Wikipedia X update
by Pradeep Mohandas 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

hi, Another update on the Wikipedia X celebrations. January 16 falls as the day of the Mumbai Marathon 2011. We therefore have planned for an event in the morning rather than in the evening. Moksh is running for the Marathon and I think a few Wikipedians may be running as well. Hence the central Wikipedia X celebrations in Mumbai will be in the morning. We have two venues available - Marathi Granth Sangrahalaya at Dadar and the Coffee Beans and Tea Leaves in Bandra. We're now checking out venues at St. Xavier's College, a Parsi school near CST, YMCA and Brabourne Stadium (adjoining halls). If any of you have other venue suggestions that are good we'd like to consider them in advance. We hope to finalize the venue in another day or two. warm regards, Pradeep Mohandas

Wikipedia X celebrations in Mumbai
by Pradeep Mohandas 20 Dec '10

20 Dec '10

hi, This is just an update. At the end of the last Wikipedia meetup, Kundan Amitabh, Vivek Cherian, Moksh Juneja and I have started to look for a venue for the tenth anniversary celebrations of wikipedia. We are checking out the following venues - a school opposite CST railway station at Fort, a Sahitya Akademi building in Dadar, YMCA in Mumbai Central and Ravindra Natya Mandir at Prabhadevi. After checking out these venues, we hope to meetup once to decide on the course of the celebrations for the tenth anniversary of Wikipedia in Mumbai. We hope this selected venue becomes the place for the central celebration for tenth anniversary. In addition, we would also like to encourage others to hold their own celebrations of Wikipedia - in their workplace, in their schools or colleges or in their institutions. We only request you to please not keep these between 4:30 pm and 9 pm on January 15, 2010 when we will be holding the central tenth anniversary event. As a support for such events, please feel free to use: http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumbai to LIST YOUR EVENTS. This way, we think we would be able to have one central celebration between 4:30 pm and 9 pm on January 15, 2010 whilst also having other events under the umbrella of events. Your suggestions and ideas are welcome. warm regards, Pradeep Mohandas

Fwd: [WikiX-l] Truth in numbers

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jimmy Wales <jwales(a)wikia-inc.com> Date: 16 December 2010 18:24 Subject: Re: [WikiX-l] Truth in numbers To: Planning for WP 10th anniversary <wikix-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> I would just like to repeat that I think that this film should *not* be screened at Wikimedia 10th events. Many Wikipedians were offended by it when it showed at Wikimania. Liam Wyatt spoke up to say that he felt "attacked" by the film. It portrays completely ludicrous critics as if they are valid. (The guy from The Register appears in the film to be a serious journalist, but if you know his coverage of wikipedia, it has been extremely tabloid and conspiracy-theorist in nature). Rather than focussing attention on the wonderful community, the film leaves a sad and bitter taste in the mouth, is demeaning to volunteers, and rehashes debate points that are 5 years old. The world has moved on beyond Andrew Keen's pseudo-arguments. --Jimbo On 12/15/10 8:07 PM, Samuel Klein wrote: > An update for people interested in previewing or screening Truth in Numbers: > > Email info(a)crowdstarter.com with your interest.

hi, Some good news from Israel. warm regards, Pradeep User:prad2609 ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Itzik Edri <itzik(a)infra.co.il> Date: 13 December 2010 00:51 Subject: [WikiX-l] Fwd: [Internal-l] Wikipedia 10th Anniversary Commemorative Postmark To: wikix-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Cc: Asaf Bartov <asaf.bartov(a)gmail.com> ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Asaf Bartov <asaf.bartov(a)gmail.com> Date: Sun, Dec 12, 2010 at 9:16 PM Subject: [Internal-l] Wikipedia 10th Anniversary Commemorative Postmark To: "Local Chapters, board and officers coordination (closed subscription)" <internal-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Hello, everyone. I am pleased to announce, on behalf of Wikimedia Israel, that Israel Post (the Israeli monopoly postal service) will be stamping all items passing through several major post offices in Tel Aviv and in Haifa with a special *Wikipedia 10th Anniversary postmark*. You can get an idea of what it might look like (Hebrew Wikipedians are still working on the design) here: http://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%95%D7%99%D7%A7%D7%99%D7%A4%D7%93%D7%99%D7%… In addition to the anniversary, a _second_ special postmark will be stamped on all through Wikimania 2011, in August! <http://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%95%D7%99%D7%A7%D7%99%D7%A4%D7%93%D7%99%D7%…>To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time Wikipedia is featured on postal materials. Is that correct? Dedicated philatelists and stamp-collectors among you (and your respective communities) may want to make arrangements to have something postmarked. In addition, we'll try to have some stamped items to give away. This cool way of marking the anniversary is the work of Wikimedia Israel member Liron Dorfman, who's done excellent outreach work with Israel Post. Cheers, and happy holidays, Asaf Bartov Wikimedia Israel -- Asaf Bartov <asaf.bartov(a)gmail.com> _______________________________________________ Internal-l mailing list Internal-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/internal-l _______________________________________________ WikiX-l mailing list WikiX-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikix-l

Contributing stories for the 10th anniversary
by Bishakha Datta 12 Dec '10

12 Dec '10

A Community Communications Kit<http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_Communications_Kit>is being created for the 10th anniversary celebrations. Quoting from this: "The first—and most important—thing we can do right now is tell our own stories <http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Stories> in our own words and encourage others who care about our work to do the same. Over the past 10 years, what has Wikipedia come to mean to the world? How will it impact the next ten years? If you don't have a blog or aren't comfortable sharing your story with media, you can include it here<http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Stories> ." Hope we'll see some stories and contributions from India! Cheers Bishakha

Should we do something similar for Mumbai too? Bishakha ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Srikanth Lakshmanan <srik.lak(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, Dec 7, 2010 at 2:38 PM Subject: [Wikimedia-in-blr] Wikipedia:TEN Celebrations To: "Mailing list for Wikimedians / Wikipedians in Bangalore, India" < wikimedia-in-blr(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Hi all, 10th anniversary celebrations of Wikipedia is on 15th Jan 2011 and most of you must be knowing we are planning for some celebrations in Bangalore as well. This is a place holder thread where I would request you all to put forth your ideas. We are meeting this Sunday and planning for this is part of the agenda. But it would be better we start the discussion here and then take over in the coming regular monthly meetup. This will also help us get ideas from people who are unable to attend the coming meetup. http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangalore is pretty much empty now, but IMO would be nice to be have something by this weekend.
