Hi everyone, I am excited to share with all of you that User:Varinder Naturaphile previously known as User:ਵਰਿੰਦਰ ਸ਼ਰਮਾ has officially launched Wiki Loves Wild Flowers today, 22 May 2019 which is the International Day for Biological Diversity.[1] Varinder is a member of the Faridkot District Biodiversity Committee and a Coordinator for documentation of flora and fauna. I am glad that his expertise will help in including quality content on our platforms. This will range from adding images to Commons to add local names in Wikidata and possibly create new Wikipedia articles. Over the next few months, he will be working on the initial list of 124 different species of wild flowers found in the Punjab region as a pilot. Your feedback will be deeply appreciated. 1. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Wild_Flowers Regards Satdeep Gill _______________________________________________ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from the list / change mailing preferences visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l

Hi Aswhin, If you check the project page: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Wild_Flowers, you will find the the list with scientific names in roman script. Common names haven't been added in any language yet. Best Satdeep On Fri, 24 May, 2019, 9:12 AM Ashwin Baindur, <ashwin.baindur(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Request that a list of the plants (with scientific names) in Roman script be made available. So that others can help too. On Wed, May 22, 2019, 10:14 PM sushant savla <sushant_savla(a)rediffmail.com> wrote:

Thanks Satdeep for sharing this with us. Varinder, congratulations for starting this project - sounds quite interesting. Just wanted to pick your brain if you have considered using an intermediary app like iNaturalist (https://www.inaturalist.org) which has a community of its own and helps identify the species. For someone who is a beginner might find it useful. The good thing is iNaturalist supports CC licenses and the community is quite active so transferring pictures might not be an issue. I got introduced to it in a National Geographic workshop in Hong Kong and got hooked for sometime. Once again, thank you for starting this project. Will try to explore some wild flowers around my place and contribute too and of course, will spread the word. :-) Subha On Fri, May 24, 2019 at 11:25 PM manoj k <manojkmohanme03107(a)gmail.com> wrote:
