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 ------------------------------------------------------

If you would like to deposit cash/outstation cheques into Chapter SBI Bank account, at SBI branches, please add ₹25/- as collection charges. However it is advised to transfer the amount through NEFT as the charges are much lower, and helps in expediting the process. Membership forms are as follows: For individuals: http://wiki.wikimedia.in/File:WikimediaChapterMembershipFormIndividual.pdf For institutions: http://wiki.wikimedia.in/File:WikimediaChapterMembershipFormInstitution.pdf The duly completed membership application along with payment instrument/or details of payment needs to be sent to Chapter office: Wikimedia Chapter, No. 194, 2nd ‘C’ Cross, Domlur, 2nd Stage, Bangalore - 560071.

The typical identity documents acceptable are: (i) Voter ID (ii) Passport (iii) PAN card (iv) Driving License (v) Aadhaar Card The Chapter membership committee will endeavour to process all applications within four weeks. WMC reserves the right to reject membership applications, with reason. In such cases, if payment is already made, the same will be refunded without any interest for the intervening period otherwise, the payment instrument (Cheque/DD) will be returned. However, the Rules and Regulations of the Wikimedia Chapter provide for appeal in such cases in Article IV-1. “In cases where the Executive Committee does not approve the application for membership of a person, said person may appeal to the General Body at the next Annual General Meeting.” Kindly let me know if you have any queries. Regards, Krishna C V.

It is being run for the second time from this year because we heard from you a desire to run it again out of excitement. Librarians, community members, and affiliates are encouraged to make 1Lib1Ref [their own]. So whether we call this 1Lib1Ref May, 1Lib1Ref for the Southern Hemisphere, or 1Lib1Ref Strikes Back, the point is the excitement is building again, and we'd like you to be a part of it. If you would like host a session at a local library, here are some materials for you: 1.) Helpful multimedia (logos, videos, flyers, stickers)<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:1lib1ref> 2.)

Read the 1Lib1Ref 2018 January report and learnings<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_Wikipedia_Library/1Lib1Ref/Lessons/2018>.

[Featured Wikimedian] April 2018
by Krishna Chaitanya Velaga 04 Apr '18

04 Apr '18

Greetings, I am happy to introduce you to the Featured Wikimediam for April 2018, Sangram Keshari Senapati (User:Ssgapu22<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/Ssgapu22>) from Odia Wikimedia community. Sangram is an active Odia Wikimedian from Bhadrk, Odisha. Sangram was introduced to Wikipedia by his senior at college. He later signed up, and created two articles on English Wikipedia. Upon knowing about Odia Wikipedia, he started contributing to it. But as his writing skills were not good, he used to proofread works on Odia Wikisource, and from that experience he learnt the exact pattern of writing in Odia. He recalls that users MKar and Psubhashish greatly helped him during his initial days. >From his contributions, it can be said that Sangram is an ambassador of #100Wikidays challenge. After having participated in Rathajatra Edit-a-thon, Nabakalebara Edit-a-thon, and Wikipedia Asian Month in 2016 & 2017, he decided to regularly commit himself towards improving the coverage of information on Odia Wikipedia. His first challenge was #100WikiWomanDays<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Ssgapu22/100WikiWomenDays>, which he started on 8 March 2017 i.e. International Women's Day. Having successfully completed it on 15 June, he took up another #100Wikidays<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Ssgapu22/100wikidays(2nd_Challenge)> on 13 July. Immediately after its completion 20 October, he took up his third challenge<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Ssgapu22/100wikidays(3rd_Challenge)> on 21 October, and completed it on 28 January 2018. As this journey continues, he is now amid of his fourth Challenge<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Ssgapu22/100wikidays(4th_Challenge)>, which was started on 29 January. With these, he aspires to complete his WikiYear some day. Sangram is a graduate in Computer Science and Engineering, and is now working as an editor at an Odia magazine. He also an avid photographer, and maintains a photography club. He advocates that new editors need to focus on learning the rules of Wikipedia, and contribute to good quality articles. Wishing him all the best to to complete his WikiYear; Best, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga on behalf of Wikimedia India
