Behind this is a remarkable story of 1 user who created 300 articles organically in 20 hours. P.M.Puniyameen ( http://ta.wikipedia.org/wiki/user:P.M.Puniyameen ) from Srilanka is a retired academician, prolific writer and independent journalist. He started contributing to Tamil Wikipedia from November 2010. In the short span of 5 months he has added 2000+ articles. He set himself a target creating 200 articles on 20th April but ended up creating 300 articles in 20 hours. He was helped by his wife, daughter and two colleagues in typing the articles which were mainly info based articles on cricketers, small magazines. Earlier, he even created articles from his bed when he was in a medical rest. Thought of sharing this story as it is inspiring to see people working with so much dedication, mobilising people and resources for Wikipedia.

[Wikimediaindia-l] About photo upload in Commons
Hi All, Here I am again with few queries about uploading pictures in Commons. Problems: 1. There are many postage stamps available on eminent personalities which are to be there in Wikipedia, but as post 1951 postage stamps are not in PD there is no possible way to keep them in Commons, Any solutions for that? 2. There are many pictures available for eminent leaders, and many of them are photographed before 1951, but the source is not available and so is the date of issue. So, I was wondering if I can draw them by hand, scan and using tool make little correction so that they won't violate the copyright. Please suggest me if you have any better idea. I desperately want to see the profile of the prominent people with their pictures. And how about uploading pictures in Flikr? I have seen many pictures uploaded in Commons have the Flikr link, and they are marked as Copyrighted in Flikr (By the same author, I am confused, if it is in public domain or copyrighted) 3. If I have a newspaper cutting and I am not sure about the publication date how can I find a better way than fair usage? Can I sketch by hand seeing the published picture and upload in Commons instead of uploading in regional Wiki? 4. If an image is uploaded is wrongly marked as Copyrighted even if the site is not the actual source of a picture and the original picture is not available what the picture will be called? PD/Copyrighted? 5. If some pictures are available by a State Government portal like herehttp://www.orissa.gov.in/e-magazine/Orissareview/febmar2005/englishpdf/tportraitoascbp.pdf is that possible to add them commons? * ସୁଭପାSubhashishPanigrahi 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 https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l

Not possible as of now since the license of the site is not defined. The story is same with all Central/State government websites (except few government department sites of Kerala Government). For us to reuse images from a site, the license of the site should be PD or some copyleft license.

B The date doesn't matter if it is NOT Government property. It depends on the photographer. Whether she/he released it under PD, or not. -- Regards, Srikanth.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] The Marathi language Wikipedia has reached 33, 333 articles
Dear all , Thanks for compliments to Marathi Wikipedia . The reason for delay for response from Marathi Wikipedians is currently no body at mr-wiki is counting article count meter , people seem to be simply busy with routine edits, In fact Marathi Wikipedia anniversary falls on 1st of May and we are 8 years young now :), but still at this moment some how mr-wikipedians are silent about . After being with mr-wiki for about five years , am I pleased with where mr -wiki is today, no not at all; effective difference between say en wiki establishment and mr-wiki is just less than two and half year and the difference is too glaring. When the whole world is in a make believe situation that tomorrow's every human being is going to be English speaking , for indic wikipedians swimming against tide is not a easy game. The woodsare lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep. that is for now and best wishes and regards to all -Mahitgar From: wikimediaindia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org wikimediaindia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org To: wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Sent: Mon, 2 May, 2011 12:19:03 PM Subject: Wikimediaindia-l Digest, Vol 35, Issue 4 Send Wikimediaindia-l mailing list submissions to wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to wikimediaindia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org You can reach the person managing the list at wikimediaindia-l-ow...@lists.wikimedia.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than Re: Contents of Wikimediaindia-l digest...
