[Ilugc] The TamilWiki Media contest

2011-11-17 Thread Shrinivasan T
Tamil Wikipedia is conducting a Media Contest. Participate and upload
your photos, audio and video files, animations, graphs and maps
related to Tamil and Tamils.

The TamilWiki Media contest is being organised to increase the quality
media content related to Tamil and Tamilians in Wikimedia projects,
 To attract non-text contributors like photographers, graphic artists,
animators, map makers and videographers to Tamil wiki projects.

Not everyone can write articles can Wikipedia. Some may don't have
enough time to write articles while some may not like writing
articles. But taking photographs or videos might be easier and
preferable for them. They might also possess many multimedia files
they have created in the past. Moreover the procedure for uploading
files to Wikimedia has become simple now. So anyone can take part in
this contest easily and contribute to Tamil Wiki projects.

By uploading the files to Wikimedia Commons - a sister project of
Wikipedia, they can be be used not only in Tamil Wikipedia but also in
other language wikipedias and other Wikimedia projects like
Wiktionary, Wikibooks and Wikinews

Dates: November 15, 2011 - February 29, 2012
