Dear Kalyan,
Thank you for a much hoped and encouraging proposal for the ‘Photowalk’!
The Commons needs more good quality photographs of Kolkata. I welcome to Mr. Rangan
Datta, the list of the heritage buildings that given by him is really useful to
us. May i re-propose with the following points:
1. It is open to all, Wikimedians or
non-wikimedians, anybody can participate with camera or without camera.
2. We will meet at the CSTC bus stand of Esplanade,
Kolkata at sharp 6:55 am on 18th December, 2011.
3. After having a cup of tea we will start to north
up to Victoria building, then turn left towards Dalhousie area up to Strand
road, then Aakasbani Bhaban and return to Chittada’s tea shop to have tea again
with snacks. Total time required is about 2.5 to 3 hours.
4. I suggest please bring a note book and pen to
write down the details of whatever (s)he photographed for uploading purpose.
5. There will not be any subject bar.
6. We encourage uploading to Commons, but it is
optional.
7. Please see the general guidelines at Wikimedia Commons:Image
