Dear Sir,
The 'Kolkata Book Fair' has been organized by the 'Publishers &
Booksellers Guild' is one of the most prestigious and active cultural
event in India for last thirty five years. It is the world's largest
non-trade book fair, Asia's largest book fair and the most attended
book fair in the world. Other than books it houses television, radio
and other multimedia companies as well.
I think that, the presence of Wikipedia in physically to the coming
'Kolkata Book Fair 2012' will be a most valuable way to reach a very
large number of well learned persons to increase it's user growth.
It is learned from a verbal reliable source that in 2010 the stall
charge was about Rs. 500/- per squire feet. The minimum space allotted
of 100 sqft. Apart from the fair space there will be other costs (viz.
decorations, lights, projector & computers with mobile broadband etc)
involved to have the exhibition successfully.
I propose for consideration to make a twelve day show to the
'Wikimedia India Chapter' for the exhibition. The detail of the guild
is placed below:

Subject: [Wikimediaindia-l] Noteworthy Wikimedian Recognition
To: "Discussion list on Indian language projects of Wikimedia." <
wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Dear Wikimedians,
The traction for Wikimedia projects and content in Indian languages (and
Indian content in English) has been growing over the last decade thanks to
the passion and tireless contributions of several Wikimedians. We are
getting set for WikiConference India 2011 which is around the corner. The
Wikimedia Chapter Executive Committee (EC) and the Conference organising
team thought it is appropriate to recognize the most noteworthy
contributors to Indian language projects and Indian content in English
during the conference.
Arun Ramarathnam and Naveen Francis from the EC are leading this
initiative. The process for the recognition has been prepared and a well
diversified Jury is identified. Details of the process and the Jury are
enclosed for your perusal.
I would like to appeal to all of you to spare few minutes to think of
fellow wikimedians who made a significant difference over the first decade
of Wikimedia movement and nominate them for the recognition.
Further communication on the wiki based nomination form would follow from
the Jury. Please spread this communication across other relevant lists and
participate enthusiastically and help make this initiative, the first
collective effort to appreciate stellar contributions from the community a
success.
Cheers
Arjuna Rao Chavala

Wikimedia
Foundation article<http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The_India_Chronicles_%28150dpi%29.pdf>).
This has been made possible by the contributions of hundreds of Wikimedians
across various Wikimedia projects. WikiConference India 2011 is the first
conference and largest congregation of Wikimedians in India across
Wikimedia projects. The Wikimedia India chapter Executive committee

languages for their contributions.

the recognition (preferred). Self nominations are also allowed.

include content, Outreach and contributions in any other form.
- Nominations should be through a filled Nomination form on the Wikimedia
India wiki <http://wiki.wikimedia.in/>.
- Incomplete nominations will not be considered.
- The jury's decision would be final.
Eligibility Criterion

recognitions.
