Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Update, Examples & Request: Wikipedia India Education Program

2011-09-05 Thread Srikeit
My 2p in response to Anirudh's question.

The nature of the program is quite different from the program in the US. The
US program focuses on the topic of Public Policy while the Indian program is
open to all disciplines.

A significant strategic difference between the Indian and US programs is the
Program Pilot.

The Pilot program in Pune is to test the various facets of strategy and
implementation of the Indian adaptation of the Campus Program. The immense
learnings from this Pilot will be extended to the nation-wide roll-out of
the program.

Another major strategic decision (unique to the India Program) has been to
appoint a full-time Fellow (PJ Tabit) for a from June through August 2011 to
. PJ was a Campus Ambassador in the US program and the chairman of the
Chairman of the Ambassador Steering committee. He was instrumental
in getting the Pilot off the ground coordinating between campus ambassadors
and professors. Having an experienced full-time person working for the
program for the initial stages was critical.

[Wikimediaindia-l] Wiki 11 Pune report

2012-01-17 Thread Srikeit
Hello All

This is a slightly belated report of the Wiki 11 celebrations in Pune on
January 15, 2012.

The celebrations were coincided with the first gathering of Wikipedia Club
Pune <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Club_Pune>. The Club
had met on the 14th where participants were instructed on the model, nature
and basics of Wikipedia.

The 15th saw 40+ participants gather in the computer lab at SICSR, Pune for
hands-on Wikipedia editing as well as the 11th anniversary celebrations.
The numbers therefore made this the *largest Wiki 11 celebration in India*.
The participants were largely high school and college students. The morning
session involved a detailed explanation of the five pillars of
Wikipedia<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Five_pillars>
stressing
the importance of contributing neutral and free content. Feedback for each
sessions was immediately gathered on the Wikipedia Club Pune Facebook
Page<https://www.facebook.com/WikipediaClubPune>
.

The second session involved hands-on editing beginning with talk page
posting, signing of posts, sandbox editing, wiki-linking etc. Then
following a detailed explanation of referencing, the participants were
encouraged (under supervision) to reference articles related to Pune.

The final session involved the business end of the Wiki-11 celebration with
a huge Wiki-globe
cake<http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wiki_Club_Pune_1.JPG>.
We were further buoyed by the presence of the WP English SIG chair Ashwin
who encouraged and helped the participants in editing and did the honours
cutting the cake. The participants and the organizers participated in a
Google+ Hangout with Hisham and the rest of the WMF office in Delhi and
Nitika and the WP 11 party in Kolkata. The participants were quite excited
with both Wikipedia and its community. Their enthusiasm was reflected in
both their editing as well as willingness to return for the next meeting of
the club.

The pictures of the event have been uploaded to commons and can be found
here <http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_11_in_India>.
The next meeting of the Wikipedia Club Pune will be on Saturday, 21st Jan.

The Wikipedia Club and celebrations were quite excellently organized by
Abhishek Suryavanshi and several other Campus Ambassadors in Pune.

Warm Regards

[Wikimediaindia-l] Rahul Dravid

2012-03-09 Thread Srikeit
Hi

Now that Dravid has retired, we will be seeing a spike in editing of the
articles. A lot of this may be highly emotional and the article may take a
severe POV battering.

I suppose POV monitoring and intervention would be more required on the
Indic language Wikis where there may be fewer editing eyeballs.

Request everyone to watchlist Rahul Dravid's article on all Indic language
wikis.

Personally, I'm trying to get people to upload more pictures of Dravid to

[Wikimediaindia-l] My post to User:Prad2609

2012-03-26 Thread Srikeit
*[Something I posted as a message to Pradeep's talk page on his decision to
retire from Wikipedia. But I think may make sense to many of you. Please
ignore if you think I'm caballing]*

*
*

*Why retire from here?*

Remember the good old days? When we used to edit in our own cocoons? The
only communication between two editors was through talk pages and the
occasional use of [[Special:Emailuser]]. And we had fun. That fun is why
we're still here.

We moved on to more communication, more outreach. All good. We need to
spread the word. We're evangelists of the noblest of causes. It's all good.

Now there are mailing lists. And IRC. And meetups. And Chat. Chain mails
and more chain mails. Each more frustrating than the other. We're all in
cabals. If not voluntarily, we're slotted into them by force of opinion. As
this message is being read by others visiting this page, I'm being slotted
into one. You have to be pro-someone and anti-someone else. And we fight
till our teeth come loose. And then some more. Politics is fun now.
Wikipedia, not so much.

And if this lack of AGF, too much BITE, BATTLE and blah is too much,
retire. But not from Wikipedia.

Retire from the mailing lists, the meetups, the cabals and the works. If
you're considering quitting Wikipedia, quit those instead. Wikipedia can
still be fun. Edit the articles on astronomy and India space projects
again. India-related patrolling. Contribute to Commons. Only respond to
messages on your talk page. And that occasional email.

As an experienced editor who's largely inactive, I've considered retiring
often rather than staying in limbo. Time and again, I've decided not to. I
may not be able to contribute regularly, but I can step in that one time
when all the experience probably counts for something. Because Wikipedia
was there for me when I really needed it and I will be there when it really
needs me.

We've been struggling with editor retention and that's understandable.
People quitting Wikipedia because it's now a battleground is
understandable. Valuable, experienced editors quitting because the mailing
lists are suffocating, is NOT.

You can edit. Always.

Cheers

Which is my point exactly. The issue is not on-wiki. And Pradeep has quit
from Wikipedia over this issue.

While I have no intention of getting involved in an already hot-headed
debate, I am concerned that an editor of 5 years has quit.

I am not underestimating issues or ignoring them. While so many are
debating about at the issue, I'm just pointing at the highly unfortunate
fallout.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Ads Injected into Wikipedia?

2012-05-06 Thread Srikeit
The screenshot shows that the person is using Chrome so I don't think the
IE point stands here.

The ads also seem to be intermittent, my friend cannot see them anymore.
Usage of https may resolve the problem, but looking for a solution with the
normal Wikipedia may be necessary as several people wouldn't want to bother
with using https.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Proposal: Wiki Marathon

2010-10-11 Thread Srikeit
A gem of an idea. I like Tinu's suggestion of creating articles for the CWG
medal winners. I remember doing something similar (individually, of course)
for the 2006 CWG.

Maybe Ravi or Tinu (someone more active than me, at least) could create a
project page for this initiative. That would really get it off the ground.

Now that Jimbo has indicated that he may be available for the given dates,
we must move ASAP to take concrete steps to show our seriousness.

Since the Mumbai-Pune community has the highest level of preparedness, I
think encouraging other cities to prepare bids for this conference, at this
stage, will be counterproductive. It would be prudent to implement the
structure proposed by the chapter from next year and support the Mumbai-Pune
communities to pull off a successful first Wiki-conference.
