Hi Sowmyan,
Thanks for the confirmation.
I know the reasons and don't want any clarification on that. I was just
curious to know.
Regards,
Dhaval

Dhaval Vyas,
I guess my mail was ambiguous. We are not admitting foreign members. We
have just asked for proof to carry on our records that our members are
Indian nationals and of age above 18.
The reasons for the nationality and age constraint have been discussed
earlier in these lists.
Abhilash Unni,
Your suggestion of scanned documents is fine.

Sowmyan

Dear friends,
Some of you may not have renewed your membership yet. Kindly do this at the
earliest. End of June will mark the expiry of the 3 month grace period.
In order to be more compliant with our eligibility requirement, we now need
members to submit a proof of age and nationality. This would be a one time
requirement. Future renewals will not need this. All existing members who
renewed recently are also required to send this document to complete our
records.
To meet this requirement, we need any government issued identity document
that contains the name, photograph, date of birth and nationality of the
member. For example: driving license, passport, PAN card, and electoral
identity card are some of the documents that would meet the requirement.
Send us the copy for any one of these. Please mention your membership
number for easy archiving.
Regards,
Sowmyan

Thanks for asking, Peter. The options we considered are described in detail
at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Universal_Language_Selector/Design#Location_…
.
When we tested the top-right position for language settings, it generated
confusion for users on wikis with inter-language links. The top-right area
was a new language-related area and they expected content language to be
changed from there. We were never really satisfied with the UI elements
that WebFonts and Narayam added, so those are implemented in Universal
Language Selector.
In short, depending on the context, language selection may have different
purposes:
* For contexts where the language of content can be modified, the language
list will be shown by default, and the trigger will contain a list of
likely languages.
* For contexts where the content language cannot be modified, the settings
view is provided instead as default. Since inter-language links are not
being initially replaced by the language selector for monolingual wikis
such as Wikipedia, the Universal Language selector will not be used to
change content language.
Cheers!
Siebrand

Hi,
After Telugu Wikipedia Mahotsavam, there is a small movement in Telugu
media on coverage of Wikipedia.
HMTV has telecast this story on Wikipedia, basically a small documentary on
Wikipedia in Telugu.
The title is Sabhash Wiki. Which means "Well Done! Wikipedia!"
Will try to put a translation, if someone needs so.

Dear All,
During interactions with many Wikipedians, it has been realized that many
are looking for data, that is otherwise not available in the public domain,
which could be used for enhancing quality of articles/projects on
Wikipedia. Please let us know if anyone of you requires help in filing
RTIs. We could file RTIs for any particular data on your behalf.
Best regards,
Vishnu
Programme on #Wikipedia on #HMTV (#Telugu News Channel), featuring Vishnu
