Yoruba Wikimedians User Group/Internet support program/Translating and creating Yoruba article for Nigeria footballers

Project summary

Briefly summarize your purpose for requesting internet support.

For example, I am requesting for internet data support to contribute 25 articles to the Yoruba Wikipedia.

• In light of my passion for sports, particularly ignited by the recent excitement surrounding the AFCON tournament, I've observed a significant surge in visits to articles about Nigerian players on English Wikipedia. Interestingly, this enthusiasm isn't mirrored on Yoruba Wikipedia, where such content is notably absent. Recognizing the immense potential to bridge this gap and cater to a broader audience, I propose utilizing data reimbursement to facilitate the translation of 25 existing articles about Nigerian players from English to Yoruba. Additionally, i aim to bolster the representation by creating a minimum of 10 new articles dedicated to Nigerian players on the Yoruba Wikipedia platform. This initiative not only serves to enrich the cultural and linguistic diversity of Wikipedia but also fosters greater inclusivity within the global sports community. By supporting this project, we can ensure that the achievements and contributions of Nigerian athletes are celebrated and accessible to a wider audience in the yoruba commoounnity.
