Hello Everyone,
I am glad to share a recent collaboration of Odia Wikipedia community with
the Government of Odisha.
After releasing the content of 2017 Asian Athletics Championships (
https://blog.wikimedia.org/2017/07/28/digest-asia-athletics-championships/
) another initiative by the Government of Odisha to bridge the dearth of
Information about Odisha on Wikipedia by releasing its social media
accounts under CC-BY 4.0.
Earlier this week, the community members met the Government officials
regarding this, and after understanding the value of Open Content, it took
only 24hrs to release the social media channels under CC-BY 4.0 license.
As a pilot project, 8 social media accounts from Government of Odisha are
under CC-BY 4.0,Now, the content is free for everyone to use, share, and
build upon their work.
https://blog.wikimedia.org/2017/09/18/odisha-social-media-free-license/
The community is also planning to take the collaboration further and
relicense some of the websites under CC-BY 4.0.

Fellow Community Members,
I take this opportunity to initive you all for your suggestions, feedbacks
and inputs for Wikimedia India's featured Wikimedian of the month
programme. Featured Wikimedian of the month is an India Chapter innovation
to celebrate editing for an editor every month who has excelled in his
respective project and which brings signs of encouragement for other
community members. The excercise is similar to featured article or featured
picture.
Wikimedia India is revamping the entire process to incorporate fresh ideas
and make this program more exciting while it remains community driven. We
would request you all to reflect yours thoughts on this, your guidance is
key to any direction.

Dear Wikimedians,
As the month long country-wide Wikidata Training Tour by Asaf Bartov [*1]
is in progress through several communities and cities within India, the
term 'Wikidata' has started rolling out as a new technology buzzword among
Indian communities and media.
Choosing the occasion as most befitting, some of us have opened up a new
WikiProject portal on the Wikidata site, named WikiProject India.
The page link is https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_India.
This WikiProject is to coordinate the efforts to create, enhance and
populate the coverage of topics related to India including her history,
geography, culture, society, people, infrastructure, education,
demographics and anything related between India and other fields such as
science, technology, arts, entertainment etc.
For now, an indicative list of topics of immediate interest are mentioned
in the homepage. As the project grow up and get better shape, we can expand
the scope of the project both vertically and horizontally.
A query library demonstrating some data drilling methods and samples is
also available there. Together, we can also build up this library to its
best form and beauty.
An inspiring model to this venture was WikiProject Armenia (
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Armenia), which began
around a year ago. We may fork and develop upon some of the work show-cased
there, including the model queries.
(Building new queries based upon these are quite easy even for a beginner!)
I invite all of you too visit the project homepage.
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_India
Are you interested to be among the pioneers of this project?
Do you want to be part of a team that will build up a great national
database that will eventually help at least one fifth of the world
population in so many ways that we can not even predict now?
If you do, if you are interested in editing and contributing to Wikidata,
then please sign up and join the project.
More questions and suggestions are welcome at the project's talk pages.
Thanks and regards,
User:Viswaprabha

Dear Wikidata community,
YAGO is a large general-purpose knowledge base derived from Wikipedia
and other sources. It contains more than 10 million entities (like
persons, organizations, cities, etc.) and more than 120 million
facts about these entities. It also contains time and space information,
and unifies data from Wikipedias in 11 languages. YAGO is available for
free at https://yago-knowledge.org
We are happy to announce that the source code of YAGO is now available
as well as open source under the GPL v3 license. This allows everybody
to use the extraction code, and also to contribute to YAGO.
Please find the GitHub link here: https://github.com/yago-naga/yago3
We are very grateful for the work of the Wikimedia community (including
Wikipedia and Wikidata), and we hope that our project can be of use.
Sincerely,
the YAGO team

and Télécom ParisTech University

Dear Indian Community Members,
I take immense pride in letting you know, Wiki Loves Monuments in
India would take place once again this year in India.
Wiki Loves Monuments is a global photo competition that takes place
generally in September. Wikimedia India would officially be organising this
competition in India.
The aim of the contest is to ask the general public—readers and users of
Wikipedia, photographers, hobbyists, etc.—to take pictures of cultural
heritage monuments and upload them to Wikimedia Commons for use on
Wikipedia and its other sister projects.
I request Indian community to help us make this event a grand success.
Please sign up as volunteers here
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2017_in_Ind…>
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_
Monuments_2017_in_India>
Looking forward to your ideas, suggestions, and strategies.
Thanks,

Greetings everyone,
I am happy to inform that User:Swapnil.Karambelkar from Hindi Wikimedia
community is the Featured Wikimedian of the Month for September 2017.
Swapnil hails from Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, and by profession a Mechanical
Engineering, who runs his own firm based on factory automation and
education. Swapnil joined Wikipedia in August 2016, through "Wiki Loves
Monuments". He initially started off with uploading images to Commons and
then moved onto Hindi Wikipedia, contributing to culture and military
topics. He also contributes to Hindi Wikibooks and Wikiversity.
Soon after, he got extensively involved in various outreach activities. He
co-organized "Hindi Wiki Conference" in January 2017, at Bhopal. He
delivered various lectures on Wikimedia movement in various institutions
like Atal Bihari Hindi University, Sanskrit Sansthanam and NIT Bhopal.
Along with Suyash Dwivedi, Swapnil co-organized the first ever regular GLAM
project in India at National Museum of Natural Heritage, Bhopal. Swapnil is
an account creator on Hindi Wikipedia and is an admin on the beta version
on Wikiversity. Swapnil has been instrumental in establishing the first
Indic language version of Wikiversity, the Hindi Wikiversity.
As asked regarding his motivation to contribute to the Wikimedia movement,
Swapnil says, "It is the realization that though there is abundance of
knowledge around us, but it is yet untapped and not documented".
