[1] The funds primarily cover the salaries of the people belonging to the CIS-A2K team among other administrative expenses and other expenses as outlined on their proposal page. The proposal was up for Community review and comments until April 30th and many have recorded their response about it [2]. Several community members have come forward in pointing out that the staff salaries being paid and that being proposed - are quite on the higher side (which is up to 2.4 Lakhs per month per person). Apart from the concerns on extremely high salaries for Indian norms of the team members of CIS-A2K team, there have been some serious concerns raised about some apparent Conflict of Interest [3] and non-compliance with the local laws (mainly Karnataka Societies act and the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act). However, looks like the proposal has moved forward through the FDC process for funding despite the concerns raised and has gotten through to the next stage. More concerns have now been raised by several community members on the Staff Assessment discussion page here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants_talk:APG/Proposals/2013-2014_round2/… I invite you to participate in the discussion and help steer this in the right direction.

Thanks Nitika for the update, I went through the link that you have provided. Regarding language selection criteria, one of the point out of four given points, is: >>*Willingness of that particular language community to interact and engage with the A2K team.* Though we tried approaching other language communities, >>we were given to understand that they would like to consider engaging with us at a later point. We have respected the community's decision and are open to >>work with a couple of language areas later in time. Did you approach Gujarati Wikipedia in similar manner? I have kept two admins of Guj. wiki. so that they also come to know about my question. *>>Familiarity of the A2K team members with the language.* Each of us are editors/can edit in most of the above language Wikipedias. >>This will give us an insider's perspective of what is happening in that particular language community and the Wikimedia projects. that is mentioned as the last point, it sounds like this was the only criterion that worked towards selection of languages. and I feel it is nice way to say that "these are the languages that we like and hence we started working on it. Awaiting some lights on this.

Re: [Wikipedia-gu] [Wikimediaindia-l] Attn: Wikisource communities - Don't waste your time typing text. Get paid.
by Dhaval S. Vyas 01 May '14

Thank you Ravi for making us aware that WMF is happily funding content generation (or in nicer term Content upload) as Asaf from WMF and User Blue Rasberry have suggested. This is a great news for my Gujarati wikisource community, whom I am including in this reply. Dear Gujarati Wiki Community, Please visit the link in below email, where Wikimedia Foundation (shortly known as WMF) is suggesting that they are funding (in simpler term paying) for content upload. This is the task that we all are doing free of cost so far. Because you have uploaded hundreds (may be thousands) of pages so far as we have created 50+ books on gu.wikisource, all our efforts will be paid now by WMF (in fact should have been paid so far as well). If you have any doubt, reach out to User:Bluerasberry and User:Ijon on meta ( meta.wikimedia.org). Asaf (User:Ijon) clearly suggests that Bots are under the paid activity considered by WMF. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants_talk:APG/Proposals/2013-2014_round2/… Get as much benefit you get of WMF's this offer. Hi Asaf, Can the community claim back the money that would have hypothetically been paid to if they applied for the grant before they started uploading the content of rare literature?

Re: [Wikipedia-gu] Urdu Wikipedia crosses the 50,000 mark
by વિહંગ વ્યાસંગી 25 Apr '14

25 Apr '14

Hello, Have never visited Urdu Wikipedia myself, but from the face of data shared by user dvyas, this sounds like a gross manipulation. 23000 articles in just two months? and how many users contributed? Even if we assume that 100 users contributed everyday, this comes to approx 4 new articles everyday... Do they have so many users available? Otherwise this sounds like GROSS MANIPULATION. *Wikipedia in any languages should exist to serve Knowledge. and Knowledge is better represented by the quality of articles and not by numbers.* Any automated process can generate lot many pages. For example, Using LibreOffice on Linux, anyone can generate thousands of articles with very little knowledge about computer programming. My point here is that even BOT is not required to generate pages. Lots many pages can be generated by using latest version of LibreOffice and a small amount of Linux Programming. and the fun part if that it would look like pages created by legitimate users. So let us stay away from NUMBER GAME. If we really really want to increase no of pages, it MUST be by using legitimate users and legitimate content. Thats all. Regards, >Good News Muzammil, >But I have seen questions raised for you regarding this number. People have >found out that till mid February there were only around 27 thousand pages, >how did Urdu wikipedia reach 50,000 mark in 2 months? Someone also found >that most of the recent activity is due to Bot operation and 90% of pages >are less than 20kb in size, which means they are nearly substubs. >Can you please clarify all these? >Thanks, >User: Dsvyas >On 24 Apr 2014 18:04, "muzammil" <muzammil(a)cis-india.org> wrote: >> Dear friends, >> >> I am pleased to inform you that today the Urdu Wikipedia has crossed the >> 50,000 articles mark. >> >> I am honoured to be a humble contributor of this Wikipedia which has >> reached a dream milestone which is yet to be covered by many other >> Wikipedias. >> >> The focus, as the community feels, will now shift on referencing and >> elaborating many of the existing articles to satisfactory levels. >> >> Also, the next target is to cross the 1,00,000 articles mark. >> >> >> Regards, >> Muzammil. >>
