He wrote about his for the Institution of Civil Engineers in 1897. The edition can be found here.[1] The edition contains chapters on the Diversion of the Periyar and The Periyar Tunnel followed by discussion and correspondences on the same. I really wish we did more stuff like this in 2011, but that is a different discussion. Interestingly, these articles - dated to 1897 (!!!) are pay-walled. Each of the article I mentioned above costs GBP 18! Help is needed on trying to get these articles so that they can inform the Wikipedia article now under Collaboration of the Month.

[Wikimediaindia-l] Karthik Nadar is in the banners!
Hey folks, I just saw that Indian editor Karthik Nadar is in the banners today, with a beautiful appeal. Go, India! https://wikimediafoundation.org/w/index.php?title=L11_1202_KN/en/USutm_source=B11_1202_Karthik2utm_medium=sitenoticeutm_campaign=C11_1202_DayvMat_USlanguage=enuselang=encountry=USreferrer=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FMain_Page Thanks, Sue Here's the text: From Wikipedia author Karthik Nadar On the day a terrorist attack ripped through the heart of my city, Wikipedia changed my life. The 2011 bombings in Mumbai made international headlines, but at the moment the crisis struck, there was no straightforward information about what had happened. I knew I couldn’t be the only one looking for answers. So I went out to take photos, uploaded a map I pasted together, and made sure the Wikipedia article on the incident would help people make sense of the chaos. Since then, I’ve made thousands of edits to Wikipedia articles. My experience that day on Wikipedia made my passion for photojournalism clear, and I’ve followed that path ever since. I felt so grateful for Wikipedia, and when I learned how it stays online, I donated 250 rupees to do my part. Will you make a donation to keep this valuable resource available around the world? Wikipedia enables us to share the world. With 470 million different visitors every month, it’s revolutionized the way we consume and spread information -- sometimes even down to the moment it happens. And it does it all for free -- with zero ads, under 1,000 servers and fewer than 100 staff. That’s amazing. Just look at Google or Facebook. They have hundreds of thousands of servers and tens of thousands of staff. It’s no wonder Wikipedia is the 5th most popular and most visited site online. And it’s also no wonder why they need support every year from people like me and you. Will you pitch in $5, $20, $50 or whatever you think Wikipedia is worth to you? Thanks, Karthik Nadar Wikipedia author -- Sue Gardner Executive Director Wikimedia Foundation 415 839 6885 office 415 816 9967 cell Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge.

Secondly if this is not possible for this year is that possible to inform the non credit card holders that they can possible pay the Wikimedia India Chapter on behalf of WMF and the chapter can transfer the funds later to the foundation. regards Subha Subha, Its simple. Chapter CANNOT accept any payment(or claim that it can accept) *on behalf* without a formal agreement. Chapter cannot enter into formal agreement due to FCRA laws. There is no point in talking about this in 11th hour, there was a chance in May 2011, chapter worked towards it, but was not able to beat the legal hurdles, we just need to wait one more year. -- Regards Srikanth.L ___ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from the list / change mailing preferences visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l -- * ସୁ ଭା ସି ସ ପା ଣି ଗା ହି ** S u b h a s i s a P a n i g a h i ** ଓଡ଼ିଆ ଉଇକିପିଡ଼ିଆ ___ Wikipedia Odia (Oriya) mailing list wikipedia...@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikipedia-or facebook.com/OdiaWiki Tweet @OdiaWiki * ___ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from the list / change mailing preferences visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l

[Wikimediaindia-l] New site for easy navigation of Wikipedia
Hi All, A new prototype site http://wikilive.in/ has been developed by an Indian student Deepanshu Mehndiratta, a second year engineering student at BITS-Pilani KK Birla Goa Campus has come up with a real time live search srvice for Wikipedia. As of now it works only for English Wikipedia (Probably the team might not be aware of the other language Wikipedias, esp Indic Wikipedias), but it has potentials to be a useful tool, especially live preview of multiple pages from Wikipedia at a time without opening them in multiple windows. In fact if you are logged in to Wikipedia then it'll be just like opening any Wikipedia page under one header. My personal opinion about this site is good overall though there are many more features could be added. First of all, the no of article names it shows is just 5/6 (which is very less). Hope, the developers get some feedback from Wikipedians to enhance their site. regards * ସୁ ଭା ସି ସ ପା ଣି ଗା ହି ** S u b h a s i s a P a n i g a h i ** ଓଡ଼ିଆ ଉଇକିପିଡ଼ିଆ ___ Wikipedia Odia (Oriya) mailing list wikipedia...@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikipedia-or facebook.com/OdiaWiki Tweet @OdiaWiki * ___ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from the list / change mailing preferences visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] FW: [Wikipedia-l] Creation of new language - Ahirani
Ahrinai is one of the languages of Khandeshi languages http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khandeshi_languagesgroup. I assume Ahirani language is eligible for a test wiki in Wikimedia incubatorhttp://incubator.wikimedia.org. It has valid ISO code also. May be Gerard or some one else from LC can provide more details. Please follow the instructions documented by Kundan in the last few slides of this PDFhttp://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:State_of_wikimedia_Communities_of_India_2011_November.pdfto create a test wiki in Wikimedia incubator.
