Thank you Noopur for your prompt reply and further information. Let me try my best to be there as one of the helping hands. Eventually, I will be in Bhavnagar, a couple of surrounding towns and especially interior Gir and its countryside for about a week (or little less than that) starting second week of jan-2012. Although, the visit will cover a little personal socializing, a chance to organize such an event will be a fruitful idea if it's convenient for the fellow at Bhavnagar who is interested. Let me communicate to Arnav as well over email in the meantime, and will be glad if things go through. Thank you once again, please take utmost care and kind regards, - Nilesh

Dear Nilesh, I guess you can still help by supporting us online. In thew few days to come after the Wiki takes Ahmedabad, we will have problems with categorising or people who have uploaded images without categories etc. I hope you can sign up as an online volunteer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Takes_Ahmedabad.

Also, I spoke to Arnav, there is someone in Bhavnagar who wants to do a similar thing. He is not a wikimedian. Can you guys mentor him online and help organize? Warmly Noopur

Hello Anirudh and Noopur,

Just back from a hectic trip, and glad to learn about some developments and news, albeit i seem to have missed a few things, importantly a meeting between Anirudh and myself that was anticipated between us on Monday. It was just great talking to you Anirudh that day, but was away on a very short notice for some documentation and could not turn up at once for the Monday.

Well Noopur, I had a fairly lengthy follow-up to be shared with you and Anirudh regarding Photowalk including the archaeological-architectural copyrighted material (photographs-documentation) lying and being plying at my end since long time, other than discussing the Wiki-Academy. And while going through the Wiki-AMD mails, it's delight you folks and the event are on your way already, to go. Coming few days, at least till 1st Jan., things have turned tricky for me, but well, if virtually still, while negotiating through emails, if my any kind of help be anticipated, please let me know. Wishing you guys success and great time ahead, in the meantime!

Dear all, I take great pride and joy in announcing Wikipedia takes Ahmedabad on January 3, 2012. As a great start to the event, we had a new volunteer join us and make our logo. He is very excited to have discovered Commons and has offered his help for all events in future. We are coordinating it thru FB group and event page and details are listed on Wiki here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Takes_Ahmedabad

You can join and invite your friends here: http://www.facebook.com/groups/wpabad/

Please do give us your suggestions on how to make this event a success :) Look forward to your best wishes!

Thank you, Warmly Noopur
