Dear All,
Wikimedia India is happy to report its annual activities undertaken in the
previous financial year 2018-19, beginning 1st April , 2018 until 31st
March 2019. All activities undertaken have been self-financed by different
Wikimedia India members either individually or collectively and not a
single penny of community funds have been spent on conducting any
programmatic activity.
No Wikimedia Foundation Grants like Rapid Grant, Project Grant etc have
been applied & by following with the real Wikimedia Culture, all Wikimedia
India members in their individual capacity have taken to finance India
Chapter Activities for Capacity Developments, Awareness, Partnerships, etc.
As you all are aware, Wikimedia India continues to undergo a financial
crisis because it cannot receive any funding [1] from its primary donor
Wikimedia Foundation(USA). However, Wikimedia India continues to do
whatever it can, with its current constraints, to take the Wikimedia
movement forward in India.
Wikimedia India looks forward to the community review on its activities
hosted and more importantly on expectations from the larger community, and
suggestions on how they want Wikimedia India to perform this financial
year, holding that funding's may remain frozen.
*Key Points*
- Facilitated first-ever Library Partnership in India with Sameeksha
Trust Journal, Economic & Political Weekly under The Wikipedia Library.
- Partnered on several Wikimedia Global Programs in India such as
WikiGap, Wiki Asian Month etc.
- Continued hosting several Wikimedia India programs such as
WikiAcademy, Wikimedia India Events, Featured Wikimedian of The Month.
- Continued working along with CIS-A2K on different projects and most
importantly on Project Tiger, a joint initiative between Wikimedia India
and CIS-A2K. [2]

Hi,
As an organiser of the January 2019 conference and in concurrence with
Satdeep YES Hindi Wikisource is on the agenda and a specific slot would be
allocated on the last day. In addition to that, we intend (at planning
stage not shared with wider community) to have online sessions on
Wikisource in December as a pre-conference workshops. They would largely
comprise basics of copyright, how to effectively proof-read, uploading file
from IA amongst others.
I would request all editors from Indian Wikisource community to come
forward and assist us in this mission. Your direction is key.
Abhinav

Dear all,
I am happy to announce that the applications for "TWL Con (2019 India)"[1],

Among several other programs, it also helps knowledge professionals share
their collections with the public. TWLCon (2019 India) is an upcoming
conference to increase awareness about TWL to Wikimedians in India and
discuss strategising TWL activities in India. This event has been primarily
designed to understand the needs and document the insights from experienced
Wikimedians about libraries/sources (references) in India. More about the
event may be referred from the event page.
The application form is at: https://goo.gl/forms/NvwYttEeCFfl30rG3; last

Subject: [Wikimediaindia-l] Featured Wikimedian of the Month - November 2018
To: Wikimedia India Community list <wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Dear Community
After a small break, I'm glad to announce the Featured Wikimedian of the
Month for November 2018, Mr. Varun Chandola.
Varun Chandola with the User Name ArmouredCyborg is a Hindi Wikimedian from
Bageshwar, Uttrakhand. He primarily edits on Hindi Wikipedia along with
English Wikipedia and also tries to document Uttrakhand by uploading
pictures on Commons. Varun started editing Wikipedia since mid 2016 and has
never looked back. He has almost 12k global edits and his created page(s)
have turned into the featured article(s) on Hindi Wikipedia. The Presently
featured article on Kashipur is also written by him. He endeavors to reduce
the number of one-line articles or stubs on Hindi Wikipedia to the lowest
number possible in the near future, expanding articles and turning them
into quality is equally important as creating new articles.
Varun's journey started on Wikipedia by editing articles on Indian Music.
He has a large collection of Music DVDs and to catalog his music library,
he started searching for information on the Internet. When he couldn't find
all the information at one place he started editing and putting the same on
Wikipedia. This turned him into a Wikipedian.
Varun presently works for Military Engineer Services and is based in
Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh.
You can find his profile on our website
http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Home
If you know any such amazing & hard working community members, who deserved
to be our next featured Wikimedian, please write to me at
yohannvt(a)wikimedia.in
Regards,
Yohann Thomas
