[Wikimediaindia-l] Wikipedia XI 2012

I thought this is similar to a photowalk, where people instead of meeting in a room go around and take pics. I stand corrected.

Changing the topic since I felt Arnavs idea might be applicable on a national level. Wikipedia completes 11 years in January 2012 (January 15th if my memory serves me right). Last year there were 97 meetups nationwide to celebrate Wikipedia 10. How about having a National Wikimedia Photo Scavenger Hunt in India to celebrate Wikipedia 11? 




Im hoping something like this can tremendously increase photos from India to Commons.

There were 97 events on paper. I cannot recollect reading more than 10 reports. Practically we could say the number would have been around 20.Lets leave that aside.On the scavenger hunt, Tamil community already has one for 3 month long duration[1], we are also planning for Central Sitenotice for Indian IPs for 3-4 days in January. You could replicate the same, but be sure to add volunteer support based on the scale, otherwise it cant sustain,will have difficulties (Hey, didnt you learn that from WikiConference! :D)



Steps required for photo scavenger hunt.
1. Customize Upload Wizard, test it.2. Create help documents, FAQs / videos. [2][3]3. Create PR using media / social media.


4. Monitor for copyvios, tag them manually post verification.
 -- We are still on process to learn more -- :D
The above activities took us around 30-45 days by a small community.
