Main page articles
[kulemba source]@CubanoBoi, the articles on 31-days loop showing on the home page are outdated. If you ever find time, may you please replace with any new articles. You don't have to do(update) all of them, but just the few you can manage to.
The thing is that you can add any article, be it a river from Malawi/Zambia/Tanzania, a town/history/municipality in Cuba, a state in USA, a president from Mexico, etc. It doesn't always has to be about Tumbuka related, though at least adding one or two about Tumbuka-related is recommended.
The home page is not edited through home page, but from here. The today's pictures articles to change are located here (list) while the individual page is like this.
The vital articles on main page are found here (as list), but an individual page can be found here.

You may be an eligible candidate for the U4C election
[kulemba source]Greetings,
The Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) seeks candidates for the 2026 election. The U4C is the global committee responsible for overseeing enforcement of the Universal Code of Conduct. Elections are held annually, if elected a committee member serves for two years.
This year the U4C requires candidates to hold administrator rights on at least one wiki, which is why you are being contacted as you appear to hold this right. There are other requirements, such as candidates must be at least 18 years old and may not be employed by the Wikimedia Foundation or other related chapters and affiliates. You can find more information in the call for candidates on Meta-wiki. Additionally, the committee's working language is English; some ability to communicate in English is required.
The election opens on 18 May, if you are eligible and interested you have until 10 May to submit your candidacy. There will be a week in between for candidates to answer questions from the community. Voting takes place privately in SecurePoll, successful candidates must receive at least 60% support. More information is available on the 2026 Elections page, including timelines and other candidacy information. If you read over the material and consider yourself qualified, please consider submitting your name to run for the committee. If you think someone else in your community might be interested and qualified, please encourage them to run.

- @CubanoBoi add your name there. Thanks. Tumbuka Arch★★★ 09:25, 20 Julayi 2026 (UTC)
- @CubanoBoi, Gracias! and here too: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Community_User_Group_Malawi/Founding_and_Participating
- Another thing is that can you create your userpage on Meta so that it doesn't look "red" which presumes one as a newbie. Tumbuka Arch★★★ 15:16, 21 Julayi 2026 (UTC)
Let's wake up the Tumbuka Wiktionary.
[kulemba source]@CubanoBoi Can we please wake this project up? It has been almost 4 years now and it is not yet ready. It only needs few entries to get going. 10 entries from you, me and the lest of other editors then it will be published. We already requested it here, the main page is here. This how its articles look like here, and others are on main page. If it has some entries, I will then post on Meta. See last time I posted there and what the response was this. Thanks. Tumbuka Arch★★★ 17:31, 21 Julayi 2026 (UTC)
- @Tumbuka Arch, how can I help with this? Also, I have been uploading work from Mapillary of Malawi onto commons for more use on Wikimedia projects (here), and I will upload more. Thanks! CubanoBoi 17:41, 21 Julayi 2026 (UTC)
- @CubanoBoi wow! It is amazing! Thank you. I am not familiar with that. Were you actually in Karonga? Or it is just an app, navigation system or..? Tumbuka Arch★★★ 17:44, 21 Julayi 2026 (UTC)
- On Tumbuka Tumbuka Wiktionary, just add names of things, and thier meanings. Check on home, there are some examples. Tumbuka Arch★★★ 17:46, 21 Julayi 2026 (UTC)
- It is all work from https://www.mapillary.com/app/, which all work from it is under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International license, so it is free to upload onto commons. I use https://curator.toolforge.org/#/mapillary to upload batches onto commons. I do use Mapillary where I live in Florida, USA, but haven't uploaded much of it onto commons.

Cuba as a potential featured article
[kulemba source]Hi. I am letting you know the article Cuba, a page you created or significantly contributed to, may soon be marked as a Featured Article for the Tumbuka Wikipedia.
The reviewer, Viyowoyero-vya-Malaŵi, left the following message:
Putting grammatical errors aside, e.g. not putting a space after a comma or fullstop, I believe this article has potential as a Featured Article soon (if more information is added and errors fixed). Please let me know if you object.
