It does help to be careful when responding to media. Also asking them to
validate quotes also helps, especially story titles.

Many of them do extend the courtesy of verifying quotes and facts, when
specifically requested.

While PR for spreading the word about Wikipedia and its objectives surely
helps, it helps even more when the right message gets across.

[Arun Ramarathnam]

Pradeep,

Determining the first Indian Wikipedian is quite a tricky exercise. Not
aware of any easy way to do that. Guess it would be one of the admins who
setup a wikipedia in an Indian Language. Or it could be someone who actively
contributed to Indian content on the English Wikipedia (this is most likely
the case).

No easy answers really. Please let the list know if you find the answers you
are looking for.

Any of the early contributors have any pointers here?

regards
Arun

[Wikimediaindia-l] Wikimeetup 3 Pune photos

[Ashwin Baindur]

Thanks Tinu, Sankarshan, for images of Pune Meetup 3.

For those who attended, could we have a small brief (or even better a
blog post) about what transpired for those who missed the meet?

As of now, this is a problem. Meets dont get reported. People forget
that the written report of what transpired is absolutely necessary for
the community. A few uncaptioned photos or newspaper clippings are of
no use.

This is contrary to the Wikipedia spirit of free flow of information.
Inadequate reporting of a Wikipedia meetup is a contradiction of
sorts.

Warm regards,

Ashwin Baindur

[Wikimediaindia-l] hi ! list

[shirish शिरीष]

Hi all,
 Wow! It was a hell of a day seeing and meeting people at Redhat's
office for wikipedia stuff.

Quite a bit to share but need couple of things. Fortunately or
unfortunately didn't have a camera so need photos to spice the post
up, a hashtag if there is already one or something please lemme know.

Whenever there are photos in the public domain of today's meet, one
can expect a post in few hours (barring sleep hours, of course) .
Unfortunately, unlike wikimedia not awake round-the-clock (citation :-
http://www.mid-day.com/news/2010/dec/131210-Erik-Moller-Wikipedia-Pune.htm)
 :)

I may also do couple of follow-ups as there were lots of things
swirling in my head but there were neither the time or the space to do
it.

Frankly, came to know for the first time there are other Idiots (pun
on 3 Idiots please) like me who enjoy making a difference.

So wiki on :)

Thanks, but still unfortunately I cannot blame one Kiruba for self 
promotion using Wikimedia foundation just because none of the WMIN 
signatories' activities are clear to others (or atleast to me, may be my 
wrong). You may know that there is a website for Wikimedia India chapter 
(http://wikimedia.in/), so if possible, copy those pages to there (most 
of the Indian wikimedians are not active in meta). Please add brief 
notes about purpose, current activities (I saw some researchers, 
consultants, etc) and future blueprints also in the website.

hi,

Thanks for the write-up. Why are these meetings happening in classrooms? The
Mumbai one also happened in a lecture hall complete with green board and
chalks! There was even a rickety unbalanced table up front that the speakers
unconsciously wanted to lean against!

I see that Pune has at least advanced to white boards and pens in the class
room selected. :)

warm regards,
Pradeep

If someone from SICSR is on the list they may be able to put a much
definitive answer.

My guess is that arranging for the auditorium or, even an informal
gathering place at a reasonably quick notice is difficult to do. There
aren't many places at Pune where you can get together, sit around and
then break off into smaller circles of discussion. Especially at that
hour of the day.

That said, the "classroom" did encourage the students (the newbie
contributors) to speak up in familiar surroundings. So, it actually
worked out fairly well although Erik and Danese ended up doing a bit
of back and forth on moderating and queue-ing up the questions.

Here's the non-techy view report on the Wikipedia Mumbai meetup on December
11 - http://www.parallelspirals.in/2010/12/wikipedia-mumbai-meetup-5/

Pictures - http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Mumbai_Meetup_Dec2010

I do hope that the other camera-persons in the group also share via
Wikimedia Commons.This was my first experience of uploading stuff on
Commons. Tinu Cherian did that for me the last time. I did want to try it
for myself this time. Learnt a bit more with each photo I uploaded and liked
it.

[Wikimediaindia-l] Bangalore Meetup on Saturday- leaving at 2:30

[Erik Moeller]

Hi folks,

Unfortunately my flight out of Bangalore leaves at 520 on Saturday, so I am
planning to leave the city around 230. The meetup on Saturday is currently
scheduled for 3PM. I'd hate to miss all of it, so I hope some folks can make
it early. I will plan to be there at 130 or so.

This only affects me. Danese and Alolita will leave the next day.

Hope to see you there,
Erik

[Wikimediaindia-l] Wikipedia usage and contribution from Indian users

[B.G. Mahesh]

Dear All,

I need to write about Wikipedia in India. Need to know about access and 
content creation with an Indian angle. Are Indian surfers using Wiki a 
lot? Any statistics would help (growth over past few years)

Similarly do Indians create/contribute content? What is your take on 
Indian languages?

Feel free to include any other topic related to Wiki-India.

Your input will be of great help for the chapter I am writing in a book.

Please feel free to directly write to me.

regards,

Some places to start would be:

http://stats.wikimedia.org/ and http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/Sitemap.htm

The India Community Newsletter is also a great resource:

As is this:
