Excellent! This is indeed brilliant. I suggest you get in touch with the Chapter soon. The chapter is your one stop place for all Wikipedia related support. If you need any help on wiki, let me know. More than willing to help. -- Regards, Srikanth Ramakrishnan. Wikipedia Coimbatore Meetup on Febr

I have gotten in touch with the chapter. I am infact a chapter member myself (IN-135). I have also informed and asked the Kolkata community for help and support. Jayanta da has told me that he will bring the banner that we have in Kolkata. I am currently trying to make a basic info guide which I c

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Report on online outreach event

Hi, Can we have a place where we can request certain ttopics of outreach events on google+, orc etc? Eg. Sessions on doing DYK, tagging, wikifying or editing Wikipedia in Indic languages, etc? These don't get time at regular meetups and are of interest to small groups best served by above apps. M

hi, I hope some of the IRC-veterans can pitch in here. Not everyone is comfortable with IRC. I think these sessions will be more helpful for all involved if we had a statement put up on a wiki or on the mailing list by individuals who want to make these statements and then have a round of questio

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] [Wikimedia-I][Report] Wiki Workshop at BVCOE

Excellent work guys! I do have an odd question. Why do you always take food articles? Chole Bhature, Tunde Kabab, Pav Bhaji, et al? Also, was this English only? -- Regards, Srikanth Ramakrishnan. Wikipedia Coimbatore Meetup on February 12th. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meetup/Coimbatore Aliens

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Report on online outreach event

Good suggestion. I guess you could go ahead and create a page in your local wiki on this. That way, we can involve each community independently and still have such sessions. -- Regards, Srikanth Ramakrishnan. Wikipedia Coimbatore Meetup on February 12th. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meetup/Coim

Just to chime in with some observations (empirical, possibly OT) about means of communication. IRC is one of those elegant solutions that just aren't everyone's cup of tea, but sometimes because they haven't tried. Actually, it is the nearest thing to a physical meeting, with the same rules of cond

It's important that 6 newbies edited the article rather than which article was chosen, but Srikanth, you should come and taste the food here and understand why food articles are often chosen :-) On Fri, Mar 16, 2012 at 12:59 AM, Srikanth Ramakrishnan < parakara.gh...@gmail.com> wrote: > Excellent

hi, I agree, Vickram. The more we use it the more we'll learn. My intention of stating our discomfort with IRC was that the meeting on it becomes more complicated if many people are not used to the platform. It then becomes the question of both following a discussion and understanding and learning

hi, Re: WLM-In The status of the archives has not been discussed yet. In fact, we're yet to move on this at all. So, not much has happened in terms of discussion on this list. As of now, I see no point in keeping the archives private. In the future, it might be depending on how comfortable people

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Fwd: [Internal-l] Wiki Loves Monuments - will your country participate?

Not really but when Lodewijk offered to create this list, we had a couple of concerns like communicating with organizations and exploring possibilities of partnership (because WLM participants have done that in the past). So, I wasn't sure if these conversations should be public. However, now that
