Endorsment from Muhammad Idriss Criteria (talk)

Having contributed to Hausa Wikipedia for years, I am thrilled to endorse this project. Over the years, I've encountered firsthand the challenges that many articles face—lack of well-written content, readability issues, stubs, absence of references, categories, and connections to Wikidata Items.

This project directly addresses these crucial issues, aiming to elevate the quality of articles and contribute to a more robust and informative Hausa Wikipedia. Drawing from my experience, I am confident in the impact this initiative can make. I am fully supportive of this endeavor and eager to contribute my expertise to its success.

Endorsment from Yusuf Sa'adu (talk)

I am honored to endorse the "Improving Hausa Wikipedia Articles" project. Serving as a Sysop Editor of Hausa Wikipedia and a Volunteer, I delved into Hausa during my college education, gaining comprehensive knowledge about the intricacies of writing in the language. I am enthusiastic about imparting this knowledge to participants, guiding them through the rules of Hausa language writing.

My commitment extends to facilitating training sessions and serving as a judge in the writing contest. I strongly believe in the project's goal of enhancing article quality, and I am wholeheartedly dedicated to supporting this initiative. Rest assured of my active participation, as I am keen on contributing to the success of this impactful endeavor.

Endorsment from Hamza DK (talk)

wholeheartedly support Gwanki's project proposal to enhance Hausa Wikipedia. The project addresses crucial challenges such as the low quality of articles, lack of references, and notability issues on Hausa Wikipedia. With offline and online training sessions, involving 50 participants, and a subsequent writing contest, the initiative aims to empower editors to contribute meaningfully. As an experienced Wikimedia editor and Hausa native speaker, I recognize the significance of this project for Hausa Wikipedia, which currently faces deletion threats for many articles and a lack of editing skills among contributors. Gwanki, known for his dedication, has assembled a skilled team poised to successfully implement this project. I strongly endorse. I offer my support to Gwanki and the team and am eager to collaborate on this impactful project. --Hamza DK (talk) 22:24, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
