In about a week, we will launch a friendly "translate-a-thon" effort on
16 biographies of African women so that they get translated in "as many
languages as possible" (at least 16).
In the meanwhile, we need your help to "improve/polish" the ENGLISH
Wikipedia version of the biographies selected (as it is likely to be the
"master" of most translations). #16wikiwomen
Please join and help us to do that :
