Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] India WikiWomen's Edit-a-Thon
Report of the First India WikiWomen's Edit-a-Thon : The India WikiWomen Edit-a-Thon was held on 25th of March, 2012 from 11 30 to 14 00 IST. Eight people signed up for the event, but only four editors turned up for the event. The editors who participated in the Edit-a-thon were User: Nitika.t, User: Nicke.me, User: Karthikndr and myself. The Edit-a-Thon began with the IRC hangout at 11 30 am IST where the participants introduced each other and discussed about the necessary changes to be made on the [[Sarojini Naidu]] article. We started editing at 12. 1. We added about 20 references in the article. 2. we added sections and content under Naidu's early life, married life, career and famous poems. (8397 bytes of data) 3. We added pictures from Commons. It great that we were able to substantially improve the article by adding content, citations, inline references and images. The Edit-a-Thon continued till 14 00 IST. We had fun! :) Thanks to all participants for joining the event. On Sun, Mar 25, 2012 at 12:01 AM, nikita belavate niki8...@gmail.comwrote: That's great ! Would be fun working !! :) Cheers, Nikita.

Wondering why you're limiting yourself to one article? Why not do
multiple articles in small groups of 3 to 4 people? Also, why not do it

It might get slightly messy but will be more fun and might foster
some healthy competition between the groups as well :)

It's probably not possible for all of us to meet physically to celebrate
Women's Month but we all meet virtually - online!
During the two hour time slot we all will be editing an article
which will be pre-selected by way of nomination and votes. Depending on
the
number of members joining in we can also organise an IRC meet to meet
each
other before and during the event.
Everyone is welcome to come edit Wikipedia with us at this event.
Women, new editors, all those who relate to women's history or women's
issues, those who want to learn how to edit or can teach others how, and
anyone with an interest in women's history are particularly encouraged
to
attend.

Hi Netha,
Great initiative!
Wondering why you're limiting yourself to one article? Why not do
multiple articles in small groups of 3 to 4 people? Also, why not do it
across languages as well?
It might get slightly messy but will be more fun and might foster
some healthy competition between the groups as well :)

Hey All,
I am writing to invite each one of you to India WikiWomen's
Edit-a-Thonhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/India_WikiWomen%27s_Edit-a-Thonthat
has been scheduled for 25th March 2012, Sunday from 12:00pm to 2:00pm.
It's probably not possible for all of us to meet physically to
celebrate
Women's Month but we all meet virtually - online!
Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] India WikiWomen's Edit-a-Thon
Noopur, thanks for understanding and your kind note.
I would request you to discuss with other women editors during the
Wiki-Edit-a-thon and come up with a recommendation. I think it is best that
you decide for yourselves.
Warm regards,
Ashwin Baindur

Hey Ashwin!
I don't think anyone who is active on this list will misunderstand your
mail. :) We've had discussions before on how a lot of positions cause
confusion and I also want someone who can dedicate enough time and
attention to work on this project. So, no hard feelings on my part. I also
saw your Wikipatrika Meta suggestion (going OT here). Since I will be
taking that up, my hands are really full anyway.
Anyway, I'd want to be the backup in case you need any short term help. I
am grateful for your considerate explanation though :) In the meanwhile, we
have a list of women Wikipedians. Naveen can suggest a name or two that can
be approached?

did not mean to cast any aspersion on her and her good work and track

responsibilities and good work done in so many spheres - GLAM, Delhi
community and now in India Programs, that it would be an example of an
already dedicated person whereas I preferred someone new who was not
already committed.
I now see that I was wrong to name a specific person. The text can be
misconstrued as a negative by those who dont know Noopur or her qualities.
Also Noopur never aspired to the post. I'm sure if she had chooses to do
it, she would do it wonderfully well.
My deepest apologies to you, Noopur for causing you distress and
embarrassment.

The only QRs are :
* Lady editor.

User:Noopur28 would not be recommended due to her large involvements
already with GLAM IP).
Please reply on list if you meet the QR and would like to take up this

Maragret Bourke-White's image ex Life Archive is copyright free in India

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] India WikiWomen's Edit-a-Thon
On a related note, we are looking for a women volunteer coordinator for
Women and Gender Issues Task Force on WikiProject India.
The only QRs are :
* Lady editor.
* Enthusiastic and willing to take up the role.
* Not involved with other Wikipedia responsibilities. (For example,
User:Noopur28 would not be recommended due to her large involvements
already with GLAM IP).
Please reply on list if you meet the QR and would like to take up this
challenging appointment.
Warm regards,
Ashwin Baindur

As a miniscule gesture of support to you fabulous ladies, I looked for a
prominent Indian woman without an image, located an image and uploaded it
to Commons and the article.
I found the Nightingale of India, Sarojini Naidu, had no worthwhile image.
Maragret Bourke-White's image ex Life Archive is copyright free in India
and I have uploaded that under {{pd-India}} and it now graces the article.
I request all editors to do small things like this even if you are not
able to edit major articles or help in other ways.
I also request all editors of the Tag Assess drive 2011 to recheck their
assessments and add gender=yes for articles on women, children and
related issues.
Warm regards,
Ashwin Baindur

*Why shud girls have all the fun ? * :D
Just kidding ! Nice initiative ... All the best wishes!
On a related note, it is good to find reasons on why Wikipedia attract
very less woman editors ( much less in India than global benchmarks) and
how to solve this gender gap.
Thoughts ?

Thanks Pradeep.
We will be working on 1-4 articles depending upon the volunteer
turnout. I am thinking of conducting a similar Edit-a-thon in Malayalam
Wikipedia. If anybody else would like to conduct WikiWomen's Edit-a-Thon's
in other Indic languages, please let me know. Together, we shall celebrate
the Women's month!
In WikiLove,

Hi Netha,
Great initiative!
Wondering why you're limiting yourself to one article? Why not do
multiple articles in small groups of 3 to 4 people? Also, why not do it
across languages as well?
It might get slightly messy but will be more fun and might foster some
healthy competition between the groups as well :)

Hey All,
I am writing to invite each one of you to India WikiWomen's
Edit-a-Thonhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/India_WikiWomen%27s_Edit-a-Thonthat
has been scheduled for 25th March 2012, Sunday from 12:00pm to 2:00pm.
It's probably not possible for all of us to meet physically to celebrate
Women's Month but we all meet virtually - online!
During the two hour time slot we all will be editing an article which
will be pre-selected by way of nomination and votes. Depending on the
number of members joining in we can also organise an IRC meet to meet
each
other before and during the event.
Everyone is welcome to come edit Wikipedia with us at this event.
Women, new editors, all those who relate to women's history or women's
issues, those who want to learn how to edit or can teach others how, and
anyone with an interest in women's history are particularly encouraged to
attend.
