Yes. It is a list creation request. I'm about sending you a mail to that effect.

With kind regards,

I just got this email in my WMF contractor email inbox:

Hi , Alex Monk

First off, I want to appreciate your good work. You are such an asset to the WMF.
Could you please help to create a mailman mailing list (Nigeria@lists.wikimedia.org) for the Wikimedia Usergroup Nigeria (https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_User_Group_Nigeria). This mailing list is the official mailing list of Wikimedia Usergroup Nigeria. I created the task already (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T120362).  Please, remember to assign me (User:Wikicology) as the mailing lists administrator. My email address is "Reachout2isaac@gmail.com".

With kind regards,

Olatunde isaac,

Secretary, WUGN,
Manager, Wikipedia Education Program Nigeria.

WMF doesn't pay me to create mailing lists - I don't even have the password to do it anyway. Please don't contact that address unless it's actually relevant to my VE work. And don't take such requests out of Phabricator into individual emails either. Someone else is needed to create lists.

Thanks, Alex. I'm terribly sorry to bother you. Please accept my sincere apology.

Olatunde Isaac.

Claiming this for now, will circle back later today checking on a couple things.

On behalf of the Affiliations Committee, I can verify that they are a recognized user group. Per AffCom's resolution on May 2015, we support this list creation, but would recommend "Wikimedia-NG" as the list name to follow the format currently used by other affiliates and supported by AffCom and the list naming guidelines (as we understand them).

Thanks Varnent,

Wikicology: Are you ok with Wikimedia-NG as the mailing list name? I'm a bit uncomfortable with doing Nigeria@

would recommend "Wikimedia-NG" as the list name to follow the format currently used

+1, nigeria@ would be inconsistent with everything. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Standardization

I'm ok with it Jalexandra. Many thanks, Vernent and Jalexandra. With kind regards.

This has been created. You should have an email in you box with the initial password. I encourage you to share that password with at least 1 other person (and add them to the list of admin emails) you can see some information on how to be a mailing list admin on meta if you haven't been one before. Please reopen/let us know if you have any issues.
