Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] [Press]: Angry with Wikileaks, Indian Union minister for law and justice Veerappa Moily "lashesagainst Wikipedia"

[jacob]

I think its part of the public education process. More people will be aware of 
Wikipedia and then know the difference. 

We should use this as an opportunity to reach out to more people.

[Srikanth Lakshmanan]

Getting sick of this popular "urban legand". Why dont we run a site notice
banner for "atleast India" alone for 2 months. """ Please Note :- Wikipedia
and Wikileaks are 2 different things""" and link to a detailed note. This
actually ought to be done on all regions, but when I last checked there was
a hue and cry against using site notice for anything at all(including
fundraisers). I think its important for Wikipedia to educate people it got
nothing to do with Wikileaks and more so in a country like India where
already awareness is low.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] 2nd Odia (Oriya) Wikipedia Academy/Workshop Bhubaneswar, 2011April03, 10 AM

[Gerard Meijssen]

Hoi,
One of the things that is raising the game for the
http://or.wikipedia.orgis that there is a steady flow of work done for
the localisation of the
MediaWiki user interface. Every day this work is brought into production so
the Odia experience is getting better on an almost daily basis.

The combination of outreach, more articles and a better experience is a
winner :)
Thanks,

Really nice points stated by you Hisham, heartfelt thanks for all these
points out of which we thought over once, you reinforced them, few of the
points which you have mentioned here are really important and we never
thought about them. I am taking a printout to make sure I don't forget them
in the course of sticking to the time.

And yes, I would love to inform that Srikant, whose mother tongue is not
Odia, but is working very eagerly for the development of Odia Wikipedia has
already done 2 campaigns in two schools by distributing posters. He is
trying to reach more students.

About the local media I have personally contacted 3 journalists and through
their contacts I am trying to reach more of the media people to create
awareness for the event. The good fact is Mr. Dhanada Mishra, who is a dean
of a management school and himself has personally taken interest to book the
venue has engaged a Bhubaneswar based organization "Ama Odisa" who are
involved in the development of Odia language and literature for a long time
and also a part of one of the popular newspapers/TV Channel/FM Radio of
Odisha.

And we are organizing a webinar in Baleswar where the viewers will be able
to watch us and will participate as we dropped the plan of traveling there
for one more academy because of shortage of time.

Again, thanks a lot for your interest and support, will be pinging you
sometime when you are online.

".. *Union minister for law and justice Veerappa Moily on Tuesday criticized
WikiLeaks for playing havoc in the democracies of many countries. These are
all products which create instability in many countries, he said.
“Information can also be misleading. There is much controversy over the
website Wikipedia, which is used as a first point of reference for many
people seeking information. Wikipedia authors are anonymous and literally
anyone can post a Wikipedia article on any subject, regardless of whether
they are qualified or know much about the subject,” he said ..*."

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] 2nd Odia (Oriya) Wikipedia Academy/Workshop Bhubaneswar, 2011April03, 10 AM

[Hisham Mundol]

Hi Subhashish 

This is an excellent agenda.  I also went through the facebook page and it's 
really good to see you using digital outreach/social networks (whatever you 
want to term it) to increase attendance of the workshop.

I thought I'd share a few comments with you (and I'd love to chat with you and 
Shiju and anyone else who's interested) about them

a) Given that (as I suspect) we might have complete newbies attending, you 
might want to consider having a "basic intro to Wikipedia" and a "how to edit 
wikipedia" session planned in.  The "how to edit Wikipedia" is the session that 
is most likely to be the most engaging to the audience so I would suggest that 
we have it relatively early on (and have a "how to edit Wikipedia Odia" later 
in the schedule as well - to discuss specific Odia language aspects.) 
b) Though it is probably not intended to be so, and it is probably not coming 
out in the agenda - it is crucial to not just inform but also inspire the 
audience to participate in Wikipedia.  The tone of the sessions ought to, 
therefore, be inspiring and fun.  (My personal view and happy to discuss
c) I think a specific aspect you could also incorporate is "what to edit?"  
...This would serve to provide some examples for those who want to start 
editing but are not sure where to begin.  As I'm going to be articulating on 
the India Programs page, the thought I had for the country is to message "Edit 
Bharat" as an overall message.  I'll add more details on the India Programs 
page - but in summary it serves as a big campaignable idea which will serve as 
an umbrella for participation.  You could interpret it as "Edit Odisha."   It 
could be brought to life by  stuff like suggesting editing pages on the state, 
or districts or the larger towns and cities or Odia culture or Odia monuments, 
etc. etc. etc. 
d) It would really be useful to understand from the audience what is the 
takeout of the session.  This could be done by simply asking people to write 
out their take-out in 5 words and having them feedback on the session with a 
simple "Very Good - Good - Average   - Below Average - Poor" scale.
e) Not sure what you have planned to keep in touch with the participants after 
the session but taking their email IDs and on a very carefully chosen frequency 
(maybe once a month for the first 3 months) - asking them how they were getting 
along and if they needed help might be something you considered.  Needless to 
say, this would only happen with their consent.
f) The last point I have is that, in my experience, outreach sessions work best 
when there is a single message that is constantly reinforced during the 
session.  If you chose to have "YOU CAN EDIT ODISHA" - then do consider 
repeating this message multiple times during the academy/workshop - and weaving 
all the sub-topics within it.  
g) You might want to consider involving the local media / press to provide 
publicity to the workshop to increase attendance.
h) You might also want to consider increasing the digital outreach and 
on-ground outreach to increase attendance.  The former could be done by 
activating social networks in schools and colleges in Bhubanewswar and the 
latter could be done by posters and word-of-mouth in these schools and colleges.

I'm really happy and eager to explain/clarify and work with you on all these 
points.  I'm going to be reaching out to you.

Last, and most certainly not the least, Good Luck!  I'm sure it will go great.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] 1 million edits in Hindi wikipedia !

[Hisham Mundol]

This is a really big milestone and congratulations are well-deserved by all 
Hindi wikipedians.  

It also lays the platform for a deeper expansion of participation and quality.  
That's actually one of the things that I would like India Programs to focus on 
- given the sheer number of Hindi speakers.  ...If there are any thoughts, 
please do share them on this mailing list or feel free to write to me directly

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Fwd: [Foundation-l] Message to community about community decline

[Nikhil Sheth]

Hi Cherian,

Thanks a ton for sharing!

I'm going through th discussions on
http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:March_2011_Update

I am finding echoes here with an earlier email I'd shot out, requesting the
community to end the "article genocide" and to treat new articles as babies:

http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:March_2011_Update#A_modest_proposal_for_.22incubating.22_new_articles_8231

I hope the community takes decisive action against the negative elements
soon before it is too late. My take : stop accepting bullying as if it's a
part of life. And let's take a stand against it.

Two solutions suggested that I think would go a long way in getting us out
of this mess:
1. Limit terms of editors (aka the privileged class) and keep a considerable
gap before they are allowed to edit again.
2. Make any deletion, if at all, a matter of voting among a panel of
randomly selected editors. Automatically this measure will also guarantee
more time provided for the article before speedy deletion that has come down
to a few minutes now.

One question that's been bugging me vis-a-vis India:
I, and many others, DO NOT TRUST our mainstream media, including our
established newspapers. They have been betraying us time and time again with
erroneous or biased coverage and in many cases, outright suppression of
stories till the point where it's inevitable. The peer-reviewed journals
culture doesn't extend to every single topic under the sun in this country.
Book culture isn't quite widespread. Many books have bias or lack sound
research. Blogs and small online news groups are more of opinion. In this
vacuum, how can wikipedia expect REFERENCES? Most references cannot be
trusted. In many cases, for genuine topics, adequate references do not exist
- compounding the need for that topic to have a presence on wikipedia.

I fear references have become a crutch and wikipedia is getting handicapped
because of them. As long as we keep putting our faith in them, the real
contributions will not come. May we ask ourselves this question : Do we want
wikipedia to be the world's largest knowledge repository, or the world's
largest reference repository?

-

I wish there were a system to "thumbs-up" comments or replies on that page,
sharing here a few good ones I found:


The Swedish language Wikipedia appoints administrators for one year at a
time. It works great and everybody is happy.
-
(this one sent me the shivers: Coz it's happened with me too!)

Recently I had an article nominated for speedy
deletionwith
an amazingly strong emphasis on "speedy". After researching other
similar articles (about websites) I proceeded to write mine. Within an hour,
a more experienced editor nominated it for speedy deletion and tagged it.
When I signed back on several hours later, I saw the tag and read that I
could request a "stay of execution", but when I went to the article it had
already been deleted by a different and apparently even more experienced
editor. And the method used for deletion requires a editor with certain
privileges to retrieve it, otherwise its actually gone from WP. I have to
locate a senior enough editor and then convince them to retrieve my article.
Rather than point out the perceived problems with my, the choice was to
erase it. It was demoralizing to say the least. -

As someone who came into the project about 18 months ago and was extremely

users, and among administrators in particular.

Asking people who tried, in current times, to write for Wikipedia how was
their experience, their answers is pretty and a little shocking revealing: “
*I gave up, the administrator was a bully, I don’t have time to deal with
that*;” or “*I just have published a small number of lines while still
writing and few seconds after my article was erased, I hate this rudeness,
scr.. up Wikipedia*.”

It is really necessary to end with personal abuses by some administrators.
The deletion of articles must be attributed to a *random commission* of
administrators composed by *dozens* of them and *never* by few couples of
them.

Subject: [Wikimedia Kenya] Offline distribution map
To: "The discussion list for the upcoming Wikimedia Kenya chapter." <
wikimedi...@lists.wikimedia.org>


 Hello!

I just wanted to direct your attention to the new offline portal on the
meta-wiki that is to be used to track all offline projects!  It can be found
here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Offline_Projects.  The goal is that
this is the place where all the offline materials and lessons learned will
be codified and able to access. So, for example, it would be great to
include the copy of your WfS User Manuel.

In particular, I was hoping you could help with populating a map designed to
capture where all the offline distributions have taken place. See this Google
Map.
There are a few examples already installed, but for each location we would
basically want to include:

   - Number of offline distributions: (i.e., #computers)
- Number impacted:  (e.g., # of students + teachers)
   - Content: (e.g., "Wikipedia for Schools")
- Language: (e.g., "English")
- Contact: (e.g., "Samson Maosa & Isaac Kosgei" (or usernames))
   - Other/Notes: (if applicable)

It would be great if we could have flags for each school the offline project
has been uploaded.  If you need help populating the map, please let me know,
and I am happy to send instructions on how to do so.

Let me know what questions you have! And please feel free to contribute to
the wiki in whatever way you think is most valuable: reorganizing, uploading
content, data, etc.

Thanks for your help! Hope you think this is valuable: I think it will be a
great way to organize volunteers, but also a great place to direct partners
to who are interested in learning more information about the purpose of the
project (e.g., Ministry of Education).

Jessie
