Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] [Wikimedia-in-blr] Seminar on Copyright and Open licensing

2011-07-25 Thread Achal Prabhala 
This looks like it will be an *extremely* useful event. The speakers are 
great and the topics they will cover are spot on for the Wikimedia 
movement. Good move on the chapter's part for organising this.

[Wikimediaindia-l] What were the GLAM events in India this July?

2011-07-25 Thread Ashwin Baindur 
Hello friends,

The India  report for the July issue of the GLAM Newsletter is a red link at
the moment. Could editors please let me know what GLAM events took place in
their city or on their Wikipedia?

For example, we had the British V&A WikiLounge for Tipu's Tiger. Antything
else?

Warm regards,

Yes, but let this one be English content related rather than outreach, GLAM
or indic. Secondly we should not allow WP:5 Pillars to be overthrown. In
many cases. the discussions are completely jingoistic or "nationilistic" and
we dont want more and more of the same here.

Warm regards,

Even though the topic of this mail is not limited to enwiki, the above
statement is true.

But unlike other Indian language wikiproject wikipedians, English
wikipedians from India still doesn't have a common forum (apart from the
wiki project India page in en wiki which is not used by many users) to
discuss various topics related to them. I feel it is a good idea to start
another mailing list  exclusively for discussing topics related to en
wikipedians from India. It will help to bring togther all people from India
who are interested in en wiki projects.

Point such people to appropriate places like discussion pages , notice board
(oops, it cant handle more NOW,but yes ideally). IMO bringing content
disputes to mailing list, chapter is slightly Off Topic ish / doesnt serve
purpose, simply because they are not governing any content. Its totally
different thing if a Wikipedian asks for opinion / comes out of a media
post, even then list isnt the ideal place,it only calls for more trolling
since people arent obliged to stick to values which when broken can get a
block on wiki.[Refer "Socio Cultural relevance of Sanskrit Wikipedia blah
blah" some months back]. [[On a seperate note, we havent framed a block
policy for the list, but I presume day is not far when we may be in need of
it]]

The audience of the list is so spread over that it might be spammy even to
discuss a largely relevant issue like this, since its still just another
English Wikipedia POV dispute and thats it where as list is for "Discussion
of Wikimedia Projects in India".

Is there a catch all address where the group/organization/chapter
members can handle these kind of emails rather than forwarding them to
the list ? I don't specifically have anything against the usage of the
list archive to track these but having a single alias/address to
forward them to might be a helpful thing.

Dear sir,  you using India map on  is wrong and if you use the use
only real India map other vice please do't create miss think in mind. And
you using wrong Pakistan map .

Like  or any of state India contain wrong map of India(Some
of part of KASHMIR is missed here and also Arunachal Pradesh area missed
here by China side) Why..??

We give you only few days for correction other vice we take a action against
you.

जो क्षेत्र विवादित हैं अगर आप उनको भारत में नहीं दिखा रहे हैं तो उनको आप
पाकिस्तान या चीन में क्यों दिखा रहे हैं | और पूरी दुनिया में भारत का जो
मानचित्र आज है, वही आपको दिखाना चाहिए |

 अगर कोई पाकिस्तान सर्च करता है तो उसको पूरी तरह से इंडिया का कश्मीर वाला
हिस्सा पाकिस्तान के मानचित्र में मिला हुआ दिखाई देता है और जम्मू क्षेत्र का
भी हिस्सा हल्के हरे रंग का किया हुआ है, और जब भारत को सर्च करते हैं तो जम्मू
कश्मीर दोनों को दिखाया ही नहीं जाता ( मध्य प्रदेश सर्च कीजिये) |


Thanks and your services is really good and much more help full on study.
Thanks for give best support.
