Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] COIL : Are " foreigners " deleting Wikipedia's India content?

[Srikanth Lakshmanan]

Very true Tinu, Most people just dont get policies right. I am sure its a
standard practice by experienced users now to use a {{Welcome}} template,
but very few users actually go through them. I think a better, fun,
interactive way [read quiz/survey] of reaching out the wikipolicies will
help. Probably this can be a criteria to make the user autoconfirmed. That
way we could have fewer users leaving after their first page being deleted.
Just a thought.

[CherianTinu Abraham]

Hi,
Achal Prabhala had once casually but rightly asked , Are Malayalam
Wikipedians "on steroids" ? I think I will have to agree with his remarks
:)

After the success of 5 Malayalam Wikiacademy this year, 3 more are planned
for this month of October alone.

The 5th WikiAcademy was held at Kozhikode (Calicut) on Oct 10, 2010.

This Wikipedia workshop was attended by over 76 Wiki enthusiasts.

The upcoming Wikiacademies on this month of October are

6) Kannur ( Oct 30, 2010)
http://ml.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Kannur_wikipedia_Academy_1
Venue : S.S.A Hall, Municipal Higher Secondary School, Kannur.

7) Kottayam ( Oct 30, 2010)
http://ml.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Kottayam_wikipedia_Academy_1
Venue : Baker Memorial HSS Kottayam Auditorium

8) Kasaragod ( Oct 31, 2010)
http://ml.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Kasargod_wikipedia_Academy_1

This will cover 6 of 14 districts of Kerala state. There are plans for Wiki

Are " foreigners " deleting Wikipedia's India content?

http://www.ciol.com/News/News/News-Reports/Are-foreigners-deleting-Wikipedias-India-content/142555/0/


I think we need to also focus in our outreach programmes to tell people why
would a content be deleted or altered on Wikipedia

Thoughts?

[Wikimediaindia-l] History of Wikipedia in India

[Gautam John]

So I was attempting to write a 2000 word piece on the history of
Wikipedia in India. Any pointers you have will be most appreciated -
historical stuff too.

Sundar pointed me to this:
http://ta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tamil_Wikipedia:_A_Case_Study

What would be helpful is some sort of chronology on the history of of
Indic language Wikipedias and Indian involvement with Wikimedia
projects.

Thank you.

Best,

Gautam
