[Wikimediaindia-l] Re: Subhas Chandra Bose's 125th birth anniversary Wikimedia celebration

Hello all, This is a follow-up mail for the campaign commemorating the 125th birth anniversary of Subhas Chandra Bose. This 2-years long campaign has encompassed Wikimedia Commons, Wikisource and Wikidata, generating resources and reference materials for Wikipedians to improve articles on Subhas Chandra Bose and related topics. We have uploaded 862 files <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Media_files_uploaded_during_Subhas_Chandra_Bose%27s_125th_birth_anniversary_Wikimedia_celebration> so far on Wikimedia Commons which includes - pronunciation audio files of Bengali words related to Subhas Chandra Bose. See a file <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:LL-Q9610_(ben)-Titodutta-%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BF_%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE.wav> for example - photographs from a small museum in Kurseong district of West Bengal which happened to be a residence of Bose family, See a file <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Early_photograph_of_Bose_family_displayed_at_Netaji_Museum_and_Centre_for_Studies_in_Himalayan_Languages_Society_%26_Culture.jpg> for example (done) - scanned files of Azad Hind newspaper, which was the organ of the Provisional Government of Free India. See a file <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Azad_Hind_-_English_-_Vol._2_-_No._20_-_1945-01-23.pdf> for example (almost done) - scanned copies of documents declassified by the Government of India and other governments like the UK etc. See a file <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Netaji_Papers_MEA-14(13)FEA-56_(Part_B)_(Netaji_Enquiry_Committee_Report,_Evidence_of_Witnesses,_Report_from_the_Japanese_Government).pdf> for example (focus for this year) There are also campaigns on two Wikisource projects - A proofread campaign on Bengali Wikisource on books written by Bose or written about Bose.
