Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Wiki Loves Monuments Winners from India
Hi Arjuna, the details of winners will be available in the detailed report. We are contacting them, and a couple of more winners are still to reply. Thank you for all your support so far :) On Tue, Nov 6, 2012 at 11:42 PM, Béria Lima berial...@gmail.com wrote: *It is not a pure virtual world event, in most countries, it had photo-walks, local cultural institute partnerships, sponsors, promotion, juries, and yes, prizes among other things.

We had like 8 in person meetings to get the list from IGESPAR (our ASI), we needed to travel several times to meet with sponsors (sometimes crossing the country), we needed to talk with promotion partners, prize partners and PR partners (all that also in person). We needed to set up a place for the jury meeting (and all the logistics involved). We had 2 Wiki Takes events and we needed to set up the prize reception. WLM is a wonderful thing to do, but definitely isn't a pure virtual event. _ *Béria Lima* *Imagine um mundo onde é dada a qualquer pessoa a possibilidade de ter livre acesso ao somatório de todo o conhecimento humano.

Hope the winners will take action to update their pages soon so that the community knows bit about them and their passion for Photography/monuments and their approach towards the contest and also few words about their winning entry. If they choose to mention those details, sure. They don't have to do anything, like the majority of winners from other countries. Thanks again guys, and Keep up the good work!

That achievement would be very proud-ful :) Agreed. Why don't you or someone in the new class of 2012 take up that initiative? Pick an area of interest - Bollywood, Indian music, Cricket, Food, Fashion, anything really, and create some project around it. Build a catalog of Indian movies, songs, find or upload old music in public domain, century old pictures of India (you won't believe how many are just lying around). There is a dearth of India related media and information on commons and Wikipedia. I'll help you set up everything else, help with things like pages on Meta, centralnotice, grant, promotion, I'll help in any way I can, and when I can't, I'll try and find you someone who can. Don't worry about the 'how' of it, just do what you like. This offer isn't limited to anyone, it's extended to anyone else reading this. Pick whatever interests you, and start something!
