Good idea

This page (and advertisement banner across the wikimedia sites) references "Africa's rich heritage and culture" -- Africa is not a single country or Thanks entity and I believe Wikimedia's language should reflect that by saying, at a minimum, "Africa's rich heritage and cultures" with an 's.'

Thanks Bahinto, this is a good point. We are making the change (and more)! Islahaddow (talk) 09:24, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

These will really promote african culture and also preserve it so that the future generation can also come and be taught their true ways of living Omphile motlhabane (talk) 20:50, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

Main page complaint

Sorry, where is the comments-page for this web-page? I came here having clicked on the red logo, which is showing elsewhere and I have uploaded a photo, based on the above "share the daily practises of people" and then it got tagged "dance and music". I live and work in Africa and I hope Wikimedia is not suggesting that we just sing and dance here all year long. Africa is always so much more! I see that there are several suggestions on this page (music and such is mentioned here below) - so it is unclear what Wikimedia wants this year. There are even example photos shown, which do present architecture or pedestrians and buildings, no music no dance; so this needs work and clarification. Please some veteran put this feedback where it belongs (if there is a discussion page for this promotion). Thank you.--Bassilois (talk) 13:47, 13 December 2016 (UTC) moved from main page to Discussion by Liam E. Bekker (talk) 07:50, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
