To: Wikimedia Mailing List 


Dear friends,
Our colleague User:Khalid Mahmood, the most prolific contributor to the Western 
Punjabi Wikipedia[1], has died earlier this month, after long illness.
Khalid was an educator from Pakistan who was passionate about creating and 
sharing free knowledge.  He had great plans for promoting the mission in 
Pakistan.  He has made more than 67 thousand edits across the projects.  He 
attended Wikimania 2012 and 2014, where some of us met him.
If you wish to leave condolences or share memories of Khalid, I suggest his 
talk page on 
Meta:https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Khalid_Mahmood#Condolences_and_remembrances

Yours,
   Asaf
[1] Western Punjabi [used in Pakistan] and Eastern Punjabi [used in India] are 
practically the same language, but Western is written in the Perso-Arabic 
Shahmukhi script, whereas Eastern is written in the Gurmukhi script.)  --

[Saqib Qayyum]

Thanks all.Just a silly thought but I was wondering if an informal regional 
umbrella organisation could be setup to make links between South Asian Wiki 
communities and to promote cooperation among South Asian chapters/user groups.. 
So far we have 2 chapters (India, Bangladesh) and two user group (Pakistan, 
Nepal). 
Indian chapter is doing great so we (other South Asian communities) can learn a 
lot from you guys.

Dear Dhaval,

Thanks so much for your question. Access to CIS email id, admin privileges on 
our website content management system, subscription to staff newsletter, access 
to staff calendar etc. are only revoked when a ex-partner, ex-staffer, 
ex-intern and ex-volunteer makes a request or there is grave risk to our 
objectives. I could give you a list of ex-CIS folk with contact details if you 
would like to verify this. We have mostly assumed good faith since July 2008 :-)


When we articulate the same value in CIS's institutional ethos as trust 
everybody or amorphous institutional boundary. I will have a discussion with 
Muzammil and the team to find out whether it would be advisable for him to post 
using this id to the Wikimedia mailing lists. 


With apologies for the confusion caused by our protocols,

Sunil

Dear  Vyas,


  

  Good News Muzammil,

  

  But I have seen questions raised for you regarding this
  number. People have found out that till mid February there
  were only around 27 thousand pages, how did Urdu wikipedia
  reach 50,000 mark in 2 months?

  


I will have to examine the extent of bot activity. However, a
high level of bot activity was also seen on Hindi Wikipedia in
the past.


  

  Someone also found that most of the recent activity is due to
  Bot operation and 90% of pages are less than 20kb in size,
  which means they are nearly substubs.

  


I would rate most as stubs. But even these can be forerunners
for good articles of the future.



Regards,

Muzammil

trains go by.
And the way he stares --- feel like locking my door
and pulling my phone from the wall.
His eyes, like lights from a laser, burn
making my hair stand --- making the goose-bumps crawl.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Wikimedia user group in Pakistan

[Saqib Qayyum]

Thank you all for your best wishes. I really appreciate such a good response 
from the Indian community.
@Arjuna, we already have a mailing list for Pakistani Wikimedian community so I 
think there's no necessity of IRC room as well.
@Rohini, I would like to see your valuable contributions to Wikivoyage. 
@Sibi, I liked your idea, currently most of the Wikimedians interested in this 
user group are actually based in Karachi so we will more focus on Karachi 
especially.
@Tejaswini, we already have many Wikimedia projects (in local language such as 
Urdu, Punjabi, Sindhi and Pashto.

If you are doing anything about including local languages in Wikipedia I would 
be very happy to share whatever plans are being made in India.
Regards and best wishes,Tejaswini

Dear Indian Wikimedians,


Although Wikimedia chapter for Pakistan is still in the discussion phase, we've 
working on creating of an official Wikimedia User Group, since the numbers of 
our community members at the moment are not sufficient for the creation of a 
chapter.


The main objective of this user group will be to act as a voice and 
representative for the Pakistani Wikimedian community and to promote Wikipedia 
and various Pakistani language Wikimedia Foundation projects throughout 
Pakistan and further strengthen the community.


The initial goals our user group will be: 

Organise regular meetings and meetups in major cities of Pakistan for 
discussions etc and planning of a Wikipedia workshop and Wikipedia Takes The 
City photo contest in 2014

To empower and engage Pakistani Wikimedians in both on-wiki and off-wiki 
activitiesGrowth of the Wikimedian community in Pakistan

Creation of Wikimedia Pakistan chapter in the long run
Some ideas and suggestions from Indian chapter members will be welcomed and 
highly appreciated.


regards
Saqib
