The one-pager developed at GLAMcamp DC (by a team led by Andrew Lih) is now
available on Commons:

As mentioned, this was specifically created for museum professionals in
order to dial into a specific audience. It is hoped, however, to create
future versions for archivists, librarians, etc.
Other goals include creating versions in an open source program such as
scribus, and having translations made of these documents.

Subject: [Wikimedia-in-en] Looking for photographers in India
To: wikimedia-in-en(a)lists.wikimedia.org
Hi all
Russavia from English Wikipedia and Commons here
I am currently looking for some photographers in several countries who
might be able to assist me with taking photos from India which I am
requiring for
some articles I am working on. I need photos from Chennai, Kolkata,
Mumbai, Delhi and Thiruvananthapuram
Details of what I require can be found at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Russavia/Required_photos#.C2.A0India
If anyone is able to help me, or if anyone knows of photographers who
can help, feel free to contact me on this email (and to pass my email
on), or i can be contacted at
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Russavia
In the event someone is able to help, and the photo subjects are
obscured, I may be able to organise with the local diplomatic mission
for inside access to take photos and the like, so this is an option if
anyone is willing.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers
Scotty (Russavia)

Dear All,
I have compiled the, statistical update of the Indic language Wikipedias
for the year 2011. In this report, my aim is to provide an *analysis* as
well as *my perspectives* on the health of various Indic language
communities as well as the state of various Indic language wikipedias for
the year 2011. (The period of analysis is editor contributions between 2011
January 1 and 2011 December 31). As always, a lot of the data for this
report and analysis are based on the statistical data published at
http://stats.wikimedia.org. Thanks to Erik Zachte for compiling all this
information.
I must also point out that this annual update contains a number of insights
*that are derived not only from this data but directly from community
members* who have shared a very real-world picture.
Read the annual update here:

I welcome your comments on this annual update. Please discuss it on the
talk page. You can also reach me at shiju(a)wikimedia.org

Dear friends,
I would like to welcome Pratik Lahoti or User:BPositive to the fold of
people in charge of doing things in Wikipedia. BPositive is a young member
(in comparison to me :)) of Pune community and Wikipedia Pune Club. He was
an active Campus Ambassador in the first version of India Education
Program. Energetic and enthusiastic BPositive is taking charge of the
India Collaboration of the Month (INCOTM) process and is the first person
to volunteer to help me keep WikiProject India active by taking on a
specific responsibility.
All the best BPositive and hope you have a great time doing things new to
you till now!
I request the wider India community to welcome and support BPositive as he
guides us on our monthly INCOTMs.

Hi all,
Wikimania is the annual international conference of Wikimedians ,
jointly hosted by the local team ( usually local chapter) and the Wikimedia
Foundation.
The previous conferences were held in Frankfurt, Germany (2005), Boston,
USA (2006), Taipei, Taiwan (2007), Alexandria, Egypt (2008), Buenos Aires,
Argentina (2009), Gdańsk, Poland (2010), and Haifa, Israel (2011).
This year, it is to be held in Washington DC, United States of America, on
July 12-14 , 2012. http://wikimania2012.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
I have attended the Wikimanias in Gdansk and Haifa, along with several
other Wikipedians from India.
http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Wikimania2011
I highly recommend everyone to apply and attend Wikimania !
Like every year, The Wikimedia Foundation is offering a limited number of
scholarships to offset the cost of select individuals' attendance at
Wikimania.
Both full and partial scholarships are available for Wikimania 2012:
Full scholarships will award round trip travel, dorms accommodations
and registration.
Partial scholarships will subsidize up to 300€ of travel expenses.
Scholarship recipients have to bear themselves the additional costs of
taxis, visa & travel agent charges etc.
More Information : http://wikimania2012.wikimedia.org/wiki/Scholarships
Apply here : https://secure.wikidc.org/wm/schols/
Deadline : *16 Feb 2012*
Around 30 % of the scholarship are allocated to Asia & Pacific, so there
are more chances of scholarship applications from India to be selected. :)
Please note that the selection is mostly based on the merit of the
applications.
One of the common mistakes that Wikimedians in India make is that we aren't
enough vocal of what we do. So please do write in detail about your
Wikimedia activities.
Please feel free to forward this to various language and city mailing lists
and encourage other Wikimedians to apply.
All the best wishes!
Regards
Tinu Cherian

Dear friends,
The month of January passed quietly for WikiProject India on English
Wikipedia. However elsewhere, the SOPA/PIPA discussion in the United States
was the hot topic of the month and English Wikipedia went dark on 18
January for 24 hours in protest against these proposed laws.
At this point of time, getting the few small initiatives to keep going have
been our concern.
We have had [[Premchand]] as [[WP:INCOTM]] and [[Mohandas Karamchand
Gandhi]] as GA of the month. Premchand has had substantial improvement. The
GA Master Class ( a hoity-toity name I picked up as an excuse for
periodically giving a few hints on the Wikimedia-in-en list) for Gandhi has
begun and some posts made. GA of the month is a misnomer because despite
lots of edits, there is tremendous amount of work yet to be done on Gandhi.
It seems that we will be doing a GA/FA a quarter instead. :( The new
INCOTM of the month is [[Dance in India]].
The Offline Wikipedia for Schools project has been dawdling along and we
need people to recommit themselves to this Project. Recently, I realised
that the most important parts of Wikipedia which need doing are not "pop
corn and fast food". They require commitment and seem too much like work.
They are not as much fun as editing on our favourite topics. That fact
perhaps is the reason people begin working on this project and finding it
is not much fun, gradually stop editing. However, lakhs of Indian children
await our output so I'm requesting participants to return and recommit.
On the talk page, we have had a discussion since December and through
January into February about whether caste should be mentioned in
biographies. The protagonists quoting [[WP:BLP]] and [[WP:V]] took the
stand that caste should not be mentioned unless it has been self-identified
by the person concerned in a reliable source. Some Indian editors contested
it vehemently arguing that caste pervades Indian society and binding
strictures on its mention should not be placed. But when it boiled down to
a poll, the majority of editors stood up for the conservative position i.e.
no inclusion unless self-identified in a reliable source.
An earlier discussion about which should be the languages that a title of
an article should be translated into in the lead. After lots of discussion,
the discussion was closed as no consensus emerged except that IPA should
definitely be present for pronunciation. In this regard, I think common
sense and not misplaced parochialism should help us decide which all
languages the title should be transcribed into in the lead.
In this month, we saw Swaroop Rao, aka MikeLynch or Lynch7 as he
masquerades nowadays become an admin. That is great.
However, I am seeing more activity overall on English Wikipedia from the
habitual editors - which is a very good sign. Young former CAs are playing
up too but the spectre of exams had made its presence known by end January.
All in all, a fairly okay month for WikiProject India.
