Hi all,
I have volunteered earlier to help out with the backend work. I will also be able to do
some Outreach work.
I hope others will also volunteer. :)
Cheerio,

Hi all,
After last year, I was thrilled to see the huge participation of Indian people in Wiki
Loves Monuments! The huge amount of pictures and new users (from the top of my head, more
than 2000 participants from India alone, ranking it with distance above all other
countries) was unique, but also was the huge enthusiasm of those people. It clearly showed
how proud Indians are of their cultural heritage. Of course this was perhaps best
illustrated by having 2 (!) Indian pictures in the top-10 of the world best monument
photos.
For 2013, I hope that there will be another Indian contest, but that doesn't happen
all by itself, for that your help is needed. Arnav and Karthik have requested your help
(I'm not sure if you've seen it though), and I think that without some help, it
would be very hard to organize the contest. I'm not 100% sure if the board of
Wikimedia India has already committed itself to organizing the contest (and making
available the necessary budget for prizes etc), but I'm confident that if there is
enough enthusiasm, that will not be a big issue.
So what do you say? Are you willing to help out organizing the Wiki Loves Monuments photo
competition in 2013? Worl that needs to be done includes on-wiki work (tidying up the
monument lists, adding information such as coordinates, categorizing and checking images
as they come in etc - quite boring but you can do it whenever and where ever you like) but
also a bit more organizational: setting procedures for judging, helping find suitable jury
members, sponsors, translating the website and interfaces, doing some PR for the contest,
finding government and NGO-partners for the contest in India etc.
You have a wonderful base to work from, I sincerely hope some volunteers will pick up the
challenge and beat last year's contribution!
Looking forward to many more Taj Mahal pictures,

Hey,
After (virtually) helping Karthik in WLM 2012 and seeing other countries expressing their
interest to participate in WLM '13, I request Indian Community interested in helping
organize WLM '13 to start planning and discussions for the same.
If anyone is interested to help, please get in touch with Karthik or me so that we can
start planning for India's successful participation in WLM '13. Thanks.
