Cameroon lions in Mefou National Park

Salaam, I want to talk to you regarding this photo. It says that these Cameroon lions are in Mefou National Park. I know that the park is used as a shelter for primates like gorillas, and this photo is the only original source that I know of which says that there are lions in Mefou. Whenever I check other photos or sources of information about Mefou, all that I get is the impression that it's a fenced or protected area in a jungle with primates like gorillas, I see almost nothing about lions in Mefou, unlike for Bénoué and Waza National Parks. Leo1pard (talk) 16:58, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

Salaam,I was surprised too when I went in this park in 2013. It seems more like a zoo than a park. I went there to see gorillas and other kind of monkeys too but didn't see so much monkeys. I saw other animals in captivity. This lion is behind an iron grid wall and i shot it through the grid. --Fawaz.tairou (talk) 20:09, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

INSERTION DE LIENS INTERNES SUR LES PHOTOS

Bonjour Fawaz. Je voudrais savoir pourquoi l'insertion des lien certains internes ne marchent pas sur la description des photos. Par exemple l'insertion de liens internes parakou sur cette photo de parakou dont tu es l’auteur ne marchent pas. et pourtant parakou existe déjà. Mais cela m'affiche que parakou n'existe pas en lien interne. . il en est de même sur l'image de la place de l'étoile rouge de cotonou qui me dis que le lien sur Marxisme-léninisme n'existe pas lorsque je tente de le faire. Merci de m'aider à comprendre. Heureuse année 2019. Tout le meilleur pour toi.--Adoscam (talk) 15:22, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Monuments 2020 in Benin

Hi Fawaz.tairou, For Wiki Loves Monuments I am making sure the upload wizard and banner are working. To be able to enable this for countries, the website (landing page) of a country needs to be ready. Looking at Commons:Wiki Loves Monuments 2020 in Benin or w:fr:Projet:Wiki Loves Monuments 2020 au Bénin, I see no landing page. Is there no landing page yet or is it at another location? If it can be found at another location, please let me know.

If there is no landing page yet, you can re-use the 2019 landing page and update the page with 2020, etc.

If the landing page is ready, please let me know!

If there is no landing page, the Wiki Loves Monuments photo contest can't start. Thanks! Romaine (talk) 17:16, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
