I'm not sure the proper procedure for this, but is there a way we could get some volunteers to help translate the WIkimania scholarship page? http://wikimania2012.wikimedia.org/wiki/Scholarships As English aptitude is critical for maximum benefit from the event, the application is all in English. But we like to have the information page available in multiple languages, so that people can be 100% clear on the details of the program, and what they will be "judged" on.

Hi, We should write the email to wikipedia-gu into Gujarati, but due to my mobile limitation, I cant write into Gujarati. Well, I was thinking that we should share Gujarati Wikipedia Topics to write articles. Suppose, a wikipedian who writes only for some particular topic. For e.g. I am writing article about Computer related. And I also edit it if it already exists. So we should be create community for particular topics, the community member will edit related article. What's your idea ?

Wikipedia Gujarati is quite active and not at all Dead
by Dhaval S. Vyas 17 Jan '12

17 Jan '12

Hi All, I have come to know a surprising fact that in the Wiki meetup recently held in Ahmedabad, while discussing about Gujarati Wikipedia, one of the administrators conveyed that Gujarati project is almost inactive or dead (in gujarati વિકિપીડિયા ગુજરાતી પ્રોજેક્ટ લગભગ બંધ છે.). This is very shameful for anybody to convey wrong message. If one is not aware of the project activity, despite of presentation made by one of the Gujarati Wikipedian in WikiConference India and from the site statistics/traffic report shared with all Indian WIki Language wikipedia by Wikimedia Foundation's India chapter (Shiju Alex recently shared this), they should have accepted their lack of knowledge and conveyed that they are not aware of what's happening with Gujarati Wikipedia or they are ignorant of its state. It is damaging for the growing community that in such vital events people convey wrong message to the masses. I hope some of the attendess of the meetup would read this and correct their mistake by spreading the word of Gujarati WIkipedia and its current state in successive meetups as their moral duty to pay back the debt. This email is not at all intended to hurt anyone, but just to make everyone aware that there has never been a single day, including Gujarati New Year day or Uttarayan, when gu.wiki would have fewer than 50 edits. What else could be an indication of how active this project is? We have almost 22,000 pages on gu.wiki. If anyone need full statistics, please contact me and I will be more than happy to share the same. Regards, Dhaval

Hello everyone, As said earlier couple of weeks ago in my mail, I covered the Lakhota Museum Jamnagar through my camera as a part of small GLAM activity, I am happy to announce that my work is almost over. I urge everyone to have a look at Lakhota Museum Jamnagar<http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Lakhota_Museum_Jamnagar> Gallery. Two of the images from it Lakhota (building)<http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lakhota_Lake_Museum.JPG> and Shri Ranjit Singh<http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Shri_Ranjit_Singhji.JPG> got rated as Quality Image too. Also some of the images in exhibit section at the bottom have some problems like reflection of light from the room, its simply because I was in a bit hurry to cover the entire museum, and it was my debut to cover any museum. I would love to hear from you guys about it. Please do reply. -- Thanks Arnav (ricku). (User:Rangilo_Gujarati) <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Rangilo_Gujarati>
