I already took the liberty of registering personal support :) Count me in
too. We are planning a photo walk in Ahmedabad this January. I guess
India's participation will have to be coordinated city/state wise?

hi,
If the cities interested and languages interested express their interest,
we could go ahead at a national level through the chapter or as a
community. The choice is with the community. Hence the question.

It is a wiki :)

Along with this, just throwing up an idea. Since, the timeline is not yet
decided, can we simultaneously have a Wikimedia India page to document all
the Wiki loves monuments in India that happen in 2012?
2011/12/18 Pradeep
Yes, that. A wiki (if one does not exist already) for Wiki loves monuments
in India in 2012.

Prad, Noopur, I'm with you on this one. I think what we need to do is,
create a category on the Commons, customise the Upload Wizard if
needed, set up a committee to check for copyright violations, create a
page on Meta, translate it into every language, get your cameras,
phones ready, stock up on
Hey guys,
I'm kinda new to the Wiki community, so correct me if my suggestions are
out of the way. The Wiki loves monuments sounds really interesting...can we
spread the word via social media for us newbies?

Dear Mitra and others,
Welcome Mitra :) Here is a link to a start page:

Noopur, I strongly suggest that you create a page on Meta instead.

Noopur, sorry, I don't have a computer at all here. Hence the WikiBreak ...
Others, whoever creates the page, a something like Wiki Loves

Its a great idea to have a Wiki loves monuments. Support from SIGs was
mentioned. Speaking as a member of Indic Wikipedians on English Wikipedia,
you have our support.
