Hi all,
I thought you might be interested to know that free access to Economic &
Political Weekly (https://www.epw.in/) is now available through The
Wikipedia Library! Economic & Political Weekly is a social science journal
with archives dating back to 1949.
You can apply now at https://wikipedialibrary.wmflabs.org/partners/71/
As an Indian organisation, with translations available in a number of
Indian languages, access is being prioritised for editors contributing to
topics related to India.
Best,
Sam

Here you can find login app (react native android app) with Wikimedia API.
check this blog post, you can find git repo at end of article. If any one
have special community request to create custom app, you can use this app

Hi Yohann,
1. I would like to know more about the fact that who was the inviting
person for this informal meetup? Can you also share the record written
invitation?
2. Since, this was something that not a part of the official program of the
Wikimania, how was it deemed important enough to be attended?
(For example, what if some random person (such as Bodhi) sends an
invitation to (let's say Manav) attend and present about Punjabi
Wikimedians UG at Asia Meetup at Wikimania 2019.)
3. Since, the invitation was one particular meetup, was the possibility of
a remote participation considered? 2 WMIN representatives present at
Wikimania (Krishna and Viswa) could also have presented with the help of
the slides prepared by Rahul.
4. It would be great if the presentation can be shared on Commons, if it
hasn't been done already (If it's there please provide a link). Also, it
would be good if Rahul writes a report (if already not done) about his
participation in the whole event, just like the scholarship attendees.
(Just for information purposes, Punjabi UG has decided to ask all its
representatives at all national and international events to prepare a
report about their participation and to try and organize local events to
pass on the learnings.)
5. Sadly no one knew of the availability of this kind of support from any
organization. What Manav was saying that last year her session was selected
for the official Wikimania program and she didn't know whether any support
was available.
6. What should be the process for making such decisions in the future?
Let's start thinking about this as this is not just about one particular
incident but the decision making in the movement in general.
I am sure this has been a good learning for the chapter. I believe ensuring
transparency and adequate decision making process is very much required to
ensure that the wider community's faith in our organizations remain intact.

Hello,
A couple of Indian communities have plan to conduct small edit-a-thons
during/around 15 August. As of now, I know about Marathi, Telugu, and
recently Hindi has added an event page. Today morning I was talking on
Wikidata India noticeboard on Wikidata label-a-thon.
Perhaps you may have a look:

Dear all,
The Indian community mailing list is arguably the most used mailing list by
the Indian Wikimedia community. However, recently some users have reported
problems with subscription and sending messages as non-subscribers. All
these issues are need to be dealt by the list admins at the earliest
possible. However, the issues remain unsolved.
So I think more active community members must be added as mailing list
admins so that these issues can be addressed in a timely manner.
List info at: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/Wikimediaindia-l
Looking forward for comments from other members.

Hello everyone,
I came across this article from March 2018 recently, and was curious to

Information just a 'scan' away: Historical sites in Bhubaneswar to get QR
codes soon
The QR codes will be installed on temples and other heritage structures and
on being scanned through smartphone, these codes will help visitors get
detailed information of the monument and its history
http://www.newindianexpress.com/states/odisha/2018/mar/29/information-just-…
BHUBANESWAR: Historic monuments in the Capital will soon get QR codes as
per a new plan of the Bhubaneswar Development Authority (BDA). In a bid to
make the culture and history of the city more accessible to citizens,
tourists and researchers in India and across the globe, the BDA has
partnered with the Centre for Internet and Society - Access to Knowledge
(CIS-A2K) to start the ‘QRpedia’project’.
The QR codes will be installed on temples and other heritage structures and
on being scanned through smartphone, these codes will help visitors get
detailed information of the monument and its history, pictures and other
details of the site they are visiting. According to sources in BDA, the QR
codes will direct visitors to Wikipedia page of the City-based sites and
the monuments in the language of their choice, Odia or English.
The move, first-of-its-kind in the country, will add the city to the list
of select countries like UK and Australia where the QRpedia is applied to
increase the footfall of tourists.Officials of BDA said with an increase in
the footfall of tourists to the city in 2017, articles on Wikipedia on
monuments have increased by more than 25 per cent as compared to 2016. “The
QRpedia project will help tourists, researchers and others, in gaining a
better understanding of the region. Projects such as QRpedia have been
undertaken in countries like the United Kingdom and Australia in a bid to
enable the tourists for exploring the rich historical background of the
places they visit,” a BDA official said.
The partner organisation CIS - A2K will help in generating more content
about the monuments in the Capital, sources added.The BDA officials have
named the content generating project as ‘Edit-a-thon’. They have received
about 193 articles written by 26 editors in 13 different languages
including, Bengali, Sinhalese, Telugu, Kannada, Tamil, Punjabi, Hindi,
Azerbaijani (official language of Azerbaijan), German, among others.Out of
the 193 articles, 44 articles were generated in Bengali and were drafted by
four Wikipedians, followed by 42 articles written by an editor in Sinhalese.
Tech innovation
● QR codes will be installed on temples and other heritage structures
● 25 pc increase in articles on city’s monuments on Wikipedia in 2017
against 2016
● Edit-a-thon, a content generating project has been started
● 193 articles in 13 languages received so fa
Hi all,
I expected more discussion on this. Although, Subhashish reposted this on
Wikimania mailing list and asked some really good questions.
I agree with Subha that if an affiliate decides to send someone to
Wikimania then the whole selection process should be transparent and also
some reporting guidelines should be established similar to Wikimania.
All this can help ensure trust of the wider Wikimedia community in our
processes and decisions.
I do want to hear why was it deemed necessary for the WMIN President to be
present at that informal meetup during Wikimania.
I do know that for some other Chapters whose chairperson's were not
attending Wikimania, some editor Board/EC member attended the meetup on
their behalf.
I expect to hear more about this.

DISCLAIMER: My following email is being sent as a volunteer and community
member & not as a board member of Wikimedia India.
Dear Manavpreet & other community members
I will try my best to answer this question using comparative analysis, why
this is happening & will be very informative for you & others.. Who have
this query.. & i obviously would want other community members to chip in,
in case u miss something out.
*CIS-A2K*
*Employees : *7 (full time & part time)
[I would also like to mention that for administrative work of any
organization like Financial audit, bookkeeping & meeting statutory
obligations, these 7 team members are not involved & to perform those
duties & the team of finance & administration team CIS is involved.So, we
can say total. Of
7+4=11 employees]
(Reference : https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/CIS-A2K/Teamhttps://cis-india.org/about/people/our-team)
*Funds received from **from WMF for the year 2017-18* : 180,000 ISD
(1,20,00,000 INR)
(Reference :
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:APG/FDC_recommendations/2016-2017_ro…
)
Note:CIS receives funds from many other donors, but we are talking here
specifically of CIS-A2K team, whose annual plan is funded by the APG
*Wikimedia India* (WMIN)
*Employees : 0*
Board members:7
(All Board members are unpaid volunteers who have their own professional
lives apart from running the chapter)
[I would also like to mention that all these board members are also
involved in administrative work of the organization like Financial audit,
bookkeeping & meeting statutory obligations & WMIN has no special staff for
this]
(Reference : http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Executive_Committee_Members)
*Funds received from WMF for the year 2017-18 :* 0 INR
(I must mention that Board members have applied for Rapid grants from WMF
to organise workshops & events)
Now, why hasn't Wikimedia India not received funds from WMF & the problems
pertaining to that has already been discussed in previous mails & community
members, who are curious, can look up the India mailing list archives, but
inspite of all adversities, Wikimedia India has a very active board who are
managing with whatever little resources the chapter has, using their time &
sometimes even their own money to organise events.
Manav, I somewhat agree with your point that the chapter is not taking as
many initiatives as much as CIS-A2K, to take the movement ahead, & yes to
some point, there is a big disconnect between the community & the chapter.
But, I see an opportunity here for you & many others who see this problem,
and can be very vital to bridge this disconnect & be part of Wikimedia
India on an active basis.
Now Im sure, you must be thinking , that you are a part of Punjabi User
group, that I'm doing well in my user group, why would i want be part of
the chapter.... Well i would say that you can be part of a national
identity.. Fix the system & take the chapter ahead, as a binding force
between the user groups of India.
I therefore request you & all others to be part of Wikimedia India on an
active basis. Personally, I feel that the Chapter, in entity, truly
represents what it means to be a Wikimedian & it is like every Wikimedian
around the world, who put in its time & resources to spread the sum of
knowledge.
Regards,
Yohann

Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Special:Block with partial block function, Second
set of designs up for comment
To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hello all,
The Wikimedia Foundation Anti-Harassment Tools team is continuing to talk
with the Wikimedia community about adding a partial blocks function to
Special:Block.1
No functionality will change for sitewide blocks. All existing blocks will
remain in place and the ability to block users from the entire wiki will
remain as-is.
In addition to sitewide blocks, a partial block would be the ability to
block a user from:
1.
Editing one or more specific page(s)
2.
Editing all pages within one or more namespace(s)
3.
Uploading files
4.
Emailing other users
Alex Hollender, a User Experience designer at Wikimedia Foundation, has a
second set of wireframe designs of Special:Block with partial block
included. You can take a look at the wireframes and leave us your feedback
on Meta.2
Please spread the word and forward this email to others (especially
administrators) who might be interested in helping re-design
Special:Block's layout. In particular, feedback is needed about the best
ways to create a log that will work well with the existing administrator
workflows.
