Hello fellow Indian Wikimedians,
Some of you may already be familiar with the WikiCup on the English
Wikipedia. For those who aren't: It's a content creation contest where
editors bring Wikipedia articles up to a high quality, take them through
the good article (GA) or featured article (FA) review process, and earn
points when they are promoted.
This year, starting July, we will see another such contest - but focused
only on the developing world. It will be the first edition of... the
*Developing
Countries WikiContest
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:2024_Developing_Countries_WikiConte…>*
!
Participants who bring articles and lists from developing countries to
"Good" or "Featured" status, or present a fact from them in the "Did You
Know" section of the English Wikipedia front page, will be awarded points,
and they will climb a Leaderboard and compete with other editors for the
top prize.
Not just article writers - participants who conduct GA and FA reviews of
articles from developing countries will also be given points.
Even if you are only a photographer, you can earn points by taking your
picture through the "featured picture" process!
I invite everyone in these mailing lists to participate. Append your name
to the signups page
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:2024_Developing_Countries_WikiConte…>
today!
Kind regards ~~~~

Dear All,
The Centre for Internet & Society (CIS) is seeking applications for the position of Research Associate, to support its Access to Knowledge (A2K) Programme.
The research associate is expected to support the larger goals of the programme, which include growth of Indian language Wikipedias, related Wikimedia projects and the contributor communities. Your primary responsibility will be to undertake research on selected topics relevant to key areas of programmatic work. For the present year, the focus will be on studying challenges and efforts to bridge the gender gap/bias on Indian language Wikimedia projects, exploring possibilities of collaboration with organizations working on building resources related to gender and sexuality, and assisting with a baseline study on Wikisource in India.
Given present restrictions on movement due to the pandemic, this would be a remote, full-time position until further notice. We encourage applications from individuals identifying as women, LGBTQIA+ and of gender non-conforming identity and sexual orientation. The deadline for applications is Friday, August 6, 2021.
Please read the detailed call for applications here: https://cis-india.org/jobs/call-for-research-associate-access-to-knowledge-…. & https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CIS-A2K/Team/Join.
