Most of the new editors they don't have knowledge on Wiktionary. They don't know how to create or improve Wiktionary articles. I've led a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon in Funtua last year where I gather people, many of the participants have created an account. I and other Facilitators we've teach them how to edit on Wikipedia. And Hamza Dk he led a Wikipedia awareness and workshop in Karur, Funtua and Kafur towns are all under Karadua community in Katsina State. To date there are active editors among those who attended that two events. Since then I have been receiving calls from participants on how to teach them how to edit in Wiktionary. Some I've started teach them but I never got to sit with them and teach them. It was I who decided to apply for a grant in order to re-planning a project to teach a number of participants how to edit in Hausa Wiktionary.
