'''Welcome to Kinyarwanda Wikipedia, [[User:Ndahiro derrick|Ndahiro derrick]]'''!
As you may have discovered already, a significant proportion of the contributors to this site know little or no Kinyarwanda. We hope you will contribute, no matter what your language skills are. Feel free to contact me for guidance.
'''Enjoy'''!

== Comment heading and signature ==
To improve the comment you wrote on [[User talk:WikiBayer]], I suggest the following in Edit source mode:
* For the Level 2 heading (between the paired equals signs: '''<nowiki>== . ==</nowiki>''', replace the dot ''<small>(a placeholder in my edit) </small>'' with a heading. This separates your new comment from what precedes it, and will appear in the Table of Contents on this page.
* Always remember to sign your comments on Talk pages. Recommended: four tilde signs '''<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>''', which adds your linked User name and User talk page, and the date/time stamp. The same information appears in the page's Edit history (Reba amateka), which is the source I used to fill in the earlier missing signature.
Another thought: see [[User:WikiBayer]]'s user page, especially the "Babel boxes" that show languages and proficiency level. Since '''rw''' doesn't appear, it's possible you might want to repeat your message in English on that Talk page - though Google Translate (which I used) seems reliable. ''-- [[User:Deborahjay|Deborahjay]] ([[User talk:Deborahjay|talk]]) 12:31, 5 May 2020 (UTC)''
== Overview article for developing a small Wikipedia ==
Take a look at this article in Meta-Wiki: '''[[:m:Manual for small and new Wikipedias|Manual for small and new Wikipedias]]'''. Here today in RW WP I focused on the Science/Biology pages of the Vital articles, and then wrote on the Talk page with some links. (My ordinary edits were quite repetitive, as the Edit summaries show.) ''-- Cheers, [[User:Deborahjay|Deborahjay]] ([[User talk:Deborahjay|talk]]) 14:49, 17 July 2020 (UTC)''
:I really appreciate, this let me take a lot at it [[User:Ndahiro derrick|Ndahiro derrick]] ([[User talk:Ndahiro derrick|talk]]) 19:20, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
== Model edits ==
I just made a number of changes to the [[Akarere ka Kayonza]] page which you can study and use as a model. They're all in one edit with a condensed Edit summary:
[https://rw.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Akarere_ka_Kayonza&type=revision&diff=72541&oldid=72538 (click here to view)]. Hope this helps! ''-- [[User:Deborahjay|Deborahjay]] ([[User talk:Deborahjay|talk]]) 12:47, 18 July 2020 (UTC)''
:Wow thanks a lot that model looks more better than the previous version [[User:Ndahiro derrick|Ndahiro derrick]] ([[User talk:Ndahiro derrick|talk]]) 20:44, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
== Page name needed ==
Preparing to import the page '''[[:w:List of Rwandans]]''' from the English Wikipedia. What page name to use here? ''-- [[User:Deborahjay|Deborahjay]] ([[User talk:Deborahjay|talk]]) 17:11, 24 July 2020 (UTC)''
<br>
These are the needed translations:
* List of Rwandans (or: List of Rwandan people) = [[Lisite y'Abanyarwanda]]
* This is a list of notable people from Rwanda. = Iyi ni lisite y'abantu b'ibyamamare mu Rwanda.
I'll use these to create a page in the RW WP with the content from the EN WP. Improvements can of course be made later. ''-- [[User:Deborahjay|Deborahjay]] ([[User talk:Deborahjay|talk]]) 18:08, 24 July 2020 (UTC)''
==Translations==
* List of Rwandans (or: List of Rwandan people): lisite y'Abanyarwanda
* This is a list of notable people from Rwanda : Iyi ni lisite y'abantu b'ibyamamare mu Rwanda
[[User:Ndahiro derrick|Ndahiro derrick]] ([[User talk:Ndahiro derrick|talk]]) 10:41, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
:Thank you for the above. As you'll see the new page '''[[Lisite y'Abanyarwanda]]''' has English section headings and descriptions from the source WP page. Those need translation into Kinyarwanda. You might also add descriptions for notable people in red (who have no page yet), and of course add notable Rwandan people who are missing from the list. ''-- [[User:Deborahjay|Deborahjay]] ([[User talk:Deborahjay|talk]]) 11:20, 28 July 2020 (UTC)''
:(From previous section): '''See also:''' [[Category talk:Umuntu#Two subcategories needed]] for two more en:rw translation requests. ''-- [[User:Deborahjay|Deborahjay]] ([[User talk:Deborahjay|talk]]) 14:19, 27 July 2020 (UTC)''
== New User needs guidance ==
Greetings, [[User:Ndahiro derrick|Ndahiro]]! Recently I've noticed edits by '''[[User:Cnyirahabihirwe123]]''' that show a need for guidance:
* Some Edit summaries use the #WPWP and #WPWPRW hashtags but no image was added
* See new pages she's created - I can help with format but not to check for proper page naming, content and categories.
At this point I'm suggesting a speaker of iKinyarwanda be involved. I'll be glad to help follow up. ''-- Cheers, [[User:Deborahjay|Deborahjay]] ([[User talk:Deborahjay|talk]]) 08:11, 25 August 2020 (UTC)''<br>
'''Edited to add''': I wrote [[User talk:Cnyirahabihirwe123#The WPWP hashtags in Edit summary|this]] on her User talk page. ''-- [[User:Deborahjay|Deborahjay]] ([[User talk:Deborahjay|talk]]) 08:21, 25 August 2020 (UTC)''
: Greetings Mrs.[[User:Deborahjay|Deborahjay]], I am going to follow up and engage her on the above issues to give her a proper guidance. Thanks alot.... [[User:Ndahiro derrick|Ndahiro derrick]] ([[User talk:Ndahiro derrick|talk]]) 00:24, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

<!-- > Hello [[Eihel]], i hope you are doing well? I am a wikipedian from Rwanda ,kindly asking for your help in improving the home page for rw.wikipedia.org ,,,,,,Thanks a lot -->
Hello Ndahiro derrick,
All main pages are protected as you can see [https://rw.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Intangiriro&action=info here]. Only administrators can modify them and I am not an administrator, on any project or globally. Moreover, I do not speak Kinyarwanda. So I am not very helpful.
You can ask someone who speaks the language to help you. As a first step, you can also ask for help from a global administrator.
Cordially. —[[Umukoresha:Eihel|Eihel]] ([[Ibiganiro by'umukoresha:Eihel|talk]]) 12:08, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

Mwaramutse! Please look at [[Intangiriro/ikizamini]] and tell me what you think. I have adapted it from [https://se.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%A1lle:Ovdasiidu se.wikipedia.org]. I have used some imigongo images so please let me know if these are not appropriate (since I do not know the culture well) and I can change them.

== Affiliations Committee (AffCom) Call for candidates - January 2022 ==
''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Affiliations Committee/Translations/Call for candidates - January 2022|Translations]] are available.''
The '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Affiliations Committee|Affiliations Committee]]''' – the committee responsible for guiding volunteers in establishing Wikimedia chapters, thematic organizations, and user groups – is looking for new members!
The main role of the AffCom is to guide groups of volunteers that are interested in forming Wikimedia affiliates. We review applications from new groups, answer questions and provide advice about the different Wikimedia affiliation models and processes, review affiliate bylaws for compliance with requirements and best practices, and update the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees as well as advise them on issues connected to chapters, thematic organizations and Wikimedia user groups.
The committee consists of five to fifteen members, selected at least once every year, to serve two-year terms.
Being a part of the AffCom requires communication with volunteers all over the world, negotiating skills, cultural sensitivity, and the ability to understand legal texts. We look for a mix of different skill sets in our members.
;Responsibilities
* Availability of up to 5-8 hours per month
* Participate in monthly one and two-hour voice/video meetings
* Commitment to carry out assigned tasks in a given time.
* Facilitate and support communications
* Affiliate Support and growth
;;Required and Recommended Abilities, Skills, Knowledge for Affiliations Committee Members
Strong interpersonal relationship among members of the committee and also with the Wikimedia community members. Across all committee members, there are additional relevant skills as well as requirements which help to support the committee and its sustainability which include both required and relevant general skills
;;;Required
* Fluency in English
* Availability of up to 5 hours per week, and the time to participate in a monthly one and two-hour voice/video meetings.
* Willingness to use one's real name in committee activities (including contacts with current and potential affiliates) when appropriate.
* Strong track record of effective collaboration
* International orientation
;;;Relevant for all members
* Public Communications (English writing and speaking skills)
* Skills in other languages are a major plus.
* Understanding of the structure and work of affiliates and the Wikimedia Foundation.
* Documentation practices
* Interviewing experience
* Experience with, or in, an active affiliate is a major plus.
* Teamwork: Project and people management skills to coordinate and collaborate with different parties on a shared plan and see it through to completion.
* Problem-Solving: Ability to evaluate various solutions, consider multiple interests and points of view, revisit unresolved issues, seek compromise and work and communicate across languages and cultures.
Given the expectations for maintaining the course in 2022 and preparing for potential 2022 transitions as part of the Movement Strategy implementation process, it is important that we are also clear about two different skill sets critical to committee support at this time. The first skillset is oriented to understanding affiliate dynamics and organizational development patterns to successfully process affiliate applications for recognition; the other is oriented to conflict prevention and intervention support for affiliates in conflict.
;;;Relevant to Affiliate Recognitions
* Administration & Attention to detail
* Readiness to participate in political discussions on the role and future of affiliates, models of affiliation, and similar topics.
* Awareness of the affiliates ecosystem and models and understanding of community building, organizational development, and group dynamics
;;;Relevant to Conflict Prevention & Intervention
* Communication skills for active listening, clear instruction and turn-taking.
* Stress Management skills for maintaining patience and positivity
* Emotional intelligence to maintain awareness of emotions of oneself and others to practice empathy, impartiality, and mutual respect.
* Facilitation, negotiation, and mediation skills to guide diverse individuals and groups toward cooperation.
* Ability to work within a team
Do you have relevant skills and interest to support movement affiliates?
We are looking for people who are excited by the challenge of empowering volunteers to get organized and form communities that further our mission around the world. In exchange, committee members will gain the experience of supporting their world-wide colleagues to develop their communities as well as personal development in guiding organizational development, facilitating affiliate partnerships, and professional communications.
;Selection process
As a reflection of our commitment to openness, transparency, and bilateral engagement with the Wikimedia community, the 2022 member selection process will include a public review and comment period and a self-assessment survey for candidates to share their skills and their experience. This self-assessment information will help the committee to identify the skill sets relevant and supportive to our affiliate support processes. We invite you to apply for membership to the committee and join us in supporting the affiliates. The data shared in the self-assessment will only be made available to the committee and the relevant staff support. The nomination, candidate Q&A, and endorsements will still take place posted on Meta for public review at [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Affiliations Committee/Candidates/January 2022|January 2022 page]]. Here the global community is welcome to provide comments and feedback about each candidate.
Once the nomination window closes 31 January 2022, the sitting members who are not candidates for re-election in this cycle will deliberate and then vote, taking into account all inputs from the meta page, self-assessment, advisors, Wikimedia Foundation staff and board liaisons, and committee member discussion.
A final decision will be made in late-February 2022, with new members to be notified for onboarding in February.
;How to apply
If you are interested in joining the committee, please:
'''Step 1'''. Post your application [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Affiliations Committee/Candidates/January 2022|on the nomination page]] by '''31 January 2022'''. Your application must include the following information:

* This survey must be completed before Steps 3 & 4, as it will provide more background as to the type of work and expectations of members of AffCom.
'''Step 3'''. Answers the following questions:
* '''''NOTE:''''' Questions 1-3 are required for all candidates.
* Question 4 & 5 should be answered by those interested in joining the Recognitions subcommittee.
* Question 6 & 7 should be answered by those interested in joining the Conflicts Intervention subcommittee.
* If you are willing to nominate yourself for both subcommittees, answer all questions.
# What roles have you served across any Wikimedia projects and affiliates that you think have prepared you for this role?
# AffCom members need to manage time, confidentiality, conflicts of interest, and diverse situations across the global movement. How do you envision managing these?
# Members of AffCom serve on one of two subcommittees: Recognitions OR Conflicts Intervention. Which one of these are you most interested in serving on?
#If you are interested in serving on the Recognitions subcommittee, what do you think makes a group of Wikimedians ready to function together as an affiliate?
#If you are interested in serving on the Recognitions subcommittee, what do you think are the benefits and responsibilities of functioning as formal affiliates?
#If you are interested in serving on the Conflicts Intervention subcommittee, please describe your experience working with conflicts resolution.
#If you are interested in serving on the Conflicts Intervention subcommittee, please describe how you have helped build consensus and support diversity.
'''Step 4'''. Once you have completed the above, send an email announcing your application to '''affcom{{@}}wikimedia.org''' before the application deadline.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me and/or the committee as a whole. We are happy to chat or have a webinar call with anyone about our work if this helps them decide to apply. Please distribute this call among your networks, and do apply if you are interested!

;AffCom Support
'''Development of Policies:''' While advisors cannot create legally binding policies for the committee, they can help create policies that provide direction and support for the committee.
'''Planning and Implementing Community Relations:''' The advisors are long-term wikimedians & also include influential community leaders who can be effective at spreading the word about initiatives and services.
'''Supporting Subcommittees:''' The advisors can support subcommittees that have assigned tasks in specific areas.
'''Other Tasks:''' Advisors can be engaged to address a specific need. Such engagements are usually short-lived and are disbanded as soon as their specific goals are met.
;Key skills
We look for a healthy mix of different skill sets in our advisors, including the following key skills and experience:
# Strong understanding of the structure and work of Wikimedia affiliates and the Wikimedia Foundation.

A final decision will be made in February 2022, with new advisors expected to begin later that month.
;How to apply

== Campaigns Product Update #3 ==
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Hello '''Campaigns Product Newsletter''' subscribers!
We are excited to share our updates:
*'''Proposal to create new namespaces''': We have proposed to create two namespaces, which are “'''Event'''” and “'''Event talk'''.” This way, we can easily create an Event Center that pulls data from event pages. This Event Center may include tools to create event pages with registration support, a calendar of events, and event statistics, among other features. More importantly, the Event Center will highlight organizing as an essential part of the Wikimedia movement. Please give us feedback on [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T296280 Phabricator] or [[m:Talk:Campaigns/Foundation Product Team/Registration#Feedback_on_March_2022_update|Meta]] about our proposal to create two new namespaces.
*'''Engineering updates''': We are excited that we have finished hiring for our engineering team! Three engineers and an engineering manager have joined our team since our last update. In the last few months, they have conducted technical planning and launched the building phase of the project. They are now building the registration tool. You can see the [[m:Campaigns/Foundation Product Team|updated team on meta]].
*'''Design updates''': We conducted usability tests with a small group of testers for early feedback on the desktop wireframes. After collecting this feedback, we have developed a new version for desktop wireframes, which will be ready to share in the next few weeks. These desktop wireframes display the user flow of two experiences: one for organizers who want to add registration to their event pages, and another for participants who want to register for an event. Additionally, the design team is also currently working on the first version of mobile wireframes, which will be shared during the next office hour.
::1. View the latest desktop wireframes in '''Figma''' for [https://www.figma.com/proto/h0iZo5Tj6LHpsFDsInWiG0/Pilot---Event-Registration?node-id=1899%3A44995&scaling=min-zoom&page-id=1472%3A36710&starting-point-node-id=1899%3A44995&show-proto-sidebar=1&hide-ui=1 Campaign Organizer Prototype] and [https://www.figma.com/proto/h0iZo5Tj6LHpsFDsInWiG0/Pilot---Event-Registration?node-id=1998%3A49612&scaling=min-zoom&page-id=1472%3A36710&starting-point-node-id=1998%3A49612&show-proto-sidebar=1&hide-ui=1 Participant Registration Prototype].
::2. [[m:Talk:Campaigns/Foundation Product Team/Registration#Feedback_on_project_principles_&_wireframes_(October_2021)|Leave us some feedback]] on the desktop wireframes. Note that we haven’t posted the newest version of the desktop wireframes on the project page yet, but we will soon (and you can feel free to add feedback on any version you have seen).
*'''Ambassador updates''': Three product ambassadors for the Arabic, French and Swahili communities have now joined our team! They will help us collect feedback from Wikimedia communities about the project and understand the needs of organizers, through gathering first-hand information. These ambassadors are immersed as actual members of these communities, so they will also help us identify the needs of the organizers in our pilot communities. The ambassadors are: [[m:User:Bachounda (WMF)|'''M. Bachounda''']] for Arabic communities, [[m:User:Geugeor-WMF|'''Georges Fodouop''']] for French communities, and [[m:User:AMtavangu (WMF)|'''Antoni Mtavangu''']] for Swahili communities.
'''What is next?'''
:'''Next Office Hour''': We will be holding an office hour on '''March 31, 2022''' at 15:00 UTC, which will be conducted via [https://wikimedia.zoom.us/j/82046580320 '''Zoom''']. We invite everyone to attend, and we really hope to see you! The focus will be on the Registration Tool. The team will also be providing community updates on the usability test findings and design highlights for the wireframes. We will also share our current Project timeline and answer any questions you may have. [[m:Campaigns/Foundation Programs Team/Office Hours/2022 03|Join us and share your thoughts on these developments!]]
:In a few months, we are expecting to have the early testable version of the tool. By then, the team will be doing the first round of general testing and gathering feedback. We are looking forward to adding more features on the tool such as communication support, potentially by the end of this year. If you know other organizers that might be interested in following these developments, please recommend that they [[m:Campaigns/Foundation Product Team/Subscribers|subscribe to the newsletter]]. We want to receive as much feedback as we can.
Thank you!

Hello Subscribers!
[[metawiki:Campaigns/Foundation Product Team|'''The Campaigns Product Team''']] from the Wikimedia Foundation will be hosting two office hours to demo the new [[metawiki:Special:MyLanguage/Campaigns/Foundation Product Team/Registration|'''Event Registration Tool''']], and train organizers how to use it. In these office hours, you will learn how to:
* Create an event page in the new event namespace (as an event organizer)
* Enable registration on your event page (as an event organizer)
* Collect data on who registered for your event (as an event organizer)
* Register for an event on the event page (as an event participant)
You can attend one office hour or both, depending on your availability on the following dates:

== Campaigns Product Update #4 ==
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Hello '''Campaigns Product Newsletter''' subscribers!
We are excited to share our updates:
*<div style = "text-align:left; color: #192980; font-size: 1em;>'''Event Registration v0'''</div>
:We have successfully launched '''Event Registration tool V0''' on beta cluster and collected feedback from the first batch of testers. This tool is part of a more comprehensive organizing solution, the '''Event Center''', which hopes to support movement organizers. Through this registration solution, organizers can collect useful data on campaign participants and their needs while respecting participant privacy.
:'''Testing update'''. In our first round of feedback collection, testers were composed of different types of organizers around the movement with a language focus on Arabic, French, English, and Swahili communities. Most of the testers successfully created their test event registrations and signed up for a test event registration created by other organizers. '''''Simple''''', '''''easy to use''''', and '''''aids in managing event participants''''' were the common feedback we received from first-time users. In contrast, access and proper localization of the tool were the points for improvement identified. We are working on V1, which will include '''communication support''' and integration with the [https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/ '''Programs and Event Dashboard''']. This will be released on Meta-Wiki soon. We hope to address accessibility during this launch and improve localization problems once the tool has been deployed in local wikiprojects.
:[https://meta.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Main_Page ''The tool is still available for testing on the beta cluster'']. Feel free to leave feedback on our project talk page or this [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe53MNV9CKVBAF3SV2q97baufizH7b_2QJ47H1w0Upvoh4QFQ/viewform form].

Join the beta version of the Organizer Lab on WikiLearn to understand how to effectively organize a global campaign around sustainability and climate change! Applications are open from '''September 22 - October 19, 2022'''. The Organizer Lab will be a '''9-week online learning experience from the end of October until mid December''' that prepares participants to obtain knowledge about the topics that they wish to create, a call to action for strategic knowledge gaps, as well as more generalized Wikimedia organizing and campaign/event design skills.

*'''Organizer User Rights'''. We are reaching out to a pool of administrators from Arabic, French and Swahili communities to collect feedback on what is the best way to define organizer user rights, what privileges to give to community organizers, and what are the limitations of these privileges. Feel free to reach out to our [[m:Campaigns/Foundation Product Team|product ambassadors]] or send an email to '''ibrazal-ctr@wikimedia.org''' if you are interested to be part of these conversations.

'''Welcome to Kinyarwanda Wikipedia, [[User:Ndahiro derrick|Ndahiro derrick]]'''!
As you may have discovered already, a significant proportion of the contributors to this site know little or no Kinyarwanda. We hope you will contribute, no matter what your language skills are. Feel free to contact me for guidance.
'''Enjoy'''!
--'' [[User:Deborahjay|Deborahjay]] <small>([[User talk:Deborahjay|Talk]]) 12:09, 5 May 2020 (UTC)</small>''
== Comment heading and signature ==
To improve the comment you wrote on [[User talk:WikiBayer]], I suggest the following in Edit source mode:
* For the Level 2 heading (between the paired equals signs: '''<nowiki>== . ==</nowiki>''', replace the dot ''<small>(a placeholder in my edit) </small>'' with a heading. This separates your new comment from what precedes it, and will appear in the Table of Contents on this page.
* Always remember to sign your comments on Talk pages. Recommended: four tilde signs '''<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>''', which adds your linked User name and User talk page, and the date/time stamp. The same information appears in the page's Edit history (Reba amateka), which is the source I used to fill in the earlier missing signature.
Another thought: see [[User:WikiBayer]]'s user page, especially the "Babel boxes" that show languages and proficiency level. Since '''rw''' doesn't appear, it's possible you might want to repeat your message in English on that Talk page - though Google Translate (which I used) seems reliable. ''-- [[User:Deborahjay|Deborahjay]] ([[User talk:Deborahjay|talk]]) 12:31, 5 May 2020 (UTC)''
== Overview article for developing a small Wikipedia ==
Take a look at this article in Meta-Wiki: '''[[:m:Manual for small and new Wikipedias|Manual for small and new Wikipedias]]'''. Here today in RW WP I focused on the Science/Biology pages of the Vital articles, and then wrote on the Talk page with some links. (My ordinary edits were quite repetitive, as the Edit summaries show.) ''-- Cheers, [[User:Deborahjay|Deborahjay]] ([[User talk:Deborahjay|talk]]) 14:49, 17 July 2020 (UTC)''
:I really appreciate, this let me take a lot at it [[User:Ndahiro derrick|Ndahiro derrick]] ([[User talk:Ndahiro derrick|talk]]) 19:20, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
== Model edits ==
I just made a number of changes to the [[Akarere ka Kayonza]] page which you can study and use as a model. They're all in one edit with a condensed Edit summary:
[https://rw.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Akarere_ka_Kayonza&type=revision&diff=72541&oldid=72538 (click here to view)]. Hope this helps! ''-- [[User:Deborahjay|Deborahjay]] ([[User talk:Deborahjay|talk]]) 12:47, 18 July 2020 (UTC)''
:Wow thanks a lot that model looks more better than the previous version [[User:Ndahiro derrick|Ndahiro derrick]] ([[User talk:Ndahiro derrick|talk]]) 20:44, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
== Page name needed ==
Preparing to import the page '''[[:w:List of Rwandans]]''' from the English Wikipedia. What page name to use here? ''-- [[User:Deborahjay|Deborahjay]] ([[User talk:Deborahjay|talk]]) 17:11, 24 July 2020 (UTC)''
<br>
These are the needed translations:
* List of Rwandans (or: List of Rwandan people) = [[Lisite y'Abanyarwanda]]
* This is a list of notable people from Rwanda. = Iyi ni lisite y'abantu b'ibyamamare mu Rwanda.
I'll use these to create a page in the RW WP with the content from the EN WP. Improvements can of course be made later. ''-- [[User:Deborahjay|Deborahjay]] ([[User talk:Deborahjay|talk]]) 18:08, 24 July 2020 (UTC)''
==Translations==
* List of Rwandans (or: List of Rwandan people): lisite y'Abanyarwanda
* This is a list of notable people from Rwanda : Iyi ni lisite y'abantu b'ibyamamare mu Rwanda
[[User:Ndahiro derrick|Ndahiro derrick]] ([[User talk:Ndahiro derrick|talk]]) 10:41, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
:Thank you for the above. As you'll see the new page '''[[Lisite y'Abanyarwanda]]''' has English section headings and descriptions from the source WP page. Those need translation into Kinyarwanda. You might also add descriptions for notable people in red (who have no page yet), and of course add notable Rwandan people who are missing from the list. ''-- [[User:Deborahjay|Deborahjay]] ([[User talk:Deborahjay|talk]]) 11:20, 28 July 2020 (UTC)''
:(From previous section): '''See also:''' [[Category talk:Umuntu#Two subcategories needed]] for two more en:rw translation requests. ''-- [[User:Deborahjay|Deborahjay]] ([[User talk:Deborahjay|talk]]) 14:19, 27 July 2020 (UTC)''
== New User needs guidance ==
Greetings, [[User:Ndahiro derrick|Ndahiro]]! Recently I've noticed edits by '''[[User:Cnyirahabihirwe123]]''' that show a need for guidance:
* Some Edit summaries use the #WPWP and #WPWPRW hashtags but no image was added
* See new pages she's created - I can help with format but not to check for proper page naming, content and categories.
At this point I'm suggesting a speaker of iKinyarwanda be involved. I'll be glad to help follow up. ''-- Cheers, [[User:Deborahjay|Deborahjay]] ([[User talk:Deborahjay|talk]]) 08:11, 25 August 2020 (UTC)''<br>
'''Edited to add''': I wrote [[User talk:Cnyirahabihirwe123#The WPWP hashtags in Edit summary|this]] on her User talk page. ''-- [[User:Deborahjay|Deborahjay]] ([[User talk:Deborahjay|talk]]) 08:21, 25 August 2020 (UTC)''
: Greetings Mrs.[[User:Deborahjay|Deborahjay]], I am going to follow up and engage her on the above issues to give her a proper guidance. Thanks alot.... [[User:Ndahiro derrick|Ndahiro derrick]] ([[User talk:Ndahiro derrick|talk]]) 00:24, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

<!-- > Hello [[Eihel]], i hope you are doing well? I am a wikipedian from Rwanda ,kindly asking for your help in improving the home page for rw.wikipedia.org ,,,,,,Thanks a lot -->
Hello Ndahiro derrick,
All main pages are protected as you can see [https://rw.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Intangiriro&action=info here]. Only administrators can modify them and I am not an administrator, on any project or globally. Moreover, I do not speak Kinyarwanda. So I am not very helpful.
You can ask someone who speaks the language to help you. As a first step, you can also ask for help from a global administrator.
Cordially. —[[Umukoresha:Eihel|Eihel]] ([[Ibiganiro by'umukoresha:Eihel|talk]]) 12:08, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

I have used some imigongo images so please let me know if these are not appropriate (since I do not know the culture well) and I can change them.

== Affiliations Committee (AffCom) Call for candidates - January 2022 ==
''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Affiliations Committee/Translations/Call for candidates - January 2022|Translations]] are available.''
The '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Affiliations Committee|Affiliations Committee]]''' – the committee responsible for guiding volunteers in establishing Wikimedia chapters, thematic organizations, and user groups – is looking for new members!
The main role of the AffCom is to guide groups of volunteers that are interested in forming Wikimedia affiliates. We review applications from new groups, answer questions and provide advice about the different Wikimedia affiliation models and processes, review affiliate bylaws for compliance with requirements and best practices, and update the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees as well as advise them on issues connected to chapters, thematic organizations and Wikimedia user groups.
The committee consists of five to fifteen members, selected at least once every year, to serve two-year terms.
Being a part of the AffCom requires communication with volunteers all over the world, negotiating skills, cultural sensitivity, and the ability to understand legal texts. We look for a mix of different skill sets in our members.
;Responsibilities
* Availability of up to 5-8 hours per month
* Participate in monthly one and two-hour voice/video meetings
* Commitment to carry out assigned tasks in a given time.
* Facilitate and support communications
* Affiliate Support and growth
;;Required and Recommended Abilities, Skills, Knowledge for Affiliations Committee Members
Strong interpersonal relationship among members of the committee and also with the Wikimedia community members. Across all committee members, there are additional relevant skills as well as requirements which help to support the committee and its sustainability which include both required and relevant general skills
;;;Required
* Fluency in English
* Availability of up to 5 hours per week, and the time to participate in a monthly one and two-hour voice/video meetings.
* Willingness to use one's real name in committee activities (including contacts with current and potential affiliates) when appropriate.
* Strong track record of effective collaboration
* International orientation
;;;Relevant for all members
* Public Communications (English writing and speaking skills)
* Skills in other languages are a major plus.
* Understanding of the structure and work of affiliates and the Wikimedia Foundation.
* Documentation practices
* Interviewing experience
* Experience with, or in, an active affiliate is a major plus.
* Teamwork: Project and people management skills to coordinate and collaborate with different parties on a shared plan and see it through to completion.
* Problem-Solving: Ability to evaluate various solutions, consider multiple interests and points of view, revisit unresolved issues, seek compromise and work and communicate across languages and cultures.
Given the expectations for maintaining the course in 2022 and preparing for potential 2022 transitions as part of the Movement Strategy implementation process, it is important that we are also clear about two different skill sets critical to committee support at this time. The first skillset is oriented to understanding affiliate dynamics and organizational development patterns to successfully process affiliate applications for recognition; the other is oriented to conflict prevention and intervention support for affiliates in conflict.
;;;Relevant to Affiliate Recognitions
* Administration & Attention to detail
* Readiness to participate in political discussions on the role and future of affiliates, models of affiliation, and similar topics.
* Awareness of the affiliates ecosystem and models and understanding of community building, organizational development, and group dynamics
;;;Relevant to Conflict Prevention & Intervention
* Communication skills for active listening, clear instruction and turn-taking.
* Stress Management skills for maintaining patience and positivity
* Emotional intelligence to maintain awareness of emotions of oneself and others to practice empathy, impartiality, and mutual respect.
* Facilitation, negotiation, and mediation skills to guide diverse individuals and groups toward cooperation.
* Ability to work within a team
Do you have relevant skills and interest to support movement affiliates?
We are looking for people who are excited by the challenge of empowering volunteers to get organized and form communities that further our mission around the world. In exchange, committee members will gain the experience of supporting their world-wide colleagues to develop their communities as well as personal development in guiding organizational development, facilitating affiliate partnerships, and professional communications.
;Selection process
As a reflection of our commitment to openness, transparency, and bilateral engagement with the Wikimedia community, the 2022 member selection process will include a public review and comment period and a self-assessment survey for candidates to share their skills and their experience. This self-assessment information will help the committee to identify the skill sets relevant and supportive to our affiliate support processes. We invite you to apply for membership to the committee and join us in supporting the affiliates. The data shared in the self-assessment will only be made available to the committee and the relevant staff support. The nomination, candidate Q&A, and endorsements will still take place posted on Meta for public review at [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Affiliations Committee/Candidates/January 2022|January 2022 page]]. Here the global community is welcome to provide comments and feedback about each candidate.
Once the nomination window closes 31 January 2022, the sitting members who are not candidates for re-election in this cycle will deliberate and then vote, taking into account all inputs from the meta page, self-assessment, advisors, Wikimedia Foundation staff and board liaisons, and committee member discussion.
A final decision will be made in late-February 2022, with new members to be notified for onboarding in February.
;How to apply
If you are interested in joining the committee, please:
'''Step 1'''. Post your application [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Affiliations Committee/Candidates/January 2022|on the nomination page]] by '''31 January 2022'''. Your application must include the following information:

;AffCom Support
'''Development of Policies:''' While advisors cannot create legally binding policies for the committee, they can help create policies that provide direction and support for the committee.
'''Planning and Implementing Community Relations:''' The advisors are long-term wikimedians & also include influential community leaders who can be effective at spreading the word about initiatives and services.
'''Supporting Subcommittees:''' The advisors can support subcommittees that have assigned tasks in specific areas.
'''Other Tasks:''' Advisors can be engaged to address a specific need. Such engagements are usually short-lived and are disbanded as soon as their specific goals are met.
;Key skills
We look for a healthy mix of different skill sets in our advisors, including the following key skills and experience:
# Strong understanding of the structure and work of Wikimedia affiliates and the Wikimedia Foundation.
# Readiness to participate in political discussions on the role and future of affiliates, models of affiliation, and similar topics.

A final decision will be made in February 2022, with new advisors expected to begin later that month.
;How to apply
If you are interested in advising the committee, please submit your candidacy on [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Affiliations Committee/Advisors/2022|the nomination page]] between January 01 to January 31, 2022. Your application must include the following information:

== Campaigns Product Update #3 ==
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Hello '''Campaigns Product Newsletter''' subscribers!
We are excited to share our updates:
*'''Proposal to create new namespaces''': We have proposed to create two namespaces, which are “'''Event'''” and “'''Event talk'''.” This way, we can easily create an Event Center that pulls data from event pages. This Event Center may include tools to create event pages with registration support, a calendar of events, and event statistics, among other features. More importantly, the Event Center will highlight organizing as an essential part of the Wikimedia movement. Please give us feedback on [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T296280 Phabricator] or [[m:Talk:Campaigns/Foundation Product Team/Registration#Feedback_on_March_2022_update|Meta]] about our proposal to create two new namespaces.
*'''Engineering updates''': We are excited that we have finished hiring for our engineering team! Three engineers and an engineering manager have joined our team since our last update. In the last few months, they have conducted technical planning and launched the building phase of the project. They are now building the registration tool. You can see the [[m:Campaigns/Foundation Product Team|updated team on meta]].
*'''Design updates''': We conducted usability tests with a small group of testers for early feedback on the desktop wireframes. After collecting this feedback, we have developed a new version for desktop wireframes, which will be ready to share in the next few weeks. These desktop wireframes display the user flow of two experiences: one for organizers who want to add registration to their event pages, and another for participants who want to register for an event. Additionally, the design team is also currently working on the first version of mobile wireframes, which will be shared during the next office hour.
::1. View the latest desktop wireframes in '''Figma''' for [https://www.figma.com/proto/h0iZo5Tj6LHpsFDsInWiG0/Pilot---Event-Registration?node-id=1899%3A44995&scaling=min-zoom&page-id=1472%3A36710&starting-point-node-id=1899%3A44995&show-proto-sidebar=1&hide-ui=1 Campaign Organizer Prototype] and [https://www.figma.com/proto/h0iZo5Tj6LHpsFDsInWiG0/Pilot---Event-Registration?node-id=1998%3A49612&scaling=min-zoom&page-id=1472%3A36710&starting-point-node-id=1998%3A49612&show-proto-sidebar=1&hide-ui=1 Participant Registration Prototype].
::2. [[m:Talk:Campaigns/Foundation Product Team/Registration#Feedback_on_project_principles_&_wireframes_(October_2021)|Leave us some feedback]] on the desktop wireframes. Note that we haven’t posted the newest version of the desktop wireframes on the project page yet, but we will soon (and you can feel free to add feedback on any version you have seen).
*'''Ambassador updates''': Three product ambassadors for the Arabic, French and Swahili communities have now joined our team! They will help us collect feedback from Wikimedia communities about the project and understand the needs of organizers, through gathering first-hand information. These ambassadors are immersed as actual members of these communities, so they will also help us identify the needs of the organizers in our pilot communities. The ambassadors are: [[m:User:Bachounda (WMF)|'''M. Bachounda''']] for Arabic communities, [[m:User:Geugeor-WMF|'''Georges Fodouop''']] for French communities, and [[m:User:AMtavangu (WMF)|'''Antoni Mtavangu''']] for Swahili communities.
'''What is next?'''
:'''Next Office Hour''': We will be holding an office hour on '''March 31, 2022''' at 15:00 UTC, which will be conducted via [https://wikimedia.zoom.us/j/82046580320 '''Zoom''']. We invite everyone to attend, and we really hope to see you! The focus will be on the Registration Tool. The team will also be providing community updates on the usability test findings and design highlights for the wireframes. We will also share our current Project timeline and answer any questions you may have. [[m:Campaigns/Foundation Programs Team/Office Hours/2022 03|Join us and share your thoughts on these developments!]]
:In a few months, we are expecting to have the early testable version of the tool. By then, the team will be doing the first round of general testing and gathering feedback. We are looking forward to adding more features on the tool such as communication support, potentially by the end of this year. If you know other organizers that might be interested in following these developments, please recommend that they [[m:Campaigns/Foundation Product Team/Subscribers|subscribe to the newsletter]]. We want to receive as much feedback as we can.
Thank you!

We are excited to share our updates:
*<div style = "text-align:left; color: #192980; font-size: 1em;>'''Event Registration v0'''</div>
:We have successfully launched '''Event Registration tool V0''' on beta cluster and collected feedback from the first batch of testers. This tool is part of a more comprehensive organizing solution, the '''Event Center''', which hopes to support movement organizers. Through this registration solution, organizers can collect useful data on campaign participants and their needs while respecting participant privacy.
:'''Testing update'''. In our first round of feedback collection, testers were composed of different types of organizers around the movement with a language focus on Arabic, French, English, and Swahili communities. Most of the testers successfully created their test event registrations and signed up for a test event registration created by other organizers. '''''Simple''''', '''''easy to use''''', and '''''aids in managing event participants''''' were the common feedback we received from first-time users. In contrast, access and proper localization of the tool were the points for improvement identified. We are working on V1, which will include '''communication support''' and integration with the [https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/ '''Programs and Event Dashboard''']. This will be released on Meta-Wiki soon. We hope to address accessibility during this launch and improve localization problems once the tool has been deployed in local wikiprojects.
:[https://meta.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Main_Page ''The tool is still available for testing on the beta cluster'']. Feel free to leave feedback on our project talk page or this [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe53MNV9CKVBAF3SV2q97baufizH7b_2QJ47H1w0Upvoh4QFQ/viewform form].
*<div style = "text-align:left; color: #192980; font-size: 1em;>'''Organizer Lab'''</div> Looking for a way to learn how to effectively organize around sustainability? Join the beta version of the Organizer Lab on WikiLearn to understand how to effectively organize a global campaign around sustainability and climate change! Applications are open from '''September 22 - October 19, 2022'''. The Organizer Lab will be a '''9-week online learning experience from the end of October until mid December''' that prepares participants to obtain knowledge about the topics that they wish to create, a call to action for strategic knowledge gaps, as well as more generalized Wikimedia organizing and campaign/event design skills.
:[[m:Campaigns/Organizer_Lab|'''Read more about the program''']]!
<br>
'''What's Next''':
*'''Organizer Lab Information Session'''. We invite you to join our information session for the Organizer Lab on [https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1664546421 '''September 30, 2022 at 14:00 UTC'''] via '''Zoom'''. [https://wikimedia.zoom.us/j/89032870014 ''Join this session!'']<br>
*'''Organizer User Rights'''. We are reaching out to a pool of administrators from Arabic, French and Swahili communities to collect feedback on what is the best way to define organizer user rights, what privileges to give to community organizers, and what are the limitations of these privileges. Feel free to reach out to our [[m:Campaigns/Foundation Product Team|product ambassadors]] or send an email to '''ibrazal-ctr@wikimedia.org''' if you are interested to be part of these conversations.
<br>

'''Community Feedback''':
<center>''"Participants have been always asking the organizers are asked by participants whether they are registered, now participants will just look directly if they are registered, Thank you for creating the system"'' <br> - French Organizer <br><br>
''“I think that the platform will facilitate the process of promoting events and searching for participants”''<br> - Arabic Organizer </center><br>

<br>
Thank you!

Igisheke ni igihingwa kiboneka mu Rwanda, gihingwa ahantu henshi kuko ntaho kitera haba ku misozi cyangwa mu bishanga. Gusa usanga ababirya babifata mu buryo butandukanye. Uretseko ababihinga bibabera isoko yo gukirigita ifaranga, usanga ku babirya abenshi batazi umumaro iki gihingwa kimariye umubiri w’umuntu. Usanga ku bakuru bagifata nk’ikiribwa cy’abana, hari n'abagifata nk’ikiribwa cy’abantu baciriritse nyamara hagendewe ku ntungamubiri iki gihingwa gikungahayeho cyaribwa kurusha ibindi binyamasukari.
[[Dosiye:Sugar Cane Juice waste.jpg|thumb|Igisheke]]
== Imimaro y'igisheke ==
# Igisheke gitera imbaraga umubiri kuko gikungahaye ku masukari karemano arinda umuntu kugira umwuma kandi uyu mutobe uba mu gisheke wongera imbaraga kurusha ibindi binyobwa tumenyereyemo isukari.
# Igisheke n'ubwo kandi kigira umutobe uryohera cyane ariko wifitemo isukari nziza cyane ku barwayi ba diyabete, kuko uyu mutobe wifitemo intungamubiri zigabanya isukari yo mu maraso.
# Mu mutobe w’igisheke higanjemo: Calcium, magnesium, potassium, ubutare, na manganese. Kandi bigabanya amahirwe yo kurwara indwara za kanseri ya prostate ku bagabo ndetse na kanseri y’amabere ku bagore.
# [[Dosiye:Sugar cane jubair.jpg|thumb|sugar cane]]Umutobe w’ibisheke wongerera imbaraga ibyubaka umubiri, utuma impyiko zikora neza, ugabanya uburibwe mu gasabo k’inkari ndetse ukura amabuye mu mpyiko.
# Kurya igisheke bigabanya amahirwe yo kwandura indwara zibonetse zose kuko wongerera imbaraga ubudahangwarwa bw’umubiri. Uyu mutobe kandi urinda indwara zimwe za zimwe zifata umwijima. Igisheke gituma umubiri usohora imyanda ndetse mu gihe cy’uburwayi kigabanya ubushyuhe umubiri udakeneye.
# Umutobe w’igisheke woroshya igogora kuko haba higanjemo Potasium
# Uyu mutobe utuma amenyo atangirika bigatuma umuntu atagira impumuro mbi yo mu kanwa kandi kigatuma umuntu agira amenyo y’umweru.
# Igisheke gikiza indwara ifata inzara zajemo amabara y’umweru, zigasubirana ibara risanzwe zigasa neza.
# Igisheke ni umuti w’indwara zimwe na zimwe zifata uruhu urugero umwera n’ise. Mu kwivura usiga uwo mutobe aharwaye ukareka ukumiraho.
# [[Dosiye:Sugarcane bd.jpg|thumb|umurima w'ibisheke]]Bitewe na acide yitwa alph hydroxyl iba mu gisheke, uwakiriye agira uruhu runoze kandi rusa neza, bikarurinda gusaza, bityo agahorana itoto.
Igisheke ni ingirakamaro mu buzima bw’umuntu kandi gifasha gukomeza kugira ubuzima bwiza.Uramutse wihaye gahunda yo kurya ingingo y’igisheke buri munsi ntaho wahurira n’ indwara zifata mu myanya y’ubuhumekero nk’ibicurane ndetse hari n’izindi ndwara waca ukubiri nazo. Ntabwo dukwiye kurya igisheke kuko dufite inyota gusa ahubwo dukwiye kukirya twizera ko ari umuti w’indwara zinyuranye.
== Ese isukari yo mu gisheke uhekenya itandukaniye he n’iyakuwe mu gisheke mu ruganda? ==
[[Dosiye:Cut sugarcane.jpg|thumb]]
Aha twibutseko n’ubundi ibintu byinshi tubona bivuye mu nganda, biba byavuye ku bimera. Mu ruganda rero hari ibikurwamo n’ibyongerwamo, urugero twavuga ishwagara (chaux acide) yongerwamo kugirango isukari uyibone kuriya ari udusaro, molasses yo ni nk’ibisigazwa kuko iratabwa nyamara nayo ifite intungamubiri. Ibi byose rero bituma isukari ukuye mu gisheke uhekenye cyangwa usekuye ubwawe ukora umutobe iruta kure isukari yo mu ruganda.
[[Dosiye:Sugar cane 2.jpg|thumb|sugar cane plantation]]
== Uko igisheke gihingwa ==
Igisheke ni igihingwa cyenda kumera nk’ikibingo kibyibushye. Bakeka ko gikomoka muri Aziya y’epfo. Umubyimba wacyo ugizwe n’ingingo nyinshi.
Igisheke gishobora kuba kigufi cyangwa kirekire.
Gishobora no kugira ingeri ngufi cyangwa ndende byose biterwa n’ubwoko bwacyo cyangwa ubutaka kirimo.
Hariho ubwoko bw’ibisheke bushobora kugira uburebure bwa metero ebyiri kugera kuri eshanu.
Ingingo z’ibisheke by’ubwo bwoko zishobora kugira uburebure buri hagati ya santimetero zirindwi na santimetero makumyabiri n’ebyiri.
[[Dosiye:Suger suger.jpg|thumb]]
Ubusanzwe igisheke ntigishamikira hejuru y’ubutaka.Ku gitsina cyacyo havuka ibishibuka.Mu butaka bwiza igisheke gishobora kugira kuva ku bishibuka cumi kugeza kuri makumyabiri.
Igitsina kimaze igihe kirekire mu butaka, gishibuka ibisheke byinshi ariko bikaba bitoya.
Imizi y’igisheke ntiyuma vuba.
Ku ngingo z’igisheke haba amababi agaramye, yashobora kugira metero ebyiri z’uburebure.Kigira ingingo ziteye nk’iz’urubingo.
[[Dosiye:Sugar cane bud.jpg|thumb|igisheke]]
Batera ingeri zifite amapfundo, ariko izera neza ni izo ku gice cyo ku mutwe.
Iyo bamaze gutunganya umurima bawucamo utugende duteganye dufite santimetero makumyabiri n’eshanu.
Utwo tugende bakaturambikamomo ingeri zifite nka santimetero eshanu kandi hagasigara metero imwe hagati y’ingeri.
Mu mezi atatu ya mbere, ibisheke babibagara buhoro babisukira ariko bakabigira kenshi.
Umwaka ujya gushira twa tugende tumaze gusubirana.Ubwo bagatangira kujya basukira cyane.
Ibisheke by’ubwoko bwiza kandi bitewe mu butaka bwiza bishobora kwera hashize umwaka. Amoko atinda ashobora kugeza ku mwaka n’igice.
Iyo hashize ibyumweru bibiri cyangwa bitatu bamaze gusarura, ibitsina bitangira gushibuka.
Igitsinsi bashobora kugisarura ibihe bitanu cyangwa bitandatu, ariko rero umusaruro uhora ugenda ugabanuka.
