13 July Mumbai bombings Article Help
by suyog vyawahare 14 Jul '11

14 Jul '11

HelloI have created an article on yesterdays bombings. Now few foreigners are proposing to rename this article to Mumbai 2011 bombings. Please oppose this on talk page. Please support me.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:13_July_2011_Mumbai_bombingsI am opposing it for following reasons1) Year 2011 has not yet ended so how can it be labeled as 2011 mumbai bombings? 2) What if there are more bombings in this year? Editors are saying that if new bombing happens then we will rename it to 13 july Mumbai bombings! Why to go to double work? 3) All outsiders are supporting no Indian comments on it!! Please Vote on it Suyog Vyawahare +919987135236

I seem to have missed this - User:World is an experienced Wikipedia editor based in Chicago (USA) and is currently on a visit to India. From: wheredevelsdare(a)hotmail.com To: wikimedia-in-mum(a)lists.wikimedia.org Subject: July Mumbai Meetup, WikiConference and Mumbai SIG Chairperson Date: Thu, 7 Jul 2011 11:59:44 +0000 Hiya, We need to decide on a date time and place for our July Meetup. The only two things on the agenda at the moment is noting the progress made with preparations for WikiConference 2011, Mumbai (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConference_India_2011) and the GLAM update. Kindly respond with whatever else you would like to be included in the agenda for this meet. User:World, whom I have worked with on a few WikiProjects over the years will be in Mumbai on July 20, 2011. If everyone is willing to have the meet-up on 20th evening (Wednesday), then User:World would be happy to attend the same. Further, as per the email forwarded to the Mumbai list by Pradeep, we will soon be have a Special Interest Group Sub-Committee for Mumbai appointed by the Wikimedia Chapter (India) and will have a Mumbai Chairperson. I propose to nominate Pradeep Mohandas (User:Prad2609) for the post of Chairperson, Mumbai SIG Sub-Committee. What are your feelings on this? If there are any other candidates/nominations we would appreciate the names coming forth on this list so we can decide on a consensus Mumbai candidate (Kindly note being a chapter member is a prerequisite for this). In case there is no consensus candidate then the Chapter Executive Committee will decide on this post. Follow us on Facebook: http://facebook.com/WikimediaMumbai Kind Regards, User:AroundTheGlobe

Fwd: [Wikimediaindia-l] Chapter Update - June 2011
by Pradeep Mohandas 07 Jul '11

07 Jul '11

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Gautam John <gautam(a)prathambooks.org> Date: 7 July 2011 16:07 Subject: [Wikimediaindia-l] Chapter Update - June 2011 To: "Discussion list on Indian language projects of Wikimedia." < wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Dear Wikimedia India Community, Last month, the Chapter has taken several steps to engage with the community towards building the Chapter further. Here are the highlights. 1. Membership drive to enroll members who will be able to both stand for elections and vote in the elections to the Executive Committee of the Chapter was completed on 23 Jun 2011. The membership stands at 64 as of 23-June-2011. We thank the community for having shown keen interest in getting membership in the Chapter. 2. A mailing list exclusively for members (wmin-members(a)googlegroups.com) is now operational. We encourage members to start using the mailing list for discussing topics of interest to members. 3. A wiki for members (http://members.wikimedia.in with 36 accounts as of 4 Jul 2011) is now operational. We request all members to intimate chapter their user-ids on Community wiki, to enable access for them on Members Wiki. Members can seamlessly access community wiki and Members wiki, with single login. We look forward to building an active members wiki, which can help in shaping the Chapter's plans. 4. Chapter decided to partner with the Mumbai and Pune Wiki-Communities to co-host the WikiConference India<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConference_India_2011> for this year. 5. Applied for a boot strap grant<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants_talk:WM_IN/Bootstrap_Grant> from the Wikimedia Foundation. 6. AGM is planned for 24th September, 2011 in Bangalore. We thank the community on the support extended to the Chapter so far. We would like to thank Arnav Chaudhary specifically for offering to set-up a platform for membership sign-ups and management<http://wiki.wikimedia.in/SW_for_Membership_management> and building a test site and several others from members and community in testing the prototype. We look forward to the community and members to volunteer for other projects <http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Projects:2011-12> as well and also support the chapter through donations<http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Donations>, as getting the funds from Foundation could take 3-4 months. Over the next few weeks, we will work towards forming city/language subcommittee<http://members.wikimedia.in/City_and_Language_Special_Interest_Group_subcom…> (for members only), defining the process for nominations and conduct of elections for vacancies in EC as well as making progress on projects<http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Projects:2011-12> . You can still register to be a member of the Chapter by using the [Individual Membership Form<http://wiki.wikimedia.in/File:WikimediaChapterMembershipFormIndividual.pdf>] along with either Cheque/DD payable at par at Bangalore or via online transfer. Please do send us the physical copy of the form, duly signed, to the Bangalore address of the Chapter. Look forward to your continued support Thank you. Best, Gautam on behalf of the Wikimedia Chapter.
