Hello friends,
This is a link I recommend you to bookmark.
http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Geographical_distribution_of_Indian_Wikipedians
This list is useful for outreach & also whenever someone needs Wiki-Help in
a particular city. It would be great if Wikipedians could update this
list.:)
We have the following completely unrepresented states/UTs:
* Andaman & Nicobar Islands
* Arunachal Pradesh
* Assam
* Chandigarh
* Chhattisgarh
* Dadra, Nagar & Haveli
* Daman & Diu
* Goa
* Himachal Pradesh
* Jammu & Kashmir
* Jharkhand (AngPradesh is in Mumbai)
* Lakshadweep
* Manipur
* Meghalaya
* Mizoram
* Puducherry
* Punjab (oye, ye ki hoya!)
* Nagaland
* Uttar Pradesh
* Uttarakhand
Okay, all you admins, please update your status (Mikey my boy, that means
you too)!
Abroad, we dont have Indic Wikipedians listed for:
* Africa
* Australia
* Asia (other than India)
* Middle East
* North America
* South America
Unless you would like to stay off list, of course that's acceptable too.
May I also request Tinu / list admins to please forward it all the Indic
language & city Wikimedia lists. We need this resource to be as
comprehensible as possible.
Warm regards,
Ashwin Baindur

Hello,
For a year or more I have been looking for an individual grant to buy a
simple image scanner.
My most recent application was at Ta Wikipedia
<https://ta.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%AE%B5%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%95%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%95…>
>From that application:, I need a scanner regularly, so I would not be able
to do all works in a particular period (for example, someone says, "take a
scanner for two weeks and return after that)
Can anyone give me oive me one?

Subject: [WMIN-Members] Formation of Advisory Committee Board
To: Wikimedia India Community list <wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>,
wmin-members(a)googlegroups.com
In an effort to form a stable WMIN working environment and utilize the
community’s experience in terms of guidance, the EC, has decided to
form an *Advisory
Committee Board*. Since the past EC was already working on it, as a new EC,
it’s our duty to take it forward.
Since, we want to include all the domains of work that are associated with
the working of WMIN, we propose different verticals under which the
advisory committee would advise the EC -
- Law,
- Organizational Development,
- Technology,
- Policy making,
- Outreach and
- Others (Open to suggestions from the community)
The function of the Advisory committee board will be to advise the
Wikimedia India chapter EC in its strategic decision-making process. They
will be providing the EC with appropriate suggestions and solutions towards
queries and solicitations specifically asked for.
It shall not be a part of the final decisions and resolutions adopted by
the Board. In general, the Advisory Committee members may remain for an
indefinite term.
Since we want to take the inputs from the community, we would want the
community to suggest inputs on the following functions of this Advisory
Committee -
- Role of Advisory committee
- Strength of the Advisory Committee
- Code of Conduct to Advisory committee
- Code of Conduct to Advisory committee
Apart from this, we would also like suggestions from the community on the
Possible inclusion to this Important Committee.
The new EC looks forward to full support from the Community.
Thanks.
Regards,
Priyanka Tiwari
