I agree with you completely. While I've never been dragged to a Police
station, the Coimbatore Police made me delete ALL my photos on the camera,
and the Bangalore Police took away my memory card.
Do we need to send across a letter or something across to the Police?

Wow, this is amazing, great going Srikanth. I am still confused why you are
creating page in meta instead of en wp, but this effort is never dying!
Hope Bala joins you there to help you with this. All the best and please
let me know if I can support you in any way..

I think this is a great suggestion. I know that amateur and even
professional photographers (non-Press persons) face endless nuisance simply
due the lack of an official looking card.
Do we actually have an 'office'? If so, its address on the card would help.
Only thing is since probably the

This does not answer my original question though - what if someone gets into

The question whether the Chapter will help someone if they get into some
sort of trouble with the authorities is an important one and should be
addressed. Once a letter of authority is issued to a volunteer, the
chapter's reputation and credibility is on the line. Therefore, the

hi,
Also another thing to consider that all Wikimedians in India are not
Chapter members. Can anything initiated by the chapter be used to
provide 'services' to non-members?
Also, no matter how much a person or organisation prepares itself,
threats to Wikimedians come in various ways. I've heard
The chapter can officially decide it only after a discussion within Board ,
SIG leadership and the members.
But on a personal level, I agree with Anirudh's view on this.

Great suggestion Fae.
As Srikanth correctly pointed it out, such an ID would be under the content
scope, which neither the chapter or the WMF India operations have any
jurisdiction over.
I remember a couple of years ago, Wikinews tried this for their active

Good going Wasim, Ram and Pratik, you guy have done a great job again. The
best part is the instructor and attendee ratio seem to be good and they
might have got a full fledged support from you all while editing. Thanks
