Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] [Wikipatrika]: Announcing the third issue of Wikipatrika!

2012-05-15 Thread Bishakha Datta
I've now read this from top to toe, or at least gone through everything I
had not read before - congratulations to all those who were involved. It's
brilliant!

I found it interesting, useful, timely - and the layout is easy to navigate
(specially the community news section, with each language community as a
separate tab). And of course, it's only when you see it all in the same
place that you realize the huge amount of work that is happening in India.

Cheers and may wikipatrika go from strength to strength!

 Dear all,

 I am very happy to tell you all that the third issue of Wikipatrika - the
 community newsletter is finally out! You can check it here:
 http://wiki.wikimedia.in/WikiPatrika/2012-05

 First things first, a humble acknowledgement to all the editors who helped
 out with this issue of the newsletter. A special thanks to Gitartha (as),
 Debanjan (bn), Karthik (en and mr), Pratik (en), DS Vyas and Sushant (gu),
 Siddhartha (hi), Omshivaprakash (kn), Anoop, Kannan, Sreejith, Viswaprabha
 and Shiju (ml), Abhishek (mr), Rajesh and Saroj (ne), Mkar and Srikant
 Kedia (or), Abhiram (sa), Logicwiki and Shanmugam (ta), Arjuna and
 Rahimanuddin (te). In other contributions, thanks to Srikanth R for
 Commons, Logic, Santhosh, Achal for Free culture news and Tinu for Press
 news.
 This entire venture could not have been possible without Tanvir's constant
 support with templates and tweaks. Forgive me if I have missed someone.

 So, what has changed from last time? Since all the Wikimeetups are listed
 on Wikipedia here and on the respective community pages, we've omitted the
 section on events and meetups. Instead, we've added a section on*Featured 
 Interviews
 * which has a GLAM interview this time and the *EPOV* column (Editor's
 point of view: INCOTM report).

 The idea is to make Wikipatrika a supplement to the mailing lists and
 village pumps and not replicate the same information in all places.
 Hopefully, by the next issue, with more featured interviews, insightful
 pieces from editors and free culture persons we will be able to achieve
 that.

 *The way forward: *

 It's a proud moment to see the amount of activity that all our language
 communities are involved in. We should definitely strive to make
 Wikipatrika regular and hopefully get more editors to contribute. This is
 one space where editors can express the dreams, visions and challenges that
 their Wikipedia community faces. If you have projects you want to publicize
 or successful projects that could be started in other communities, this is
 the space to express your opinion! From next time onward, we will
 coordinate Patrika on
 https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-in-newsletter *mailing
 list*. I welcome you all to join right away and we can discuss ideas for
 features, changing the format and more! :)

 Regards,
 Noopur

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Vodafone advertisement -- Internet is fun, Wikipedia

I agree with Mitra.
Though I think someone should get in touch with Vodafone IN and find out
more info.

 Hello,

 I just saw an ad mentioning Wikipedia on the Internet is fun series

 their youtube channel[1]. Are we missing any announcement or its just that
 Vodafone is using Wikipedia in their advertisements. Nonetheless, good
 branding on television :)

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Vodafone advertisement -- Internet is fun, Wikipedia

2012-05-15 Thread Debanjan Bandyopadhyay
Don't know about free, but their detailed
adhttp://www.vodafone.in/internetisfun/pages/home.aspx?cid=kol[1]
mentions two things beneficial to our cause...Seems all this much
outreach is finally working...

1. Access more than 21 million articles in 285 languages - Hope people now
realise Wikipedia is more than just English Wikipedia.
2. Create and edit your own articles. - Don't know how risky the statement
is but the fact that Wikipedia can be edited is now widespread. I just hope
people don't think Vodafone lets you edit Wikipedia and that otherwise
Wikipedia can't be edited.
