hi,
I wanted to know status of my application for membership to the india chapter. It has been over 4 weeks & i have not recieved any kind of intimation. I just wanted to know whether my application & the rest of the members of Wikipedia club Pune, have been accepted or not.
Thanking you,
Yohann Thomas Wikipedia Club Pune yohannvt@gmail.com
Hi Yohan, just to let you know, please email all Membership related queries to membership@wikimedia.in The India mailing list isn't exactly a place to ask such questions as it'd be a privacy violation.
Cheers,

Hi Yohann,
Same is the situation with me! I wanted to know the status of my application too!! Actually I got a mail saying that my old membership no. is missing so we are unable to process the form. Given the situation that I'm a new member and did applied for the fresh membership which was duly mentioned in the form.
We would be glad if anyone can help us over this and not by someone who is callow enough to say "The India mailing list isn't exactly a place to ask such questions as it'd be a privacy violation".
Besides, new question arises "privacy violation" of what? and how?? and if we are considering "privacy violation" of the membership status or the process of the membership enrollment, its not some sort of a confidential thing! Ain't it??

Honourable Niraj sir, the person who you are referring to as callow is the Treasurer of the Chapter. You have called him Callow on a public list, do remember that.
Yes, it would be a privacy violation and I, among other people DO NOT WANT TO KNOW about your membership status. So as Srikanth asked, please send your mail in to the email address specified.

Niraj,
1) Your application had the option "renewal" checked and the member id space left blank. That is the reason you received such a mail. And that mail also clearly stated that you could send in another application. From your current mail I understand you have made a mistake while filling the form. In such cases WM IN cannot correct forms filled by members. Please send a fresh application form.
2) We don't publish membership information in a public forum. Members are free to self identify themselves, but we refrain from doing so unless they wish us to. Yohann sent a mail to this list and Srikanth pointed him to the correct avenue to address his query. This is not us being callow. This is us being professional.
3) There are established channels of communication (members@wikimedia.in) to where you can direct your membership related queries. That is where WM IN EC members or the Executive Manager can reply to you in an official capacity. We would have been more than happy to clarify your queries. Please direct any future queries there.

Hello Bala Sir,
A very good sunday morning,
1)
Can I get a reference regarding "From your current mail I understand you have made a mistake while filling the form", which mail exactly to be precise?
Or is it the case that the exec council inspects all the incoming applications and that is why Sir you are in a position to understand the mistake?
Lets consider it sorted for a while and as stated by the mail I received
" Hello Mr. Suryawanshi,
We have received your membership application found it to be incomplete with the following field(s) missing:
1. Current membership no.
We are therefore not in a position to accept this application and are unable to process it. *This does not stop you from making a fresh fully completed application in the future.*
Thanking you, Wikimedia India Chapter "
here I'm indicated to apply freshly for the same.
Is there any way I can get a refund of the reg. fees which I had submitted with the form, in the given case where my form is denied? I would be more than glad if at all there is a way that I could get the same.
please kindly revert me to the concerned email address.
2)
Sir I wished the applicants would receive a email about their application status, since Mr. Yohann didn't get one and that's the exact reason why he was compelled to ask a question.
In my case as I did get an email, and it would have been a case showing extreme proficiency if the finances were considered regarding refund.

Niraj,
1)You sent a form with "renewal" option ticked and membership ID field empty. We were unable to process it and replied saying the membership form is incomplete, and please resubmit a complete form with member ID. From your current mail to the India list (your reply to yohann), I understood your mistake was not leaving an incomplete member ID field but ticking "renewal" instead of "new".
2) No the EC does not process all the membership forms. The Executive Manager at Bangalore usually does this work. But the EC does share the workload whenever possible. In your case (and all the other forms the Wikipedia Pune Club handed over to Sudhanwa), I was involved in processing because I was at Bangalore at that time and was helping our manager with the processing work. That is the reason I am able to respond to this mail personally. If you had directed these queries in a reply to the mail from members@wikimedia.in mail id, this would have been cleared up easily and quickly.
3) As indicated in the official communication, you can submit a complete and correct membership application again. Or if you want to take back your application and want us to return your money, then mail to the members id in detail and we will take care of it. This is the last time I will reply to you on this issue in this list. This is a public community mailing list and not the chapter's administrative channel. Please direct your queries there.

Hi Niraj,
I received membership forms along with the money (cash) through a student in Symbiosis who got them from someone else and I believe Abhishek collected all the forms and money originally and passed it to be given to me.
After I came back from Banglore, I carried 200 Rs. back for the 2 forms that had problems. I tried to find the same student again to return the money but could not locate him.
Finally, I had a chat with Abhishek some days back and I told him about it. We were supposed to meet for the money handover but that meeting has not yet happened.
As such, 200 Rs. for those 2 forms are with me and I can return it directly to you, Yohann. Please co-ordinate with me *offlist* for the same.
I hope this clarifies the money matters.
Regards -Sudhanwa

On the status of niraj's application, i dont agree with bala Just because he ticked one wrong box does not mean that his application should be rejected.
This is equivalent to red tapism & might discourage other ethusiatic people to join the chapter.
I am not saying the decision is wrong but could be avoided.

Hi Yohann,
Wikimedia India is not an informal organisation. We are a registered society in Karnataka, India. We need to comply with all the formal processes and regulatory bindings that entails. We need to make sure all our documents including membership forms are properly processed and compliant with all the regulatory requirements we have. This is not red tape, this is being compliant with the law. Failing to do this will lead to audit failures which inturn will have repercussions in our smooth functioning. We cannot alter membership applications on our own - even it is one single box. When we processed Niraj's application we promptly replied to Niraj saying we cannot process it, clearly indicated what was missing in it and asked him to resubmit a completed form.
regards Bala

I wanted to know status of my application for membership to the india chapter. It has been over 4 weeks & i have not recieved any kind of intimation. I just wanted to know whether my application & the rest of the members of Wikipedia club Pune, have been accepted or not.
Thanking you,
