Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently editedThe Gambia College, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation pageGambian. Such links areusually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles.(Read theFAQ • Join us at theDPL WikiProject.)

Hi Gayobah --WikiProject Women in Green is preparing to host another Good Article edit-a-thon event in October, and when I was checking the 20-minute-assessment requests from June I realized that we had missed a request from you for feedback on the articleFatou Bensouda. Would you still like a 20-minute-assessment on this article? If so, I'll put your request at the top of the list for October.Alanna the Brave (talk)16:49, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Gayobah13:
WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-longGood Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2024!
Running from October 1 to 31, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the themeAround the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.
We hope to see you there!

These tournament points are carried over between rounds, and can only be earned if a competitor is among the top 16 round-point scorers at the end of each round.This table shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far. Everyone who competed in round 2 will advance to round 3 unless they have withdrawn or been banned.
Round 2 was quite competitive. Four contestants scored more than 1,000 round points, and eight scored more than 500 points (including one who has withdrawn). The following competitors scored at least 800 points:
