Assessment is now operational

Assessment for this task force is now operational; see Category:African protected areas task force articles. To indicate that an article is within the scope of this task force, place the following on its talk page:

{{AfricaProject|class=|importance=|parea=yes}}

Note that the "importance" parameter reflects the importance of the topic to WikiProject Africa, not to this particular task force. Like most task forces, this one does not currently assess the "importance" of articles for itself. You can also add country and country-importance parameters, as explained at Template:AfricaProject#Usage.

A question: how does one go about setting up a statistics table (e.g. here) with Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team? –Black Falcon ^(Talk) 16:08, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

DYKs

Two of the GAs listed on the main page were also featured on DYK (see Talk:Golden Gate Highlands National Park and Talk:Sapo National Park). Should the articles be listed in both sections? –Black Falcon ^(Talk) 16:37, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've added them for now. –Black Falcon ^(Talk) 18:47, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article alerts

This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles tagged by their banner enter a workflow such as Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, and Peer review (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found at here.

If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features.

The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts".

WP 1.0 bot announcement

This message is being sent to each WikiProject that participates in the WP 1.0 assessment system. On Saturday, January 23, 2010, the WP 1.0 bot will be upgraded. Your project does not need to take any action, but the appearance of your project's summary table will change. The upgrade will make many new, optional features available to all WikiProjects. Additional information is available at the WP 1.0 project homepage. — Carl (CBM · talk) 02:29, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

working on UG; have new template

howsit, I'm re-working Uganda's PAs. I created a new more complete navbox, Template:Protected Areas of Uganda, that I will be implementing. Can this be placed into the list on the project home page? Keitsist (talk) 19:55, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Mabusa Nature Reserve

The article Mabusa Nature Reserve has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No content since 2009

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Updates to Wikipedia articles about national parks in Africa

On behalf of the nonprofit organization African Parks via the Wyss Foundation, and as part of my work at Beutler Ink, I am working to create and improve several Wikipedia articles related to national parks in Africa. I created this page to describe the scope of the project and provide updates about my progress.

So far, I've submitted an expanded and updated draft for consideration at Talk:Liwonde National Park, and posted a note at WikiProject Malawi. I will likely be posting similar notes at other WikiProject Africa task forces for parks in other countries, once drafts are published.

I invite any Wikipedia editors to follow along and help improve articles by reviewing and responding to the edit requests I post on their talk pages. I'm happy to answer any questions or concerns about my work on my user talk page, or on talk pages belonging to articles in the scope of this project, since I have them watchlisted. Thanks!

Greetings, Not sure who is still active here, but hello all! I have, over the years, written up articles on some of Namibia's protected areas. I am about to start on some Angolan parks. I want to make sure I follow the right protocol etc and would love to hear about who else is working on protected areas in southern Africa? Thanks!Stralitzia (talk) 13:37, 4 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple project tags

If an article already has tags for WikiProject:Protected Areas and WikiProject:South Africa, does one add this task force's tag as well? · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 19:48, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
