Wikimedia Foundation research
by Patricia Sauthoff 16 Jun '11

16 Jun '11

Dear Indian-language Wikipedians, I've been tasked with studying the history of the Hindi-language Wikipedia this summer for the Wikimedia Foundation. We're trying to find out what makes this Wikipedia unique. To do this I am also looking at the culture of other Indian-language Wikipedias to compare and contrast them with the Hindi Wikipedia. (This Wikipedia was chosen by the Foundation because the fellow -- me -- is a student of Hindi and Urdu rather than another Indian language.) I'll be traveling to India in July and August and would love to meet with some of you one-on-one. I'd also like to conduct email and/or skype interviews with anyone interested in this project. My aim to get the stories about why you do this, why you think it's important, and what your experience has been. The more people I talk to the more complete the final project, which will be published (in English) online will be. You can read more about the project here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:WikiHistories_fellowship and, because this is Wikipedia, you're more than welcome to help edit the information on the charts herein. I'm just starting to learn my way around the Hindi Wikipedia (I've been a sometimes editor on the English Wikipedia for quite some time) so any nudges in the correct direction are more than appreciated. Thanks! I look forward to talking to some of you in the very near future. Patricia aka Cloudmessenger http://hi.wikipedia.org/wiki/सदस्य:Cloudmessenger

Request: Wikimedians with language skills needed to support for V&A event in London on 16 July
by Fae 16 Jun '11

16 Jun '11

Hi, Wikimedia UK has been invited to join the Victoria and Albert Museum's Web Weekend for a day of public outreach activities where we would also help improve some articles about India related artefacts and create the same topics in Hindi and other language Wikipedias. It would be very helpful to assess potential interest and guarantee a couple of volunteers with suitable language skills that can help with editing articles and facilitating the event. We have an excellent room for the day that can take up to 20 people comfortably and the V&A will be supplying lunch and beverages. Please see the page below for details and registration: * http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/VandA_Wikilounge Cheers, Fae -- http://enwp.org/user_talk:fae Guide to email tags: http://j.mp/faetags

Wiki India Conference
by Outofindia 16 Jun '11

16 Jun '11

Count me in to support the Conference in Mumbai and hold the yet to be developed bidding processes for next year...there's no time to lose...Espcecially since we have dates from Jimmy Wales. Also FUND RAISING for the event should not be restricted to a particular group/city but all incoming funds should be directed to one person who heads the finance committee who has a Conference Account....that is transparent. Fund raising, promoting the event and passing the word around should be everyone's effort. Warm regards Harriet from Mangalore! -- Harriet Vidyasagar www.outofindia.net www.womenofindia.net INDIA: 91-99011 66276 USA: 1-301-649-2240
