Hello friends, This is to announce Tag & Assess 2021 drive for assessing the class and importance of WikiProject India articles (on English Wikipedia) that haven't been assessed so far, a total of about 10,800 articles. The drive is planned for the period from 0001 hrs on 1st September to 2359 hrs on 30th September 2021. The landing page for the drive is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_India/Assessment/Tag_%2… On this page, you can find : * a place to add your name; * information about the drive; * guidance about how to participate in the drive; * the running score of how many articles we have collectively assessed, * the individual tallies of the participants; * the rewards; * and userboxes. Editors will be classified into two groups, less than 3000 edits and editors with 3000 or more edits. There will be 1st, 2nd and 3rd place medals for those with the highest tallies in each group of editors . In addition, barnstars will be awarded for those who cross 200, 400, 600, 1000, 2000, 300 or 4000 total articles assessed. For those interested in automated edits, the script '''Rater.js''' has been tested and found to work on WikiProject India articles. All are welcome to participate in the drive, including those who are not part of WikiProject India :) . Expect to find periodic updates on this talk page and on <wikimedia-india> and <wikimedia-in-en> mailing lists :) Happy editing, Ashwin Baindur (User:AshLin)

by Satdeep Gill 16 Aug '21

16 Aug '21

Hello everyone, Today India celebrates 75 years of independence from British rule but this date also reminds us of the partition and its aftermath. To both celebrate and commemorate this occasion, we are excited to launch a new photography competition named Share Your Struggle: *https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Share_Your_Struggle_2021 <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Share_Your_Struggle_2021>* The first iteration of Share Your Struggle will run from *15 August 2021 to 31st August 2021*. For this pilot, the scope is limited to images and videos from India. The goal of the project is to improve coverage of free usable media files related to various struggles, such as, natural disasters <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_disasters>, health crises such as COVID-19 pandemic <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic>, social movements <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_movement>, conflict-torn areas, and any other humanitarian crises <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanitarian_crisis>. The goal is not only to document crises, but also humanitarian efforts and acts of kindness that happen during such crises. The scope of the project includes *images* and *video* files. Make sure to read the *Rules and FAQ <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Share_Your_Struggle_2021/Rules_a…>* for the competition before uploading any images or videos. We also suggest you read *"Photographs of identifiable people <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Photographs_of_identifiable_peop…>"* and *"Exif <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Exif>"* pages on Wikimedia Commons.. We are still looking for more people to join the team of volunteers <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Share_Your_Struggle_2021/Team> to help organize this event now and hopefully in the future as well. If you are interested to join, feel free to sign up on this form <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdhPyDb-o0YrjtdyCFDGrS-BDL31sb0Xfc…> .

Indic Wikisource meetup at Wikimania Unconforence : 14th August 2021 - 7:30 PM (IST)
by Jayanta Nath 14 Aug '21

14 Aug '21

Hello all, I have booked an Indic Wikisource Meetup at Wikimania Unconference <https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2021:Unconference> on 14th August 7:30 PM (IST). The tables in the Unconference can only accommodate 20 people max. So, if there are enough interested Indic Wikisourcers, multiple tables can also be booked for a given period of time, but the inherent structure of the Remo platform will prevent inter-table interaction among participants, which is the only disadvantage. So I would request that Indic Wikisource admins and active proofreaders or who are willing to participate in Indic wikisource proofread-thon, please join this meetup. This will fulfill two things. 1) Participate Wikimania 2021 2) Resolve any queries about Indic wikisource proofread-thon 2021 ( Main Topic) Regards, Jayanta
