Hi everyone,
As you know, WikiProject India
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_India> is celebrating
the 8th birthday of Wikidata
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Eighth_Birthday/India> this October
and on this occasion, CIS-A2K <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CIS-A2K>
will be sending *Wikidata special merchandise* to *all Indian affiliates*
and *communities* upon request as well as *active Wikidata contributors
residing in India*.
*Affiliates and Communities*
Please note,
- *All Indian affiliates* are welcome to request for Wikidata special
merchandise and/or infrastructure. There is no need for community
notification. But, affiliate contacts or board members or executive
committee members or people in similar positions, who can represent the
affiliate, need to do the request.
- *All Indian language communities*, except those who have geographical
affiliates, are welcome to request for Wikidata special merchandise
requests. But, the community should decide on-wiki and have clear consensus
to whom the merchandise will be sent.
- Indian language communities having geographical affiliates are
requested to discuss any need with their respective affiliates first and
ask them to request them on their behalf.
- Only *one request for each* affiliate or language community will be
accepted.
- It is expected that the requests for merchandise and/or infrastructure
should be practical enough to be used by community members and within the
budget of *maximum INR 10,000 for each affiliates*.
- CIS-A2K will not design for the merchandise. If any custom design is
preferred, the affiliate or the community should upload it to Wikimedia
Commons as svg format and send the link to CIS-A2K, which will be taken
care of, while printing it. The design should be Wikidata specific only.
If this sounds interesting, please feel free to request here -

*Active contributors*
- CIS-A2K will *pro-actively send* different gifts or merchandise as
small token of appreciation for active Wikidata contributors from India.
Contributors *do not have to request* them.
- Merchandise can be in the form of T-shirts or mementos or other
things. The budget allocated for each contributor is *INR 1,000*.
- CIS-A2K will take care of the designing part.
Regards,
Bodhisattwa
Wikidata Co-ordinator, CIS-A2K
