[Wikimedia-l] Announcing Wikiclubs pilot in India

[Kaśyap కశ్యప్]

Hello Everyone,

I’m pleased to announce Wikiclubs pilots in India.
The WikiClubs pilot aims to enable the creation of WikiClubs at educational
institutions in India. The pilot project is a joint effort between IIIT
Hydrabad and Wikimedia foundation and will be led by IIIT Hyderabad and
supported by the Foundation.  In the program, the participants will be
expected to start WikiClubs at their respective institutions, to contribute
to the growth and diversification of culture and heritage sources on
Wikisource and Wikimedia Commons in India, especially targeted around
Andhra Pradesh and Telangana states of India, for more details visit

[Wikimedia-l] Re: Is GoogleTV violating Wikipedia's license?

[Nicholas Perry]

Hi Xavier,

The Google team previously followed up with me to say they believe
attribution should now be working in all languages on Google TV including
Catalan, and they provided some images of the attribution.

If you are still seeing this issue would you mind sharing the names of the
pages you're looking at so I can give specific examples to their team
to look into? If you have any screenshots or photos of the pages that are
missing attribution that would be helpful as well.

Thank you,

Nicholas
