Greetings! This is a short note on Wikipedia Takes Mumbai II. Forty people turned up near the Oval Maidan at Churchgate at 8 am yesterday. The landmarks that were photographed included the Babulnath Temple, Nehru Science Centre, Opera House, St Thomas Cathedral, INS Vikrant and Yazdani Bakery. After the photos had been clicked many of the participants proceeded to Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education, TIFR where they were shown how to upload to Commons using both the usual upload process and by using the mediawiki-uploader mass upload script.
Nikita Belavate and Karthik Nadar put in a lot of work into the event. They helped many people contribute to the Commons while having a good time, and they deserve praise for making all of this happen.
Our heartfelt gratitude to Pranav Curumsey, Vickram Crishna, Dr Nagarjuna, Noopur Raval and Moksh Juneja for all the help and mentoring. Thanks to Shrinivasan T for mediawiki-uploader :) And apologies if I missed anyone out.
Do visit our maintenance category WTM, specially created for the event. 313 pictures have been uploaded so far.
Fantastic !!!
I was not there in this photography event. However, getting inspiration from these pictures, I have uploaded some of the pictures I have taken during WCI. These include some night pictures from Marine Drive and the beautiful glass pane in the ocnvocation hall. Hope you will like them. I will add a few more later on. You can find it here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:ListFiles/Sudhanwa_j
Will love to see more images from WTM.
Best regards

ps: Usually, we are supposed to ask for permission of sensitive places like temples, corporate houses etc. Even though it may be legally possible, usually, photography is not permitted/done in such places. A balance of "wasting a lot of time and energy (and equipment) with the cops and security people" and "a few pictures" is to be achieved.
