Thank you for creating [[Daigle, Maine]].  It's definitely a real place (see [http://geonames.usgs.gov/apex/f?p=136:3:0::NO:3:P3_FID,P3_TITLE:564738,Daigle]), and it had a post office.

I'm working on a study of political motivations and how they affect editing. I'd like to ask you to take a survey. The survey should take 5 minutes. Your survey responses will be kept private. Our project is documented at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics.

I am asking you to participate in this study because you are a frequent editor of pages on Wikipedia that are of political interest. We would like to learn about your experiences in dealing with editors of different political orientations.

<center>'''''<u>(25/06/2021)</u>'''''</center>
We hereby want to officially welcome new volunteers who have recently joined the collaborative project and have volunteered to work in [[WP:NIGERIA]]. The arrival of new volunteers is often associated with the confusion of “what to do” on their part, it is then behoove of us to treat them with care, guide them, and protect them from the general pitfalls a new editor would most usually fall into. We are also admonished to clean up after them if they err and encourage them, most especially when they are genuine editors with potential to do good work not just for us, but for the community as a whole.  Once more, we hereby thank all new editors who have volunteered to work here and hope they enjoy their stay here. 
<center><u>'''''Requests for uncreated articles'''''</u> <center>'''''<u>(24/1/2020)</u>'''''<center>
</center>Greetings & a great weekend to you all. It would be great if the (Requests for uncreated articles) section in our wiki project can be attended to & at least one article be created this weekend as some requests have been pending since 2016. I believe this would be pivotal to the encyclopedia as a whole & a means to get editors who have gone inactive to revive their Wikipedia activities.
