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

Greetings everyone,
I've planned for series of edit-a-thons i n India, in the coming year i.e.
2018. I've planned for 8 Edit-a-thons (5 Wikipedia, 2 Wikidata and 1
Wikisource) across India under the title "Edit-a-thon series 2018 (India)".
The primary aim to conduct these events to activate the Wikimedia
communities all over India, especially in regions we hardly have any
communities, like the Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, North-eastern states etc. and
also give a kick-start to the less imparted projects such as Wikidata and
Wikisource for the Indian Wikimedia community. Asaf from WMF has already
given a boost to Wikidata by conducting a national-wide tour. I would to
extend this to communities which were unable to receive Asaf's visit.
In this context, I've applied for grant under *Project Grant *under Round 2
2017 schedule. The application is located at https://goo.gl/NQh3JE. Please
review and endorse my proposal kindly.
Regards,
Krishna Chaitanya Velaga.
