hi,<div><br></div><div>Going through the Timeline for Wiki Loves Monuments 2012[1], I sent a mail to Lodewijk for what they meant by &quot;start a heritage project on your local wikipedia and analyse if the community wants to join your project&quot;. To which he sent these two WikiProjects as examples[2][3]. I went to search for similar WikiProjects in India and since User:AshLin was around on chat, I asked him for help. He provided me this list of helpful projects under WikiProject India[4].</div>
<div><br></div><div>Since this was a picture related project, User:AshLin did not want to burden them on any of the &quot;pure article based departments&quot;. </div><div><br></div><div>This is the condition so far. The only group that has the closest connection to the Wiki Loves Monuments is the Indian history workgroup[5]. As a hack for User:AshLin&#39;s concern, I suggested that the Photography department[6] of WP:India be given the role and that it work with the Indian history workgroup in this particular case. This work was supposed to be done in February, but hopefully we can do it now. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Going back to Noopur&#39;s email, once the Indian history workgroup is okay, we can seek their help in putting together the list of Monuments. I also wonder if INTACH can be involved as an institutional partner, but that comes much later, I guess. Wikipedia first.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I would love to hear any alternatives to this idea of taking Wiki Loves Monuments or would love to see a discussion on the talk pages of this group to their perception on Wiki Loves Monuments and if they&#39;ll be interested in being involved. Any help is welcome!</div>
<div><br></div><div>warm regards,</div><div>User:Prad2609<br><br><br><br>[1] -

Have sent them a mail and was searching thru their listings. A few cities do have comprehensive listing so we can expand our own list. Could I suggest that we start a list on our Wiki somewhere? That way we can draw upon sources and make our own big list. </div>

Heya all,<div><br></div><div>glad to see this discussion happening! It means people care, and caring people is good! The list is there of course for your needs. We just set it up as a copy of the Dutch list, but you can make any adjustments to it that mailman will allow. Also, right now I&#39;m admin, and I would also be happy to expand that to someone else - but maybe that is for later. </div>



<div><br></div><div>The list is mainly intended to make your life easier. In NL we indeed chose to keep private archives but open subscription - that way keeping it out of google, but anyone who wanted to join discussion could just do so and see the archive. That was like Noopur explained indeed mainly to avoid that discussions about partners end up on a private mail with many people in cc. So yeah, there are reasons - but it is up to you as a team to decide whether you want to maintain the status quo :)</div>

So, I wasn&#39;t sure if these conversations should be public. <div>




However, now that we have substantial number of people on the list, we could just take a vote and figure out the best combination.</div><div>Regards</div><div><span><font color="#888888">Noopur<br><br></font></span><div class="gmail_quote">

<div>We have already forwarded this to our relevant Wiki loves monuments list just to avoid flooding this one. Here is the list address: <a href="mailto:wlm-in@lists.wmnederland.nl" target="_blank">wlm-in@lists.wmnederland.nl</a>. </div>
