[Wikimedia-l] Bhubaneswar Heritage Edit-a-thon

[Sailesh Patnaik]

Dear Wikimedians,

I am happy to announce that  Bhubaneswar Heritage Edit-a-thon

has started with great enthusiasm and will continue till 10 November 2017.
The Odia Wikipedia community and the CIS-A2K have partnered with
Bhubaneswar Development Authority with the purpose to improve Wikipedia
articles and establish Bhubaneswar as a QRpedia city.

I invite Wikipedians to add the heritage sites of Bhubaneswar by creating
or improving articles in their language Wikipedias. You can see some
suggestions here

and report
your contribution *here
*
.

If you are an experienced Wikimedian and want to lead this initiative, become
an ambassador

and
help to make the event a bigger success.

I would like to thank Odia Wikimedia User Group, CIS-A2K, Wikimedia Sweden
and WikiProject India (Wikidata) for supporting the event.

Please help us spread the word!

Gerard,

Thanks for that info. That helps a lot for managing a workflow required for
heritage places which have multiple monuments.

[Gerard Meijssen]

Hoi,
When it is QRcodes for the monuments, a registration in Wikidata will get
you a QRcode. You will find them in Reasonator. Reasonator is multi
lingual.. it just takes the effort to label the items.
Thanks,
  GerardM

It's a six months long effort.

As the QRcodes will be installed in the signage of the monuments, we want
to make this editathon a multi-lingual editathon. So that it will be
helpful for tourists to access the information of the monuments in their
own languages.

> Are you also looking at improving

We want to improve it in many Wikimedia projects, including Commons,
Wikidata..
For sure we will look into Wikivoyage. Thank you for suggesting.
Your help and support will make this project a successful project.

[Wikimedia-l] Bhubaneswar Heritage Edit-a-thon

[Sailesh Patnaik]

Hello all!

Greetings from Odia Wikipedia community!

I am happy to share that the Odia Wikipedians have succesfully forged a
partnership with Bhubaneswar Development Authority to conduct the
Bhubaneswar Heritage edit-a-thon.

This edit-a-thon is aimed to improve Bhubaneswar's digital presence – and
establish Bhubaneswar as a QRpedia city. With this edit-a-thon, Bhubaneswar
will be the first city in India to install QRpedia codes in all of its
heritage monuments.
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Bhubaneswar_Heritage_Edit-a-thon(page under
construction)

Bhubaneswar, also known as the "Temple City of India" has nearly 300
ancient temples of the Kalinga style architecture that dates back to the
late 6th century. This edit-a-thon will happen in two phases, In the first
phase, the BDA will release images and information of all state and
ASI-protected monuments under CC license to improve Wikipedia articles. The
second phase will be for unprotected monuments.

This edit-a-thon will take place globally in the month of August or
September. The BDA will provide souvenirs from Odisha to the Top 3
International and National (Indian) contributors. I request interested
Wikimedians to please sign up for this edit-a-thon and help Odia
Wikipedians to make this project a success. I will update other details on
the User Talk page of interested volunteers.
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Bhubaneswar_Heritage_Edit-a-thon/Participants

Thanks and Regards
