[Press] The Hindu : "Encyclopaedia on the web"
by CherianTinu Abraham 28 Mar '11

28 Mar '11

*The Hindu : "Encyclopaedia on the web"* http://www.thehindu.com/life-and-style/kids/article1573772.ece *Ten years ago Jimmy Wales had an idea. The idea snowballed into something so versatile and innovative that it is almost a sensation.* *Wikipedia is 10. In his short and simple video clip, on January 15, 2011, Jimmy Wales said: “Hello I am Jimmy Wales and I am with Wikipedia and today we are celebrating the 10th anniversary of Wikipedia. It is hard to imagine that is has been 10 years since I first edited Wikipedia.* * * *I remember that first day. I put it on ‘edit' and I wrote ‘Hello world,' and that was the beginning of Wikipedia and all the things that have come since then.* * * *Today we have got millions of articles in hundreds of languages. These days about 400 million people a month visit the website. And that is just an astounding thing to have happened if you really think about the impact on our culture; it's staggering. And it's all thanks to you. I want to thank everybody who has helped. I want to thank all the people who have helped, all the people who have edited Wikipedia, who have contributed in this way. I want to thank the people who are reading Wikipedia, who are really engaging with ideas and minds. That's why we made it ... we made it for you to read.* * * *And I have a little bit of a call for action ... a little bit of a request for everybody. Even though we have got millions of articles, even though we are in hundreds of languages, we have still a lot of work to do.* * * *So I want everybody out there if you have never edited Wikipedia, to try it. Give a try. Click on ‘edit.' If you see some problem, fix it for us. We really appreciate it.* * * *And well, happy birthday Wikipedia!”* * * *… officially, Wikipedia “is a multilingual, web-based, free-content encyclopaedia project,” with its name derived from the word-combination of “Wiki” (from the Hawaiian “Wiki” meaning quick”) and “encyclopaedia”. Its articles are cross-linked with other related pages that have more information. It is a collaborative effort and the articles are written by, most often, anonymous Internet volunteers who do it for free.* * * *Because of its nature, Wikipedia operates using what are called “five pillars” or “fundamental principles”. Important among these are: that an article has a neutral view, is accurate and has facts that can be easily verified. Personal opinions are not acceptable. Also, as no editor owns any article, contributions can be edited.* * * *How did Wikipedia begin? And whose idea was it? Wikipedia was founded as an outcome of ‘Nupedia,' which was supposed to be a project to produce a free encyclopaedia.* * * *In 2000, Jimmy Wales, founder of Nupedia, and Larry Sanger, were thinking of ways to expand Nupedia. After much thought about allowing members of the public to make contributions, the idea of a “Wikipedia” was born. It was launched on January 15, 2001 — which, for many users, is also called “Wikipedia Day”. The Wikimedia Foundation, now based in San Francisco, was also launched as the parent organisation.* * * *From May 2001 onwards, a number of multilingual Wikipedias were also launched — in Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, Esperanto, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Swedish, to name a few. * * * *It is estimated that Wikipedia now gets 78 million visitors every month. There are more than 91,000 active contributors working on more than 17,000,000 articles in more than 270 languages. There are also nearly 3,565,990 articles in English.* * * *Now that's what you would call a pretty “Wiki” idea* * * *Mistaken identity!* * * *Wikipedia is not connected with WikiLeaks! Wiki is not a brand name! Though WikiLeaks first called itself “the Wikipedia of secrets,” Jimmy Wales was quick to issue a clarification!* * * *Wikipedia is a project dedicated to the building of free encyclopaedias in all languages.* * * *The project started with the English-language Wikipedia on January 15, 2001, and then by a French edition. Other languages followed.* * * *Based on information in January 2011, there are 278 language editions of Wikipedia, which together have more than 17 million articles* * * *.Some important Wikimedia projects:* * * *Wikipedia: It's the main thing!* * * *Wikimedia Commons: A house of images, sounds, videos and media, common to all Wikimedia projects.* * * *Wikibooks: A collection of free educational textbooks and learning materials.* * * *Wiktionary: A dictionary that has meanings, synonyms, etymologies and translations.* * * *Wikinews: A news source of reporting by citizen journalists from across the world.* * * *Wikisource: A project to provide and translate free source documents, such as public domain books.* * * *Wikiquote: A collection of quotations.* * * *Wikispecies: A directory of data on species and other forms of life.* * * *Wikiversity: A free learning environment for the study of human knowledge.* * * *There are many fun things at Wikipedia, such as:* * * *Wikipedia: Contests (article-writing and other kinds) which encourage users to make contributions.* * * *WikiQuizes: a game of various quizzes pertaining to a wide variety of subjects where users obtain points and awards.* * * *WikiCup 2011: A championship which takes place every year on Wikipedia. The cup is played and won by those who show a considerable skill in editing. Entry is available for any registered user.* * * *WikiGames* * * *Wikisong: “Hotel Wikipedia” is the official theme song, and is based on The Eagles' 1976 song “Hotel California”.* * * *Wikipedia at 10:* * * *Most of the events happened in January this year. Some were: forming a Wikipedia timeline — what are the most important events of the past 10 years? Tracing the growth of Wikipedia, from a tiny website to one of the largest reference sites in the world.* * * *Musical tributes — A special Wikipedia song was composed and performed by members of ‘Building 25', a young and emerging Australian theatre collective, in celebration of Wikipedia's 10th Anniversary.* * * *A Wikipedia ‘Top 10'* * * *A time capsule of the Wikipedia 10th anniversary, inviting thoughts, wishes and ideas about the future of Wikipedia. It would be protected till 2026, when it would be time for the Wikipedia 25th anniversary.* * * *Images* * * *But the most important thing was an announcement by the Executive Director, Wikipedia, Sue Gardner, that it was focusing on India and Brazil to reach its target of one billion users. It would be opening its first overseas office in India and boosting readership with articles in English and several Indian languages. Among the 316 events marking the 10th anniversary in 104 countries, 60 events were scheduled inside India, she said.* * * *There is also a ‘Wikipedia 10,' a wide-ranging multi-language design concept to help Wikimedia celebrate its 10th year anniversary of Wikipedia. It is based on “ten dots, the Wikipedia word mark and the numeral 10,” and uses the slogan “Wikipedia, one of the most successful projects of the world, will be 10 years old. Let's celebrate!”* * * *There is also Wikimedia India - an approved chapter of the Wikimedia Foundation for Wikimedians living in, or connected to India - on Facebook at: http://www.facebook.com/WikimediaIndia* Regards Tinu Cherian http://wikimedia.in/wiki/In_the_news#March_2011

[Press]: The Hindu : "Malayalam's Wiki warrior"
by CherianTinu Abraham 25 Mar '11

*The Hindu : "Malayalam's Wiki warrior"* http://www.thehindu.com/life-and-style/society/article1564461.ece *Santosh Thottingal has done wonders for Malayalam computing. He is the only Indian on Wikipedia's recently-expanded language committee* * * *Santhosh Thottingal has just logged on to the big leagues in cyber world. This young techie's contribution to the Indian language computing scene, along with his numerous contributions to Wikipedia (Wiki) projects, is taking him places. He is the only Indian in Wikimedia Foundation's newly-expanded 16-member language committee, which was announced on February 28.* * * *Language committee* * * *“Wiki hosts 279 languages across the world, including 20 Indian languages. In addition, there are 20-plus Indian languages in the incubator. The role of the language committee is to help people start a Wiki in their language, and it is this committee that approves a request for Wiki in a new language,” explains Santosh, a Free Open Source Software (FOSS) activist and fan of GNU, a free Operating System.* * * *Santhosh has been associated with Wiki projects for two to three years now. “I have done projects for Malayalam Wiki. I created the software for an offline distribution of Malayalam Wiki with 500 select articles. It was the first of its kind from India, and the Government of Kerala distributed the CD containing this to 60,000 schools in April 2010,” says Santosh.* * * *Chennai-based Santosh, who works for an IT company, is first and foremost a free software developer and is also a project administrator for Swathanthra Malayalam computing, which supports Malayalam for free software.* * * *For the last five years, he has been working on “Indic language technology development and associated research.” He developed ‘Dhvani,' a text-to-speech system for the visually challenged in India, along with a professor from the Institute of Science, Bangalore. This is a system for 10 Indian languages, and Pashto language too. It won the FOSS India award in 2008.* * * *Along with his team of volunteers at Swathanthra, Santosh has developed a number of free software for Malayalam computing, enabling the use of Malayalam with GNU and Linux Operating Systems. This project holds the honour of being the biggest free software project in India in this area.* * * *Literature buff* * * *Malayalam Wiki has a sister project called Malayalam Wikisource, where books with expired copyrights are available and it helps that Santosh is a fan of Malayalam literature. He helped convert Indulekha, the first novel in of Malayalam, and Keralapanineeyam to Wikisource. The complete works of Sree Narayana Guru is also on Wikisource due to Santhosh's efforts.* * * *Connecting people* * * *“Cyberspace in Malayalam is a space for Malayalis all over the world to connect. You see it in Facebook, blogs, Google Buzz, Twitter…. These spaces are utilised, for politics, for fun, for friendship… In all these ways, it connects people. For the first time in history, social networking is making waves.* * * *“Wiki is one example where Malayalis all over the world have showed their creativity. In fact, did you know that Malayalam Wiki is rated second in page depth – a parameter used to measure the activities and content?” asks Santosh.* * * *Santhosh was in Poland last year as a representative from Indian Wiki for ‘Wikimania 2010' – Wiki's annual conference. And he is proud about how Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia, talked about the Malayalam Wiki's activities in his keynote speech.* * * *In Poland, Santhosh conducted a workshop on creating offline Wiki repositories along with Shiju Alex, who coordinates many advocacy and outreach activities for Malayalam Wiki and Tinu Cherian, who works in the administration of English Wiki.* * * *Santhosh will soon attend a meeting of the language committee in Berlin and possibly hop over to Israel for this year's ‘Wikimania.'* * * *This bachelor from Palakkad, son of a farmer and home-maker couple, claims that he is a “home-made product” – a graduate of the 2005 batch of the NSS Engineering College, Palakkad.* Regards Tinu Cherian http://wikimedia.in/wiki/In_the_news#March_2011

[Press] : The OPEN mag : Vernacular Wikipedia
by CherianTinu Abraham 25 Mar '11

25 Mar '11

*The OPEN mag : "Vernacular Wikipedia"* http://openthemagazine.com/article/art-culture/vernacular-wikipedia ( See Link too) *It’s not just Hindi and Tamil. The online encyclopaedia is serious about Wiki versions in Sanskrit, Pali and forgotten languages like Angika too* * * *Do people know the power of their ideas? Take Jim Wales, founder, Wikimedia, for instance. Could he have pictured a decade ago that a government-run primary school in a remote village in Tamil Nadu would use Tamil Wikipedia for learning things beyond their syllabus? “It was a great moral booster for us and gave us hope that it is only a matter of time before other schools use it too,” says A Ravishankar, who is a Tamil editor and contributes to Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikibooks and Wikisource in the regional language.* * * *Known for its other allied projects such as Wikiversity and Wikiquotes, Wikimedia’s most popular one, however, remains Wikipedia, a free-for-all encyclopedia on the internet that can be edited by anyone. Available in more than 275 languages, Wikipedia is used by more than 400 million people every month, while nearly 11.5 million monthly edits are done on its articles.* * * *Back home in India, Wikipedia has a presence in 22 languages, with more than 20 in incubation stage. One of them is Angika, a language spoken in the states of Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal and written in the Devnagari script. “I had drifted away from my mother tongue, but learnt to value it later. I don’t want people like me to forget it, and thus the initiative,” says Kundan Amitabh, who also edits in English and Hindi. Interestingly, he has also worked on Google, the internet search engine, in Angika and translated the interface.* * * *For a new language to get onto Wikipedia, it has to be incubated first. Content is translated and localised in the language. A language approval committee then monitors the consistency of articles being contributed and decides when the language can go live. “Since the language is in incubation, few people know about it. But I push it by talking to the local media, reaching out to local schools and colleges, and asking them to contribute,” says Amitabh.The Angika page will go live anytime now, he says.* * * *Abhay Natu, who has been a user and editor since November 2005, says Marathi Wikipedians want their page to grow to a point where it becomes a premium yet free reference site, accessible to anyone who can read Marathi.* * * *That’s one of the charms of Wikipedia—that it is available in your own language. And if not, you may take the initiative and get it in your vernacular. And as Arun Ramarathnam, executive committee member, Wikipedia’s Indian chapter, puts it, “Indian languages are the language of choice in smaller towns and villages. It is important for the knowledge of the world to be available to people in these areas in a language of their choice.”* * * *That is exactly how Sankalp Dravid, an editor in Marathi, got pulled into it. In 2005, he chanced upon the Marathi page while searching for Vande mataram and Bankimchandra Bose. “I spotted some shuddhalekham (grammar) mistakes and tried to rectify them.” But the real contribution started when he read a book by well-known Marathi artist Ravi Paranjpe. “It was about the great artists of the world like Degas, Monet, and so on. I decided to put a little bit of information about them on the Marathi page.” Soon, following other users’ edits, Dravid learnt more about editing styles and syntax, and was contributing more and more.* * * *What is lacking, however, is awareness. While most people know about English Wikipedia, not many know it is available in their own spoken language. Says a Tamil editor, who prefers to be known by his pseudonym Sodabottle, “For English, there is an abundance of sources such as Google books, internet editions of newspapers and magazines. There is little content available online in regional languages. That there is no standardisation of format makes it tougher.”* * * *Arjun Rao Chavala, editor, Telugu, and president, Wikimedia’s India chapter, holds ‘Wiki academies’ on a regular basis in Andhra Pradesh. “These are half-day events covering Wikipedia, typing in the local language and Wikipedia policies. They include hands-on sessions,” he says. These sessions are held in universities and colleges with good internet access.* * * *Being a Wikipedian is not only about online campaigns, editing and writing. It involves everything from organising offline meets and workshops, to taking the movement to schools and colleges, without asking for anything in return. “But it’s great interacting with people I would not have met if not for Wikipedia,” says Natu, who has also met Wales. For Bengali editor Jayanta Nath, the surprise visit by Tamil editors Tinu Cherian and Shiju Alex to Kolkata was memorable. “They had been pushing me to conduct a workshop, but I was a little wary. I thought ours (Bengali Wikipedians) is not a big community and no one would come.” Well, what do you know? They held one last December, and 18 people attended.* * * *There is also the technology hurdle to overcome. However, most regional language Wikipedians agree that the ease of using technology has increased manifold since the early part of the century. For languages such as Tamil, there are open source content management sources that are Unicode compatible.* * * *That the Indian chapter of Wikipedia is now registered with the Registrar of Companies also helps greatly. “It will ease networking with language forums and government bodies,” says Ramarathnam, “Our focus in on building more local focus groups and training core teams to start working independently.”* * * *He also wants more such Wiki communities to grow in peripheral states of India, such as those in Northeast India. “The governments there are too caught up with internal priorities, but we still need coverage from there,” he says. * * * *With Wikimedia set to open its second office outside the US in India is another reason for cheer. “Being in India works for Wikimedia, given the country’s diversity, plus internet and mobile telephony penetration in India,” says Bishakaha Dutta, the first Indian trustee at the Wikimedia Foundation.* * * *“There is so much information to be shared, and although the number of contributors is always smaller than the number of readers, Wikipedia helps give such people a platform to contribute and collaborate in their own small way,” says Chavala.* * * *But most of all, Indians need to turn hungrier for information and analysis. “That would be a slow process and a macro-sociological phenomenon,” says Sankalp Dravid. Which, of course, is a different story altogether.* Regards Tinu Cherian http://wikimedia.in/wiki/In_the_news#March_2011

Sanskrit wikisource is created
by Shiju Alex 24 Mar '11

24 Mar '11

Dear All, Few wikimedians who understood the importance of wiki source project is giving proper care to it. From Indic Wikis, I can show you the example of Bengali wikisource. According to me, both the wiktionary and wikisource projects are very important for any language which has online presence. For a language like Sanskrit (which is a classical language),wikisource is very much relevant and important projects. Perhaps it might have more number of source texts (which are in public domain) than most of the Indian languages. A request for Sanskrit wikisource is logged on 2010 October 04<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikisource_Sanskr…>. The request was approved by the language committee on 2010 November 04, and finally the wiki is created on *2011 March 18* <http://sa.wikisource.org/>. It is available here: http://sa.wikisource.org Most of the text from Old Wikisource <http://wikisource.org> is already migrated to this new wikisource <http://sa.wikisource.org>. A cleanup is required in the wiki. I request Sanskrit wiki community to take of your wiki project. Thanks Shiju Alex

If ISO code also changes correspondingly from or to od, we should perhaps move wiki projects as well? - Sundar "That language is an instrument of human reason, and not merely a medium for the expression of thought, is a truth generally admitted." - George Boole, quoted in Iverson's Turing Award Lecture >________________________________ >From: Shiju Alex <shijualexonline(a)gmail.com> >To: Discussion list on Indian language projects of Wikimedia. <wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>; Oriya Wikipedia <wikipedia-or(a)lists.wikimedia.org> >Sent: Thursday, March 24, 2011 8:59 PM >Subject: Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Odia and Odisha > > >Indian Parliament approves new name for Oriya language and Orissa state. > >Now onwards the Oriya language will be called as Odia and the Orissa state will hereafter be called Odisha. > >More detailed news here: http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics/nation/parliament-approve… > > >Shiju > >_______________________________________________ >Wikimediaindia-l mailing list >Wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org >https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l > > >

Oh, I didn't know the origins. For me, Oriya and Orissa are more comfortable (being the way we write in Tamil). And, I agree that building the wiki is more important. Regards, Sundar Sent from Yahoo! Mail on Android
