The Commons needs more good quality photographs of Kolkata. I welcome to<br>Mr. Rangan Datta, the list of the heritage buildings that given by him is<br>really useful to us. May i re-propose with the following points:<br>
<br>1. It is open to all, Wikimedians or non-wikimedians, anybody can<br>participate with camera or without camera.<br><br>2. We will meet at the CSTC bus stand of Esplanade, Kolkata at sharp<br>6:55 am on 18th December, 2011.<br>
<br>3. After having a cup of tea we will start to north up to Victoria<br>building, then turn left towards Dalhousie area up to Strand road, then<br>Aakasbani Bhaban and return to Chittada’s tea shop to have tea again with<br>
snacks. Total time required is about 2.5 to 3 hours.<br><br>4. I suggest please bring a note book and pen to write down the<br>details of whatever (s)he photographed for uploading purpose.<br><br>5. There will not be any subject bar.<br>
<br>6. We encourage uploading to Commons, but it is optional.<br><br>7. Please see the general guidelines at Wikimedia Commons:Image<br>guidelines:<br><a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Quality_images_guidelines" target="_blank">http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Quality_images_guidelines</a><br>
