[Wikimediaindia-l] Report on the 16th Mumbai meetup!
Sorry for much delayed report. On Saurday, May 15th, 2012, Wikipedians and volunteers from Mumbai attended the 16th Wikipedia Mumbai Meetup. Attendants not only worthy of being the part of discussion, but also a part of a small party as our very own contributor Karthik Nadar <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Karthikndr> turned 19! We started introducing ourselves. A couple of new visitors joined the family. We continued with casual Wikipedia talks, including individual projects and project ideas. Altogether 10 people were present at the meetup. Contributors like Animesh Kulkarni <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Animeshkulkarni> and a newbie "Ojas Patole" attended the meetup for the first time and Rudolph Furtado<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Mittoo&action=edit&redlink=1> (a regular contributor at the Commons) for the second time, while we missed few regular attendees owing to their busy schedule. Going ahead with the Wiki project Mumbai, our focus this month would be "Chor Bazaar<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chor_Bazaar>". We'd be going to Chor Bazaar in a weeks time for information, pictures and stuffs like that. The new Wikipedians would be a part of this project with us. We even discussed the Nehru Planetarium project<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nehru_Planetarium>. This might take some time, but we plan to start as soon as the authorities grant us permissions. A couple of smaller projects are in the list too which are mostly on individual level (at most group of 2-3). Towards the end everybody shared their Wikipedia experiences. We departed around 7.30 p.m. Productive day for sure. Happy too. (With inputs from Krutikaa Jawanjal<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Krutikaa> ).

[Wikimediaindia-l] Mumbai meetup
Hi all, this is in reference to an upcoming meetup in Mumbai, which is yet to be announced. Applause's to Nikita Belavate, who wanted the forthcoming meetup to be much more productive one. She wanted to do an editing session, to motivate and explain other non-editing volunteers to edit Wikipedia articles. We have few volunteers who haven't yet involved themselves in editing ever, whereas we believe that the promary and best way of contributing to Wikipedia is by editing and helping the article grow both in quantity and quality. I'm sure its been much gap, since an editing session in Mumbai, and the plan sounded great. +n for it! :) However, we do always face venue problem, and yeah an editing session will involve a couple of internet connected computers. Will be great if anyone knows any place in Mumbai, where we can use their systems probably for *two hours* for the meetup. Just an attempt to enhance the Mumbai community in absence of some senior volunteers. *Do please let us know*! Thanks in advance! -- Thanks and regards, (User:Karthikndr <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Karthikndr>) *Karthik Nadar.* ___ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from the list / change mailing preferences visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l

Hi Noopur, can you forward us their details so that we can get in touch with them. We also have few other volunteers, who are trying their level best to find some better places with all facilities available. Hence, we would be considering all, and then select the best one. Thanks!

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] what is a Monument?
Hi Shrinivasan, according to a definition in Wikipedia, a Monument is a type of structure either explicitly created to commemorate a person or important event or which has become important to a social group as a part of their remembrance of historic times or cultural heritage, or simply as an example of historic architecture. Roads, nature, scenery, people, shops, people materials does not qualify for the contest, while heritage monuments like *Thiruvalluvar Statue, Gateway of India, India gate, etc **are the few examples of monuments. * Do ping me for any queries :) Thanks!

It will support Commonist, but there is one pre-loaded template to be added
at the description or below them : {{Wiki Loves Monuments 2012|in}}
if you can add this, do trying adding a photo via commonist, if you find
the image under this category:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Images_from_Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012_in_India,
go-ahead to upload all the photos using Commonist!

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] upload guide for photographers
Take the case of list in Chennai:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_India/Wiki_Loves_Monuments/Tamil_Nadu/Chennai
For Arsenal, the Identifier is N-TN-C1. Hence, while uploading, add {{ASI
Monument|N-TN-C1}} in the description.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Progress in WLM India
Hi Yann, thanks for pitching in :) Do watch the WLM India category here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Images_from_Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012_in_India. Randomly, I'm also having watch in the files and nominating files for deletion. If the file is not a monument, be bold to remove the WLM template below the license section so that it exists in Commons but will not be counted under Monuments. Thanks again!

[Wikimediaindia-l] Report on Mumbai Photowalk III
*Cross posting!* Hi, the Mumbai community had organised a photowalk to support Wiki Loves Monuments in India; organised by Wikimedia India Chapter. Scheduled on 22 September Saturday morning at 8 am, Dadar Nakshatra mall was the meeting point for all. However, the morning wasn't good at all because of heavy rains and hence had to go forward with 9 participants after waiting for an hour at the meeting point. We all went in a single group and firstly went to Mahim fort (which is no longer left), Bandra Fort, Sion Fort, August Kranti Maidan and Banganga Tank. If it wasn't heavy rains, things would have been different, though whether was is not in our hands. Less participants also made possible in better knowing of all and they were amazed with such plans and made sure to participate in further events. On behalf of Wiki Loves Monuments India team, I would like to thank *Nikita Belavate, Krutikka Jawanjal and Manan Shah*. Nikita had worked on with lists by preparing plans and also stayed in touch with participants post Photowalk and guided them on how to upload to Wikimedia Commons. Krutikka helped in inviting lots of friends, and stood till the end on-ground lending a strong support. She also stood connected with participants post-Photowalk. Missed Manan at the event, though he had poured in with lots of ideas for the Photowalk. *Thank you again all three, for helping make things possible. *Never to forget international organisers *Effiet Sanders *and *Tomasz Kozlowshi* for helping organising and yeah, Naveen deserves more than thanks :) * * Not to forget all participants who stood with us in the rainy climate and walked with us in all levels. Some of them have already uploaded images while some of them will be doing it soon. Thanks all! -- Thanks and regards, (User:Karthikndr <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Karthikndr>) *Karthik Nadar.* (Ph: 91-9773608862) ___ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from the list / change mailing preferences visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l

It will happen soon. - Principal of Vidyalankar Institute of Technology, was very excited to hold a Wikipedia workshop for her students, so that will happen in December end.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Wikimania tour of Rahul Desmukh
Dear WMIN EC/Rahul, I think the community is still waiting for an answer. My further points: 1. I appreciate Abhinav for defending the Chapter. Having been in the seat, I would personally incline to defend too, however it really has to make sense. 2. CIS has done it's role of helping WMIN as always. Perhaps request of support upto this scale should be available to public even before it is accepted. I think CIS should also have analysed that there were two members from WMIN EC were attending Wikimania. Would not like to deviate more. In complete sync with Asaf. WMIN is answerable to the community and to its members. No doubt here and it's been just too long, way too long. Dear WMIN, the only way to gain community confidence is to engage with them. Really surprised with activities like Wiki Loves Monuments which was always a Chapter supported activity is not supported by Chapter this year or correct me if I'm wrong.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Regarding Uploading 700 photos of a single temple to commons
Dear Shrini,
Greetings. I still remember your earlier contributions for WLM. They were
fantastic.
Great that you had enough time to click every statue and really I'm sync
with Subha for a barnstar.
Regarding uploading them for WLM, i see WLM more as a competition among
Wikimedians rather than seeing it as an only opportunity to upload
monumental photos.
You are always free to upload them anytime but I strongly agree with Kiran
having been jointly associated and still associated since 1st WLM in India.
700 images might burden jury. You'll know the pain only when you process
them. First round is tiring and irritating.
Jury is exciting only after round two where you get to see beautiful images.
Shrini, I leave it to you to decide. I would have preferred to upload only
those images which I feel is competitive, not only nationally but also
internationally. Rest all, I can upload anytime.
Thanks and hope this helps.
Regards,
Karthik Nadar

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Wikimania tour of Rahul Desmukh
Dear ECs of WMIN, I urge, if not Rahul who might be busy enough in presidential responsibilities, someone should come and respond to the queries members of the chapter and community members are expecting. Truly highlighted by Krishna, because President and et all EC members are community elected, queries from the later raised in nation-wide making list demands real attention. There have been a major delay and the community have respected exigencies one might come across, but there has to be a timeline for everything. Ignoring the question is just not the solution. Someone in the trail mail had well highlighted to apologise if there was a miscommunication with respect to the raised query, and frankly, community will accept it with true justification. I'm further adding WMIN-EC list in cc so that the entire trail reaches everyone assuming it is someone's responsibility to track such mails over mailing list and respond to the community.

[Wikimediaindia-l] India wins at globally in Wiki Loves Monuments
Dear all, It is immense pleasure for me and Naveen to announce that India has won officially at the photo-contest Wiki Loves Monuments internationally. Two of the photos from India among 3,60,000+ have made it to the top-10. 1. Tomb of Safdarjung<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tomb_of_Safdarjung,_New_Delhi.jpg> from Delhi has received from the highest ranking by the international jury, as the image *wins first prize globally*. The photo plays with the light and gives a wonderful contrast between the darkness of the room and the lighted tomb, giving it a dramatic effect. The photographer is Pranav Singh, from Delhi. *Safdarjung's Tomb, a garden tomb with a marble mausoleum in New Delhi, India. It was built in 1754 in the late Mughal Empire style, and was described as "the last flicker in the lamp of Mughal architecture".* *Comments from Jury: **The strong light contrast between the lighted tomb and the darkness of the room emphasizes the monument, and gives it a dramatic component. The tomb is sharp and detailed, and free of visual distractions; with gravity and a perfect sense for the angle of view and light this picture presents the object - the architecture and light forming a stage for the tomb, focusing on the details of the stone carving. All in all a nicely framed and executed picture that seems to speak of the significance of this tomb.* * * 2. The Taj Mahal<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Rear_side_of_Tajmahal.jpg> is no where lying behind. The winning photo from India *ranks 6th internationally*. The photographer is Narender Kumar, again from Delhi. *The Taj Mahal, is a mausoleum located in Agra, India, that was built under Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. It is one of the most famous Indian buildings and considered a symbol for love world wide.* *Comments from Jury: **The Taj Mahal is probably one of the most photographed monuments in the world - and definitely in this competition. This particular image gives an impressive view of the silhouette, showing also the adjoining buildings. The complex seems to wake up, out of the mist. It gives context and mystery at the same time showing just a bit more than on most pictures.* * * * * * * It's happy moment for the Indian community. Congratulations to all winners. Thanks to the entire Indian community and to the Wikimedia India Chapter for constant cooperation. * * * * - Official announcement: http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org/and-the-2012-winner-is/ - http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012_winners(2012 contest finalists) - Stats: More than 3,60,000 images was uploaded globally. 15,000 participants, most of them (2000+) were from India alone. -- Karthik Nadar.

[Wikimediaindia-l] Wikimedia India needs your support: Our First Fundraiser
*Dear all,* * * *On the second anniversary of the Chapter, we made public our intention of running our first fundraiser. Going ahead with the first phase of this plan, we will be running a central site notice on the chapter website for a period of two calendar months starting 1 February, 2013. In the second phase of this plan, we aim to approach high networth individuals and corporates in the month of March 2013. This will be done using personal and professional networks of current and past EC members, staff, volunteers among others.* * Suggestions, help and support from the community on what we can do to ensure success of this fundraiser are welcome. Every drop counts :) Donations can be made by Online Bank Transfer (NEFT/RTGS) or by sending us a Cheque through snail mail. We are unable to accept card payments at this current time. Link to the donation page on our website: http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Donate Thanking you, Executive Committee, Wikimedia India. *Reasoning* (From our public statement on 4 January, 2013) A lot of people may ask why the chapter needs a fundraiser when it has access to WMF funding. The answer is, we are still ineligible for FDC of WMF (we hope to be eligible for the second round of funding in 2013) and would need to rely on grants, spending of which is restricted by the WMF. Since formation, the chapter has relied heavily on the Executive Committee to take on the burden of running the show. In an ideal world, the EC would like to take on the role of guiding the chapter rather than actually be responsible for operations after two years of incorporation, which should be best done by professionals rather than volunteers in their spare time. The chapter has hired an employee (Sowmyan Tirumurti, our Executive Manager) as well as plans to lease its own office premises in Bangalore. We will need the help of those volunteers who are in a position to support us. It could be a small individual donation or in the form of a corporate donation from an institution. A small token of support from you could go a long way in helping us achieving our goals of furthering the movement in India.* * * * * -- Thanks and regards, Karthik Nadar, Secretary, Wikimedia India Chapter. ___ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from the list / change mailing preferences visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] [Wikimedia-in-chn] Wikimedia India needs your support: Our First Fundraiser
Hello Arun Ganesh, Thank you for your response. These are baby steps and without 80g exemption available, it is considered difficult to raise funds locally. Nevertheless, this is an attempt to test unknown waters and we hope for a positive outcome. With regards to the budget, it was shared at the last AGM. As for the plan for funds raised via the fundraiser, they will be used to pay staff and hire an office. Our FAQ will be updated to reflect this. As for the program plan, we have notified the list about an IRC, scheduled 11 Febrauary. We have planned an EC meeting in the 3rd week of February, during which we aim to finalise the plan for the upcoming financial year. Through the IRC we aim to include community ideas and suggestions.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] why to donate
Abhishek, I'm not sure where you are getting this information from. Please get your facts straight and stop speaking for the chapter. If you have a question, you can ask it in the form of a question instead of making unsubstantiated claims on a public mailing list, which is frankly unproductive since it requires us to spend time to send out clarifications. In case you are curious about the state of our finances, please refer to our annual report which is linked from the main page of our website ( wiki.wikimedia.in) in compliance with the requirements of the Wikimedia Foundation and Karnataka law.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] why to donate
Dear All, This is with reference to Sunils invitation to members of the Chapters EC to help train the A2K team in Bangalore. A few clarifications from us: 1. Our Secretary was in touch with Sunil before he sent the clarifications to the list. We felt since its a CIS invitation, its better Sunil clarifies the issue and not us. 2. Our relations with Sunil and CIS are much older than A2K and our relations are cordial. That the invitation came directly from Sunil was a very important factor in our decision making. 3. Srikanth did say we will disclose if and when we do ever receive CIS funding for anything. The training is yet to take place and hence nothing was disclosed. 4. The EC never requested or expected any payment of fees nor was it offered anything of that sort for this training (apart from reimbursement of costs). 5. We are holding our board meeting while we will be in Bangalore. The decision was taken for cost effectiveness and Sunil is aware of this. 6. EC was planning to hold a F2F meeting in the third week of February. We would like to restate that it is purely a coincidence that both the activities happened to be on the same dates and both of us mutually decided to take advantage of this fact. On behalf of Wikimedia India Chapter, Karthik Nadar.

[Wikimediaindia-l] Creative Commons Affiliation
Hello all, This is to inform everyone that Wikimedia India was offered affiliation by Creative Commons recently. The Chapter has considered this and has decided to accept and is now working on the formalities. It would be one of the three affiliates in India. Since Wikimedia websites use CC licensing, there are a lot of synergies among our organisations, though we would like to note that our main focus area is and will continue to be Wikimedia. Other chapters like Wikimedia Argentine and Wikimedia Indonesia are also CC affiliates. -- Thanks and regards, Karthik Nadar, Secretary, Wikimedia India Chapter. ___ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from the list / change mailing preferences visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l
