If anyone is willing to upload, then please do so. I'm afraid I can
only do it on Saturday morning. Saturday too, I have a heavy backlog
of Commons and Wiki sorting to do in the morning followed by some
personal work in the evening. So I'll be flat out. Do help out.
Cheers.

Hey Shrini,
That's so nice of you :) I am not sure if you can help us with this problem
but we need to locate the following on Commons:
1) uploads post 27th December on cat:Ahmedabad
2) A lot of new users have been uploading uncategorized images or tend to
screw up tagging, metadata etc.
Hi Noopur,
Lodewijk suggested that we use a maintenance category for proper
organization. Naveen has created a special category for this event. Can
you please update our fliers, if you already haven't done so?

3.7% in of all English views from India - remember, most major countries have
loads of English speakers so this is bound to be spread out. Indic is much
higher as India is the base for these languages.
The percentage statistics are a bit misleading, if you see actual figures in
terms of
in absolute terms it will be several times greater than all other indic

Hello friends,
Should you choose to upload, then I recommend :
- That you use the Flickr upload form of Wikimedia Commons (

- That the Commons file name you select for the uploaded file be
prefixed by

Bala, WDD, I didn't understand how. Do you mean to say that Indic
languages cater primarily to India related articles also, while
English caters to non Indian content too?
The figures might be misleading but they support my earlier theory
that wrt English, Indian students still prefer textbooks

Carry on Sir, you're doing a marvellous job. If you upload any
pictures of Hosur Road, Electronics City flyover, or so, do add Toll
Roads in India. Also post the image to the English article on Hosur
Road as currently all pictures on that article are my mediocry ...

As a very small part-time faculty in Pune University for M Sc Defence
Studies students, I can tell you that virtually any and every assgnment has
nothing worthwhile to find in the course textbooks but lots in Wikipedia.

Yuvi, I agree with you. Back in 2005, when I joined Wikipedia, I
remember a teacher failing a classmate for submitting a physics
project with Citation Needed written all over it. I was smart enough
to rewrite it. I meant, use of Wikipedia for reference in everyday
study. Like for example, I
Ashwin, I agree, but I was talking something similar to how Wiktionary
is used in Tamil. Engineering students use it a lot for everyday
studies. Bala and Surya can throw light on the matter. Anyway, it
proves that we have a long way to go in achieving Jimmy Wales' goal of
everybody having access

hi,
There are ancient Indian works in libraries and archives abroad. There are
also a few contemproary translations of this work into English in the same
libraries and archives. Are such works in the public domain? Are they on
any open knowledge platforms? Can the works not already here be

student [Manish], if the work was originally Indian, then it should be
in the Public Domain after 60 years provided copyright isn't renewed
irrespective of which Country it is present in. Translations, however
may be copyrighted.
Hoi,
If there is one thing that makes Museums, archives sit up and take notice,
it is when a project is proposed that adds value to their collection. Many
ancient works including documents exist in a GLAM without there being REAL
interest in them. Often because nobody knows the language and
Pradeep, if the documents are ancient, then as Gerard says, getting in
touch with the GLAM is the best way forward.

This is to inform you that Moksh and I have been invited to conduct a

hi,
The editing of Wikipedia by PR and social media agencies has been
controversial. It might raise eyebrows that you're going to inform
them how to edit Wikipedia. However, they will learn to edit even
without Wikipedian help. I think it is better to engage than to shy
away.
Also, suggest that
