---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Andy Mabbett Date: Saturday, 17 August 2013 Subject: Help, please, with Wikipedia Voice Intro Project To: Pradeep Mohandas <pradeep@wikimedia.in> Hi Pradeep, I am writing to ask WikimediaIN to support a project I started: http://pigsonthewing.org.uk/open-licensed-format-recordings-voices-wikipedia-wikimedia-commons/ http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Voice_intro_project In case you're not familiar with it, we ask the subjects of Wikipedia articles to record short (typically 10 seconds) of audio of their spoken voice, to go on the Wikipedia articles about them. Multi-lingual subjects can contribute in each of the languages in which they feel confident (separate files; or one long file with pauses, so that we can divide it) Your chapter can help in three ways: * Publicise the project to your members and other Wikimedians * Use your contact with Wikipedia subjects to ask them to contribute (maybe in the press, or by writing to your parliamentary authorities, actors'/ musicians' union, etc.) * Find a volunteer to translate the Commons project page into Indian languages, and put up a page, like <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Voice_intro_project>, on the relevant Wikipedias. May I count on your support, please? Do let me know if you have any questions. Best wishes, -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk -- How Pradeep uses email - http://goo.gl/6v1I9 |
