Niraj,

1)You sent a form with "renewal" option ticked and membership ID field empty.  We were unable to process it and replied saying the membership form is incomplete, and please resubmit a complete form with member ID. From your current mail to the India list (your reply to yohann), I understood your mistake was not leaving an incomplete member ID field but ticking "renewal" instead of "new". 

2) No the EC does not process all the membership forms. The Executive Manager at Bangalore usually does this work. But the EC does share the workload whenever possible. In your case (and all the other forms the Wikipedia Pune Club handed over to Sudhanwa), I was involved in processing because I was at Bangalore at that time and was helping our manager with the processing work. That is the reason I am able to respond to this mail personally. If you had directed these queries in a reply to the mail from members@wikimedia.in mail id, this would have been cleared up easily and quickly.

3) As indicated in the official communication, you can submit a complete and correct membership application again. Or if you want to take back your application and want us to return your money, then mail to the members id in detail and we will take care of it. This is the last time I will reply to you on this issue in this list. This is a public community mailing list and not the chapter's administrative channel. Please direct your queries there.

Hello Bala Sir,

A very good sunday morning,


1)

Can I get a reference regarding "From your current mail I understand you have made a mistake while filling the form", which mail exactly to be precise?

Or is it the case that the exec council inspects all the incoming applications and that is why Sir you are in a position to understand the mistake?

Lets consider it sorted for a while and as stated by the mail I received

" Hello Mr. Suryawanshi,

We have received your membership application found it to be incomplete
with the following field(s) missing:

1. Current membership no.

We are therefore not in a position to accept this application and are
unable to process it. This does not stop you from making a fresh fully
completed application in the future.

Thanking you,
Wikimedia India Chapter "

here I'm indicated to apply freshly for the same.

Is there any way I can get a refund of the reg. fees which I had submitted with the form, in the given case where my form is denied?
I would be more than glad if at all there is a way that I could get the same.

please kindly revert me to the concerned email address.


2)

Sir I wished the applicants would receive a email about their application status, since Mr. Yohann didn't get one and that's the exact reason why he was compelled to ask a question.

In my case as I did get an email, and it would have been a case showing extreme proficiency if the finances were considered regarding refund.

Niraj,

1) Your application had the option "renewal" checked and the member id space left blank. That is the reason you received such a mail. And that mail also clearly stated that you could send in another application. From your current mail I understand you have made a mistake while filling the form. In such cases WM IN cannot correct forms filled by members. Please send a fresh application form.

2) We don't publish membership information in a public forum. Members are free to self identify themselves, but we refrain from doing so unless they wish us to. Yohann sent a mail to this list and Srikanth pointed him to the correct avenue to address his query. This is not us being callow. This is us being professional.

3) There are established channels of communication ([hidden email]) to where you can direct your membership related queries. That is where WM IN EC members or the Executive Manager can reply to you in an official capacity. We would have been more than happy to clarify your queries. Please direct any future queries there.

We would be glad if anyone can help us over this and not by someone who is
callow enough to say "The India mailing list isn't exactly a place to ask
such questions as it'd be a privacy violation".

Niraj, no personal attacks, please.
