The WikiAfrica Incubator is an online portal on Wikipedia that nurtures new articles about Africa. Articles passing through the WikiAfrica Incubator are likely to stay on Wikipedia. This is because only those articles that follow the recommended writing guidelines of Wikipedia and have balanced, well-cited content, are able to progress from the WikiAfrica Incubator.
Over the next few weeks, many of the 165 articles created by various newbies will make their way into Wikipedia namespace from the WikiAfrica Incubator. Rexford Nkansah, the new Wikipedian-in-Residence at the Africa Centre is helping to generate more content for the stub articles and migrate those articles that pass English Wikipedia’s writing recommendations.
In the month of January, these articles and more were moved to the main space:

We would appreciate the support of anyone who is interested in helping to improve the articles on the WikiAfrica Incubator. More migrations are being made, and appear in italicised font on the WikiAfrica Incubator page.
The WikiAfrica team also encourages everyone to start new articles that you think should be added to Wikipedia, but are not currently available. The WikiAfrica Incubator provides a “soft landing” – a mentored learning space for all those people wanting to contribute to Wikipedia but need help to get started.
