Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Wikipedia Takes Kolkata 2
Hey, Fantastic job. Just take care about categorizing the images properly. To avoid confusion and complexities create one unique category like WP takes Kolkata. After photographing are you going to gather once again and upload the images at same time or individuals would later do it on their own? Also I guess Ahswin is there in Kolkata, please do get in touch with him and try to get the list of Images needed for Kolkata related articles. And one more thing, who all are going to participate? Wikimedia Contributors or newbies? If you need any help please do not hesitate to get in touch with me over this thread or off list. Thanks.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Wikipedia Takes Kolkata 2
Great news! Thanks Kalyan for sharing this with all of us! It would be good if Bangla newspapers publish this in their Today's event, this always brings a lot of enthusiasts who don't read about the announcements on mailing lists/wikipedia. All the best for this event! On 10-Feb-2013, at 3:15 PM, Srikanth Ramakrishnan wrote: All the very best Kalyan, do let me know if you need any assistance from the chapter.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Wikipedia Takes Kolkata 2
Arnav, In the first Wikipedia Takes Kolkata, we used the category Category:Wikipedia Takes Kolkatahttp://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_Takes_Kolkata. We are planning to use the same category. The participants of the event would be mix of of Commons contributors and newbies. A couple of semi-professional photographers might join as well. I don't have Ashwin's contact no. so I've included him in cc. After the photo walk, we'll upload the images from our homes at our convenience. This is because we would need to edit the images before uploading. Shubhashish, We'll try to get it published. However, from our past experience, we can only say that the Bengali language media in West Bengal is so much obsessed with political news that they don't even consider these events worthy of consideration. Thank you everybody for the support. Thanks and regards, Kalyan Sarkar On Sun, Feb 10, 2013 at 3:31 PM, Niraj Suryawanshi niraj.suryawan...@gmail.com wrote: Great initiative!

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Wikipedia Takes Kolkata 2
Dear Kalyan, All the very best. Please let know if we could chip in with any help. 'The Walls of Kolkata' are so rich and diverse, but are increasingly being painted on. Some of the graduate students at Media Lab, Jadavpur University had done Video documentation called 'Project Wall'. Probably we could involve them in this event. You can see more about the Media Lab work here http://www.medialabju.org/ . You may already have many contacts in JU, but if it helps, I can put you in touch with Dr. Moinak Biswas of Media Lab, who is also the Head of the Film Studies Dept, off the list. Pls. let know. Probably we could also explore the possibilities of using the Media Lab space for some of outreach programmes.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Wikipedia Takes Kolkata 2
Ashwin, We do not have a list of the buildings that we photographed in our maiden Wikipedia Takes Kolkata. The photos are categorized under Category:Wikipedia Takes Kolkatahttp://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_Takes_Kolkata. Please have a look. The page itself doesn't contain much information. However, if needed here it is - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Takes_Kolkata.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Wikipedia Takes Kolkata 2
Wow! This is nice.. Working in team for single spot will add new dimension. For Wikipedia Takes Pune, we had group of 4 people for one location - After introductory session, we provided them Google Map and Wikipedia Article copy of same - So along with photograph they also learn about aspects of that place. Example - Group going to ShaniwarWada Was briefed in advance about importance and unknown facts about that place - so photographer is clear about 'what' to capture. We requested to form group with stranges, so it was 'fun' part - everyone got to spend whole day with strangers who shared same photography passion... Result of this exercise - Within 5 hours, 5,000+ photos were uploaded on Commons.At end of day we had 6,500+ photos. This is great team building exercise, we received many amazing volunteers for club events. And majority work of Summit was executed by people who were participant at Takes Pune event, later on they became key persons in Club management. All the best for Wikipedia Takes Kolkata! Keep Organizing, Keep Inspiring! :-) Best Regards, Abhishek Suryawanshi, On Behalf of Wikipedia Club Pune On Sun, Feb 10, 2013 at 2:50 PM, Kalyan Sarkar kalyan.sar...@gmail.comwrote: All, We are happy to announce that we are going to organize Wikipedia Takes Kolkata 2 on 3rd March 2013.
