Hi Nick,

I am a Wikipedia editor from India. As one of the initiatives of Indian
Wikipedians, titled "India loves Wikipedia Commons", we intend to upload
large numbers of images of own work on India as also those images on India
freely licensed on the web in places like Flickr (such as yours).

we wanted to confirm whether the copyright of images in collection "India"
in 1978/79 in black & white are all yours. We are keen to use of these
images and need to be absolutely sure that they are very own images.

I would be grateful if you can drop me a line in this regard,

Ashwin

Okay, good point, Beria. All of us need to keep track of this very carefully
and just not uploaded anything suspect. Perhaps we need to review the
submissions ajready made as well.

Just one question:

Anyone is checking for license fraud? We have a LONG history of users who
upload copyrighted pictures in Flickr under "free licenses" to be send to
Commons.

 We need people to upload images to Wikimedia Commons.

- We face a problem in that photographers are willing to go out
& shoot and donate images. But they are unfamiliar with Commons and 
 do not
upload it there. However, we find that they know Flickr and are 
 willing to
upload it under a suitable Creative Commons license.
- There are hundreds of free images on the net, we can show you
how to locate them. These can be uploaded to Commons. We are at 
 this point
of time interested in images pertaining to India only.

 It is a job requiring patience, care for details and intelligence as
 the images need to be categorised also. Where relevant we would like 
 to add
 them to articles too.

 We need a small TEAM of three to five - people, age, sex, religion,
 etc, etc, no bar, except that they should have:
 * Knowledge of uploading images to Commons
 * know how to categorise
 * know how to load images into Wikipedia
 * Possess good judgement.
 * Possess an abiding love for Wikipedia and willing to contribute to
 it.

 If you are interested, let us know. This is a serious commitment
 under the "India Loves Wikipedia" initiative. Dont apply if just for 
 "time
 paas".

 Helpers will be awarded barnstars at a suitable date after the
 project is done.

 Warm regards,

 Ashwin Baindur

oh, forgot to add. This is only if the flickr user is not the original
photographer. Thats not quite evident here. May be we should ask the flickr
user about this first.

Photos taken in 1978 is not in public domain yet. So these pictures cannot
be uploaded to commons unless we get explicit permission from the
photographer.

Hi,

I just hit across a treasure of ~200 black and white pictures[1] (in CC) of
India in 1978/79. Looks like someone had pictures of a traveller and
uploaded into flickr set. Downside being not all pictures have description,
so we dont know where they fit in. But am sure collectively we can guess
them, so request all interested to leave a comment on each photo, if you
know what it could be about / where it is.

The other thing being, does anyone have flickrripper bot access on the list
and can help? I intend to hunt more like these and get more sets which can
be bulk uploaded.

 We need people to upload images to Wikimedia Commons.

- We face a problem in that photographers are willing to go out &
shoot and donate images. But they are unfamiliar with Commons and do not
upload it there. However, we find that they know Flickr and are willing 
 to
upload it under a suitable Creative Commons license.
- There are hundreds of free images on the net, we can show you how
to locate them. These can be uploaded to Commons. We are at this point 
 of
time interested in images pertaining to India only.

 It is a job requiring patience, care for details and intelligence as the
 images need to be categorised also. Where relevant we would like to add 
 them
 to articles too.

 We need a small TEAM of three to five - people, age, sex, religion, etc,
 etc, no bar, except that they should have:
 * Knowledge of uploading images to Commons
 * know how to categorise
 * know how to load images into Wikipedia
 * Possess good judgement.
 * Possess an abiding love for Wikipedia and willing to contribute to it.


 If you are interested, let us know. This is a serious commitment under
 the "India Loves Wikipedia" initiative. Dont apply if just for "time paas".

 Helpers will be awarded barnstars at a suitable date after the project
 is done.

 Warm regards,

 Ashwin Baindur

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Online Volunteers needed for "India Loves Wikipedia" - Outreach

[Sreejith K.]

I can be a volunteer.

I am an active Commons user with over 20,000 edits and is a license-reviewer
in commons.

Thanks,
Sreejith K.

 We need people to upload images to Wikimedia Commons.

- We face a problem in that photographers are willing to go out &
shoot and donate images. But they are unfamiliar with Commons and do not
upload it there. However, we find that they know Flickr and are willing 
 to
upload it under a suitable Creative Commons license.
- There are hundreds of free images on the net, we can show you how
to locate them. These can be uploaded to Commons. We are at this point 
 of
time interested in images pertaining to India only.

 It is a job requiring patience, care for details and intelligence as the
 images need to be categorised also. Where relevant we would like to add 
 them
 to articles too.

 We need a small TEAM of three to five - people, age, sex, religion, etc,
 etc, no bar, except that they should have:
 * Knowledge of uploading images to Commons
 * know how to categorise
 * know how to load images into Wikipedia
 * Possess good judgement.
 * Possess an abiding love for Wikipedia and willing to contribute to it.


 If you are interested, let us know. This is a serious commitment under
 the "India Loves Wikipedia" initiative. Dont apply if just for "time paas".

 Helpers will be awarded barnstars at a suitable date after the project
 is done.

 Warm regards,

 Ashwin Baindur

Hi,

I am already doing this for "India loves wikimedia" using Bryan's "Flickr to
Commons" tool (http://toolserver.org/~bryan/flickr/upload) - It is one of
the easy ways to transfer flickr images to commons using the flickr upload
bot. I have identified a few photo streams which are CC BY SA compatible and
uploading them (after checking they are not already in commons).

If you come across any photostreams that have been uploaded to flickr as
part of "India loves wikimedia", please let me know and i will start the
uploading.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Online Volunteers needed for "India Loves Wikipedia" - Outreach

[wheredevelsdare]

There is a bot on commons that scans flickr for copyright free images and 
uploads them to commons - so those are already there in probability.

What I suggest is making a list of missing images (eg. there is a category of 
requested images in Mumbai, Im sure there must be other such categories related 
to other places in India) then find them on places like flickr (a lot will 
already be there) and request the uploader to change the license to allow use 
on Wikipedia. Some will agree (personally tried and tested, I know a few other 
users use this technique as well).

Subject: [Wikimediaindia-l] Online Volunteers needed for "India Loves   
Wikipedia" - Outreach

This is relevant to all those who have written to the various lists and asked 
how one can participate. volunteer or help in any way. 

We need people to upload images to Wikimedia Commons. 
We face a problem in that photographers are willing to go out & shoot and 
donate images. But they are unfamiliar with Commons and do not upload it there. 
However, we find that they know Flickr and are willing to upload it under a 
suitable Creative Commons license.
There are hundreds of free images on the net, we can show you how to locate 
them. These can be uploaded to Commons. We are at this point of time interested 
in images pertaining to India only.
It is a job requiring patience, care for details and intelligence as the images 
need to be categorised also. Where relevant we would like to add them to 
articles too.  


We need a small TEAM of three to five - people, age, sex, religion, etc, etc, 
no bar, except that they should have:
* Knowledge of uploading images to Commons
* know how to categorise
* know how to load images into Wikipedia

* Possess good judgement.
* Possess an abiding love for Wikipedia and willing to contribute to it. 

If you are interested, let us know. This is a serious commitment under the 
"India Loves Wikipedia" initiative. Dont apply if just for "time paas".


Helpers will be awarded barnstars at a suitable date after the project is done.
Warm regards,

Ashwin Baindur

Hi Ashutosh,

Please confirm that you have the skills to upload images to Commons. Please
upload one Creative Commons Attribution required image from Flickr and
categorise it and send me the commons page link.

Warm regards,

Respected Sir/Madam,

Greetings from Wikimedia India Chapter. We are pleased to let you know we
can arrange a talk/lecture on Wikipedia at your college if you could arrange
a lab for 3 hours with some students. Below is the sample call for program
and we can structure the agenda based on the below one. We could also
include specific areas within Wikipedia in the agenda which your students
might be interested in.(Ex:- Wikipedia as media resource for journalism
students / Technical talk on Wikipedia for Computer Science students) We
could send a local Wikipedian to talk about Wikipedia and how students can
benefit out of it by knowing more than just a site to get assignment notes.
Please let us know if you are interested.we are interested please tell us
what to do
