by Ananya Mondal 27 Apr '22

Hello all, It gives me immense pleasure to inform you all that three members of Wiki Loves Butterfly <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Butterfly>(WLB) team – Sourabh Biswas <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Sourabh.biswas003>, Atanu Bose <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Atanu_Bose_Photography> and Rajib Dey <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Butterflyrajib>, captured photographs of a live gynandromorph of *Athyma inara inara <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q33060639>* (Westwood, 1850) – Himalayan Colour Sergeant in Buxa Tiger Reserve <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buxa_Tiger_Reserve>, West Bengal <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Bengal> in the month of November 2021. A gynandromorph (synonymous with a sexual mosaic) is an organism that contains both male and female characteristics. This is an extraordinarily rare event that occurs in nature. This is the biggest achievement of this project so far to witness a live gynandromorph <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gynandromorphism> for the first time in India. I congratulate all team members for being witness to such a rare and unique natural phenomenon. *Diff link:* https://diff.wikimedia.org/2022/04/27/a-rare-live-gynandromorph-specimen-of… -- Regards,

Darjeeling FARC

Hi, The article Darjeeling in English Wikipedia is currently in Featured Article review. Couple of us users are trying to save the featured article status, although we are limited by our lack of time. While contributing to improve the narrative of the article is always welcome, we are also in need of informative/good quality images. If anyone is interested, can you please post some images in the talk page of Darjeeling article (preferred over directly adding in the article). Previously we lost featured article status for Kolkata and West Bengal, following several years of maintaining the status. It would be great if we have a bunch of observers for high importance and high quality articles, as inaccuracies are bound to creep in over time. Thanks you in advance, Regards, Dwaipayan Chakraborti -- Regards. Dwaipayan Chakraborti Mobile: 860-680-3333

Dear Wikimedians, We are happy to announce that the Indic MediaWiki Developers User Group will be organizing Indic Hackathon 2022, a regional event as part of the main hackathon taking place in a hybrid mode during 20-22 May 2022. The event will take place in Hyderabad. The event page can be seen at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Indic_Hackathon_2022. In this regard, we would like to invite community members who would like to attend in-person to fill out a form for scholarship applications by 17 April, which is available on the event page. Please note that the hackathon won’t be focusing on training of new skills, and it is expected that applications have some experience/knowledge contributing to technical areas of the Wikimedia movement. Please post on the event talk page <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Indic_Hackathon_2022> if you have any queries. Regards
