Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] [TWL Con - 2019 India] Call for Applications

I have noted on the talk page that this "event" appears to have been set up without much discussion. I would indeed even question the design of an event that precludes librarians who are outside the Wikimedia movement simply by requiring that one has a Wikimedia user name. Maybe Krishna can help

[Wikimediaindia-l] National Archives of India

Dear fellow Wiki[p|m]edians/ independent researchers, This is just to bring to your attention that the National Archives of India have made a major advance with digitizing their contents and it presents an opportunity that will be quite exciting for those inclined to research. They are available

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Final draft of Conflict of Interest policy for Wikimedia India

Thanks for creating this document Yohann. It would be nice see the process and reasoning steps behind the creation of this document (or better still the document edit history and talk page!) . A couple of questions: 1) "The Covered Person shall not take any decision based on any political biases

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] New Readers Research India :: June 13 - 27

Hi Joe and team, FWIW - just wanted to share an observation made recently. I am active on the English wikipedia mainly but I recently went out to do a workshop that made use of the Hindi wikipedia and it was an eye-opener. Turned out that Wikimedia Commons is impossible to use if one does not

[Wikimediaindia-l] Draft Geospatial information regulation bill 2016

The draft of the bill has apparently already been taken off the Indian government website (and is not found on the wayback machine of the Internet Archive) but there are some news reports on it. http://www.deccanherald.com/content/544410/geospatial-info-sans-approval-may.html "No person shall

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] The PEG Draft for WCI2016 is now open! Please verify and endorse!

Dear Satdeep and others, May I suggest that the measures of success be slightly differently looked at. For an event of this scale media impact and government-policy altering opportunities are important. Getting tax-payer funded knowledge missions to understand free licensing and getting them to

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Wiki loves expensive expeditions (Was: Re: Chapter public communication requirements)

Hi Yohann, Thanks for the comments that you have made as spokesperson of the Wikimedia India Chapter. I was away from the Internet - trekking in the Eastern Ghats - and of course at my own cost. A number of images will go into Commons as I process them. That might perhaps help the proposers of

[Wikimediaindia-l] Chapter public communication requirements

I am not a member of the Wikimedia India Chapter although I am very much interested in seeing it function as a mature organization. I suppose that Wikimedia Chapters from around the world have evolved a set of best practices and have ensured that these are shared somewhere. These ideas will

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Asking for endorsement for “Wikipedia Treks Kalindi Khal”

Does this project plan to be inclusive? I would like to join the trek and I can think of numerous others who could add value to any such an expedition - you should include specialists - geologists, lichen experts, botanists and others, otherwise random images without interpretation would miss out

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Peer review and document improvement request

Mahitgar, sorry but I still do not get the context. As far as I know, the servers of the mr.wikipedia as well as commons are hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation out of USA and is entirely under US copyright jurisdiction; and all content on the servers *only *need to fulfill the requirements of US

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Peer review and document improvement request

Mahitgar, Seeing the comments on the talk page I think the confusion is due to the lack of context that seems to force the reader to think between the lines. For instance on my first read it looked like you were implicitly stating that the requirement of 'free cultural work' is not being met by

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Need Copyright status advice for Nationalized books in Tamil Nadu

Ravishankar asked me to comment on this and we had a short discussion offline and here are some notes that might be useful. I had a look at the general scheme and it seems to be more like a kind of nationalized publishing system - where (presumably limited) rights to print are bought from the

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Scanner machine

Tito, Just some comments from experience but not directly related to your request. I have scanned a fairly large number of documents (mostly thin brochures in which the staples could be removed) using a low-cost flatbed scanner. The one I use is in the Canon LIDE series - these use LEDs and work
