Volunteer coordinator for WikiProject Gujarat
by Ashwin Baindur 18 Feb '12

18 Feb '12

Dear friends, WikiProject Gujarat is one of the many Task Forces/daughter WikiProjects of WikiProject India on English Wikipedia, I am happy to report that we have new blood and fresh activity in WikiProject Gujarat for last few weeks. The participants of the last photothon are continuing to maintain the momentum gained from that event and we are seeing both results and new initiatives. Senior editors from Gujarat are doing their bit and mentoring the young folk. In this backdrop, it is my privilege to introduce Konarak Ratnakar, (User:Kondicherry) to the community. Konarak has been very active in Ahmedabad meetups and has agreed to promote WikiProject Gujarat on English Wikipedia as a volunteer coordinator. I request you all to join me in welcoming him and also to support him as he goes around reviving the WikiProject. Please note that WikiProject Gujarat, on English Wikipedia is not to be confused with the similar sounding Gujarati Wikipedia. With this, the number of volunteer coordinators on English Wikipedia goes up to three - self, BPositive, and now Kondicherry. The actual requirement is almost one hundred, that is how many departments/TFs/daughter WikiProjects we have! So if anybody would like the stewardship of any function in the WikiProject, be assured there is lots of opportunity and so please step forth and volunteer. Warm regards, Ashwin Baindur ------------------------------------------------------

Please sign up for WikiProject India if you are an English language Wikipedian (yes, English is an Indic language)
by Ashwin Baindur 16 Feb '12

16 Feb '12

I suddenly realised that amongst the guys who signed up for WikiProject India in Jan-Feb are such hardcore Wikipedians as RSrikanth05, Joyson Prabhu, Karthikndr & Sitush. Which brings me to the corollary - there are oodles of established Indian editors who are not yet members of WikiProject India! Gosh, guys please sign up! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_India/Members Warm regards, Ashwin Baindur ------------------------------------------------------

Hello friends, This is a link I recommend you to bookmark. http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Geographical_distribution_of_Indian_Wikipedians This list is useful for outreach & also whenever someone needs Wiki-Help in a particular city. It would be great if Wikipedians could update this list.:) We have the following completely unrepresented states/UTs: * Andaman & Nicobar Islands * Arunachal Pradesh * Assam * Chandigarh * Chhattisgarh * Dadra, Nagar & Haveli * Daman & Diu * Goa * Himachal Pradesh * Jammu & Kashmir * Jharkhand (AngPradesh is in Mumbai) * Lakshadweep * Manipur * Meghalaya * Mizoram * Puducherry * Punjab (oye, ye ki hoya!) * Nagaland * Uttar Pradesh * Uttarakhand Okay, all you admins, please update your status (Mikey my boy, that means you too)! Abroad, we dont have Indic Wikipedians listed for: * Africa * Australia * Asia (other than India) * Middle East * North America * South America Unless you would like to stay off list, of course that's acceptable too. May I also request Tinu / list admins to please forward it all the Indic language & city Wikimedia lists. We need this resource to be as comprehensible as possible. Warm regards, Ashwin Baindur ------------------------------------------------------

Re: [Wikimedia-IN-AMD] [Wikimediaindia-l] Wikimania 2012 - scholarship applications, Deadline : 16 Feb 2012
by Tinu Cherian (Wikimedia India) 31 Jan '12

Cross-posting to other lists. Hi all, Wikimania is the annual international conference of Wikimedians , jointly hosted by the local team ( usually local chapter) and the Wikimedia Foundation. The previous conferences were held in Frankfurt, Germany (2005), Boston, USA (2006), Taipei, Taiwan (2007), Alexandria, Egypt (2008), Buenos Aires, Argentina (2009), Gdan'sk, Poland (2010), and Haifa, Israel (2011). This year, it is to be held in Washington DC, United States of America, on July 12-14 , 2012. http://wikimania2012.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page <http://wikimania2012.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page> I have attended the Wikimanias in Gdansk and Haifa, along with several other Wikipedians from India. http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Wikimania2011 <http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Wikimania2011> I highly recommend everyone to apply and attend Wikimania ! Like every year, The Wikimedia Foundation is offering a limited number of scholarships to offset the cost of select individuals' attendance at Wikimania. Both full and partial scholarships are available for Wikimania 2012: Full scholarships will award round trip travel, dorms accommodations and registration. Partial scholarships will subsidize up to 300EUR of travel expenses. Scholarship recipients have to bear themselves the additional costs of taxis, visa & travel agent charges etc. More Information : http://wikimania2012.wikimedia.org/wiki/Scholarships <http://wikimania2012.wikimedia.org/wiki/Scholarships> Apply here : https://secure.wikidc.org/wm/schols/ <https://secure.wikidc.org/wm/schols/> Deadline : *16 Feb 2012* Around 30 % of the scholarship are allocated to Asia & Pacific, so there are more chances of scholarship applications from India to be selected. :) Please note that the selection is mostly based on the merit of the applications. One of the common mistakes that Wikimedians in India make is that we aren't enough vocal of what we do. So please do write in detail about your Wikimedia activities. Please feel free to forward this to various language and city mailing lists and encourage other Wikimedians to apply. All the best wishes! Regards Tinu Cherian

[Wikimediaindia-l] [Wikipedia-gu] Report on small meetup in Ahmedabad
by Arnav Sonara 27 Jan '12

27 Jan '12

Hello everyone, On 24th January 2012, a small meetup was organized in L.D. College of Engineering Ahmedabad, I thank Kothari Harsh and Shah Smit from the college to organize this on such short notice (less than 24 hours). After the successful photo walk and a small Wiki 11 celebration, I thought this would help out in sustaining a community there too. The meetup was attended by 7 people in total, I gave them a small presentation of Wikipedia and idea of how exactly the community works and what does a community do. I also shared my experiences as a CA in IEP and as an editor on EN and GU WP too for past 1 year. After the presentation we had a good discussion on how they can help building a strong community from Gujarat, Kartik Mistry shared his experiences of working collaboratively in FOSS and Debian Community. He blogged <http://kartikm.wordpress.com/2012/01/25/meeting-with-arnav/> about this meetup too. I also showed them Gujarat Transliteration<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:Narayam/Guajrati/Transliterati…>and Gujarati Inscript<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:Narayam/Gujarati/InScript>of Extension:Narayam which needs help, Kartik has agreed to help us in this. Thanks. I also showed them the list of places of interest in Ahmedabad which could be developed as articles User:AhsLin/Ahmedabad, which Ashwin created and asked them to start helping out in this too. I request everyone from the community and WMF to help them as and when required, and lets have one strong community from Gujarat too. Thanks. -- Thanks Arnav (ricku).

Hi everyone,I have proposed a merger between articles (1) Kankaria and Nagina Wadi as the latter one has very little information and is inside the former one, and (2) List of universities in Gujarat and List of institutions of higher education in Gujarat because more specified inofmation is already there in second article.Do comment your opinions.Konarak
