A key part of having an active, effective group is increasing the member size. Here's some information on inviting members.
The entire member list can be found here.
- Look for members who have contributed to Zimbabwe-related topics. They can be high-profile topics, such as countries, leaders, or well-known places, or low-profile, like obscures places, organizations, or people.
- Check the history log to see what sort of contributions users have made.
- Go to talk pages. Users who comment on talk pages are more likely to be significant contributors. You can confirm this by checking their list of contributions.
- Look for members who live in Zimbabwe. This may be indicated on their user page. You can also check categories such as Category:Wikipedians in Zimbabwe.
- Browse similar projects, notice boards, and portals.
Once you've found the member you wish to invite, add the following tag to his or her talk page.
{{subst:WP Zimbabwe Invitation}}
It will look like this:
