With email & phone number available in the ealier page ( http://ten.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hyderabad,_India&diff=prev&oldid… ) , it may be a good idea for someone from the hyd wikicommunity or the chapter to reach them and tell the changes. We should be extra careful in those bogus events with an eye on either foundation grant or free merchandise.

Fwd: [Internal-l] W10: Final Press Release

Help for translating this to Telugu so that the same can be provided to Telugu media is requested. Arjun ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Moka Pantages <mpantages(a)wikimedia.org> Date: Wed, Jan 12, 2011 at 10:12 AM Subject: [Internal-l] W10: Final Press Release To: "Local Chapters, board and officers coordination (closed subscription)" <internal-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Hi, everyone! Just three days until we celebrate a decade of Wikipedia: more than 300 events in 104 countries! Amazing. Below is the final release you are free to distribute anytime after 1PM UTC tomorrow, January 12. Again, feel free to edit or change it anyway you like. It's for you to use however you need. Just so you know, Jay is going to send this out to press tomorrow at 1PM UTC. It's going out to the media list a few days early to make sure people have it in enough time to write something by Saturday. I'm personally so proud to be apart of this movement and love seeing everyone --press, everyday people, community members-- excited and celebrating. Congrats to you all! You do amazing work. Cheers, Moka Wikipedia Celebrates 10 Years of Free Knowledge Wikipedia users and contributors mark the project's first decade with events around the world San Francisco, January 15, 2011 -- On this day ten years ago, a website with a funny name invited people everywhere to come together to create a free encyclopedia. The initial results were underwhelming. The article "Astronomer" simply said: "Scientist whose area of Research is Astronomy." Sweden: "Country in Northern Europe. Inhabitants are called Swedes. Language spoken is Swedish. Capital is Stockholm." Physics: "Physics is a very broad subject." Following these humble beginnings, Wikipedia grew quickly, and 1,000 articles were written in less than a month. Over the next five years, many new language versions were launched, and Wikipedia began to surpass traditional reference sources in breadth and depth. The secret to its success: anyone can edit any article. In January 2006, Wikipedia volunteer Gareth Owen wrote on his user page: "The problem with Wikipedia is that it only works in practice. In theory, it's a total disaster." Wikipedia is now consulted by more than 400 million people every month. It provides instant access to high quality and in-depth information, free of charge and free of advertising. In the last decade, a vast and unique global volunteer community has come together to create more than 17 million articles in 270 languages, advancing the cause of free knowledge for every person on the planet. Today, January 15, the Wikipedia community is coming together in more than 200 locations all over the planet to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the free encyclopedia. From a conference in New York to a concert in Prague, from the launch of a new school project in Nairobi to a museum bootcamp in Amsterdam, from a beer-meet in Bucharest to a film screening in Tel Aviv, the events are organized by volunteers and Wikimedia chapters, as well as independent supporters. The events are open to participation by anyone and reflect the diversity of the community. Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia, recalled: "It's hard to imagine that it's been 10 years since I first edited Wikipedia. I remember that first day. I clicked on 'Edit' and I wrote 'Hello World', and that was the beginning of Wikipedia and all the things that have come since then. I want to thank everyone who has helped. I want to thank all the people who have edited Wikipedia, who have contributed to this great knowledge base. I want to thank everybody who is reading Wikipedia, who is really engaging with ideas and knowledge. That's what we made it for: we made it for you to read." Wikipedia is operated by the Wikimedia Foundation, a charitable non-profit organization established by Wales in 2003. It is entirely supported by donations, and just completed the most successful fundraiser in its history, with more than 500,000 individual donations totaling more than $16 million. Sue Gardner, Wikimedia Foundation Executive Director, has ambitious goals for the future. "We want to reach a billion people by 2015. We want to persuade more readers to edit. More women. More people from the Global South. We know that the more diverse the editing community becomes, the more comprehensive, accurate and rich the encyclopedia will be." Jimmy Wales joined her call to action: "Even though we've got millions of articles, even though we're in hundreds of languages, there's still a lot of work to do. So, I want everybody out there, if you've never edited Wikipedia, try it - just click 'edit'."

According to comScore Media Metrix, Wikipedia and the other projects operated by the Wikimedia Foundation receive 410 million unique visitors per month, making them the 5th most popular web property world-wide (Nov, 2010). Available in more than 270 languages, Wikipedia contains more than 17 million articles contributed by a global volunteer community of more than 100,000 people. Based in San Francisco, California, the Wikimedia Foundation is an audited, 501(c)(3) charity that is funded primarily through donations and grants. -- Cheers, Moka Moka Pantages 415.839.6885 x 635 @moka _______________________________________________ Internal-l mailing list Internal-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/internal-l

Re: [Wikimedia-in-hyd] [Wikimediaindia-l] Anniversary event in Hyderabad

I am surprised that no Wikimedia volunteer from Hyderabad has taken notice or objected to this. Similarly, as I had mentioned to Steven on his WP10 user talk page, the Bhopal event is being organized by a user who is faking his credentials to gain mileage out of the Wikimedia Movement's good name. More information available here: http://ten.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bhopal&oldid=11100 http://ten.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Steven_(WMF)&oldid=118… http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Arbitrarily0&oldid=4073… Yours sincerely, Anirudh Bhati 00 91 9328712208 Skype: anirudhsbh On Wed, Jan 12, 2011 at 1:12 AM, Steven Walling <swalling(a)wikimedia.org>wrote: > Hi everyone, > > So recently a Hyderabad event got created on ten.wikipedia.org, and I've > received some email about it.

Hi there, - Please make a clear cut decision and post it as soon as possible, i missed last month meetup too only because the venue and time were being discussed till the afternoon of the day of meetup and somehow i am getting mails a bit late than they are posted. - The other issue is the Telugu bloggers meet lasts for at least 2-2.5 hours and this week's discussion might take a bit longer time, which I would have to attend for sure. - At the same time I dont want to miss the wikipedia meetup as well. So, 5:00 or 5:30 would be ideal for me, Provided it takes some 10-15 minutes of time to travel from Yusufguda to Banjara Hills.(Which is possible) - But organisers please be sure that last minute changes to venue and time wont change. Plus make the agenda of the meetup specific so that we can make it a bit productive in the sense, people coming will have some intention and some before hand preparation.
