub>'''Mwanaharakati'''</sub></font>]]</span><font face="Verdana">[[User talk:Muddyb Blast Producer|<font color="gray"><sup>'''Longa'''</sup></font>]] 11:54, 11 Januari 2012 (UTC)

::Kwa Muddy: he followed my advice for naming the wilaya entries. True: I see that in TZ amd Kenya we have the long form "wilaya ya XYZ". Do you think it is so bad that we should move the whole stuff to new names?

:::Yep, we should move them. We can call them by their original name like "New York City" to Jiji la New York. Also, you can cross-check what I've done on the Turkish cities. I did not add even a single bracket on its articles. Most of them were just "Mkoa wa Ankara" and so many others.. But I did not use "Ankara (mkoa)" agaist its capital. We need to add the brackets on some articles if necessarily. Those which has no mean in our Wikipedia, i.e can't affect the meaning or the existence of the other articles, we might need the brackets. But single article no other ones and yet we are adding the brackets. No. I Strongly oppose it.

::::In en:wp, the use of brackets in article names is only recommended for disambiguation purposes. Otherwise, the simpler name is to be preferred over the more complex one. Consequently, I have just removed most "...(lugha)" additions from language articles only leaving them where necessary (e.g. on [[Kito (lugha)]]). In the same way, I would recommend moving all "...(wilaya)" articles to the simple name apart from where there's e.g. a city of the same name (e.g. [[Abidjan]]).

== Re: Moving forward - the Cote d'Ivoire project ==
 
Salaam, Ndg. Zenman! Thanks for your contributions to the Cote d'Ivoire project. I'm not sure that at this point I have either time or energy to write a key article (as you listed on the bureaucrats' talk pages). Whatever time and energy I have currently goes into language stubs. I've just finished Benin and am now working on Togo and Ghana - so Cote d'Ivoire would be next. Of course, you're welcome to do Cote d'Ivoire yourself. I'd base the info on [http://www.ethnologue.com/show_country.asp?name=CI the Ethnologue page for Cote d'Ivoire], write a list (see what I did for Ghana at http://sw.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orodha_ya_lugha_za_Ghana) and then do stubs for each language, just exchanging the basic info manually (cf. http://sw.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kianimere for an example). Let me know if this wasn't what you had in mind. Wasalaam, --'''[[Mtumiaji:Baba Tabita|Baba Tabita]] ([[Majadiliano ya mtumiaji:Baba Tabita|majadiliano]])''' 12:29, 12 Februari 2012 (UTC)

Kuhusu 2): nahitaji msaada na mawazo yenu. Nitashiriki kwenye mkutano wa Wikimedia mwezi wa Juni. Inaonekana mimi ndipo mchnagiaji wa pekee kutoka Wikipedia yetu. Ninajitahidi kupeleka mawazo ya jumuiya yetu. Naomba michango!
 
Nitaongeza karibuni mawazo yangu kuhusu mambo ninayoona kuwa na maana kwa mtazamo wangu. Ujumb huu natuma kwa wachangiaji wanaoonekana katika orodha ya wachangiaji hai waliochangia zaidi ya mara 3 katika siku 30 zilizopita!
