Wikipedia:WikiProject Senegal

Welcome to the WikiProject Senegal! This group was formed to better organize articles on the Senegal in a spirit of cooperation.

This group includes within its scope all articles related to Senegal, its cities, geography, transportation, culture, history and so on. It aims to expand Wikipedia's resources on Senegal in a fair and accurate manner. All of these articles should be contained within the Category:Senegal or one of its subcategories.

• Work on articles relating to Senegal Tagged as needing work in the WikiProject Africa . Tag articles with {{WikiProject Africa | class= |Senegal=yes}} and an assessment.
• Assess the Unassessed Senegal articles as Stub, Start, B-Class, etc. More on assessment here.
• Tag all Senegal-relevant articles with {{WikiProject Africa | class= |Senegal=yes}} and an assessment.
• Add your name to the WikiProject Senegal members list (below), and to the members list of our parent Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa.
• Invite more users to join WikiProject Africa with knowledge of or interest in Senegal.
• Create all yet-uncreated project pages (those in red). Sort through Wikipedia:List of missing Africa topics for Senegal related requests.
• Create Senegal subcategories and populate the created categories. Remove items from Category:Senegal that ought to be in subcategories.
• Look for open source photographs that can be uploaded to the Commons for articles in Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Senegal.
• Create basic Senegal topic articles: see User:TUF-KAT/Topics by country for a list of links for every nation/every basic topic.
• Kaffrine Region, Kédougou Region and Sédhiou·Region are newly created by the government of Senegal, from extant regions. The articles need to be both created and separated from their original region article. Here is an Official Government of Senegal region index page: (in French) http://www.gouv.sn/annuaire/regions.cfm

Public domain images of Senegal are available from a number of sources. These include:

• Wikipedia Commons: Senegal
• Images taken by United States Federal government employees in the course of their duties. An example would be www.usaid.gov.
• Historic postcards, which flourished in the two decades prior to WWI. If they were published in the US PRIOR to 1923, or the author died more than 70 years ago, they are Public Domain. Examples can be found here: the website of a collection of old postcards from Saint-Louis, Senegal.

1. Dakar, is currently only B class, and kind of a mess. A good street/neighborhood map whould be helpful, along with in depth looks at historical places, districts, and culture. T L Miles (talk) 18:16, 18 April 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
2. French Language Wikipedia has a schema of articles making up the History of Senegal. All these need English Language equivalents: fr:Modèle:Portail Sénégal/Histoire. T L Miles (talk) 01:03, 4 August 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
   —I have translated many articles from French Wikipedia to English but they are mostly related to Serer people and their history. Currently organising and creating Serer related articles. See Category:Serer people and Portal:Serer (under construction). Perhaps a Task Force may reduce the pressure on Project Senegal.Tamsier (talk) 17:24, 20 March 2012 (UTC) [reply ]
3. (Not an article, but portal issue) : I have updated Portal:Senegal and created new sub-pages all of which can be found at Category:Senegal portal. The portal needs regular participants to keep it updated and also to add the portal to relevant articles. Our portal system has changed so drastically nowadays where many portals are being mass deleted for lacking maintainers and views.Thanks.Tamsier (talk) 10:40, 14 July 2019 (UTC) [reply ]
