Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] [WikiConference-India 2011] [Wikimedia-in-mum] Vote for the Conference Logo
The old logo is SPELLED INCORRECTLY. For those who do not read Devanagri or just see it as a symbolic design it may be beautiful. But it is WRONG. It reads chikri or vikri, not wiki.

I have worked with the designer to create revised versions for all our purposes, from banners to icons to conference shwag. I urge that we adopt these *across* all sites, conference as well as registration, and on all other banners. The registration page is still using the old logo (they should replace it with the banner image above) and the header icon on the conference page still has the old logo (should be replaced with the icon png above). I'm not sure who's in-charge of the registration site and the header, but am happy to work with them to provide graphics based on the revised logo.

hi, I think the decision is pretty clear with a lot more people going for the old logo. The decision is hence to stick with the current logo. Just for the sake of completion: 1. Stay with the old logo = 10 2. Change to new logo = 6 3. No clear indication given = 1 (Vishal - although we could include him in the change to new logo bloc as well as the old logo bloc) Let's call this discussion closed!

The new logo is simple but can understand easily. Because we are Wikipedians and we read hindi, marathi we feel it's OK...Logo says WIKI but the person who is not familiar to hindi, marathi wikipedia he reads it as Vikree or Chikree.

[Wikimediaindia-l] Wikipedia India Education Program Updates
Hey everyone, Just wanted to share few updates regarding Wikipedia India Education Program. 1. We conducted over 11 sessions in different classes to address the issue of copyright violations to make sure that students understand the gravity of this issue. We visited each class and spoke with the students that they simply cannot copy-paste on wikipedia and have also been warned about the consequences of doing so. One of the important learning from this is that going forward we need to include the issue of copyvio in in-class editing sessions. In the next semester, we shall take all precautionary steps and make sure that the students have been taught in detail about copyvios so that we face less problems like this going forward. 2. We conducted an open wikipedia day at the SSE where we were available on campus the whole day and students could reach out to us for any fundamental or technical wiki editing problems that they would have - more like a help desk throughout the day. Unfortunately, it didn't work as well as we had expected it to as not too many students came by with their problems. We'll have to think of more innovate ways of conducting such open days - any ideas/suggestions are more than welcome. 3. We now have a bigger and stronger army of Campus Ambassadors Online Ambassadors to support the students enrolled in the India Educational Program. 17 more Campus Ambassadors and 26 new Online Ambassadors are now onboard and will be helping students write better articles. I'll be sharing an update on this shortly. 4. The so famous Robinson Crusoe Economy Article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robinson_Crusoe_Economy written by one of the students User:Abhilasha369: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Abhilasha369 is now a 'Good Article' on Wikipedia. This is an achievement for the program!!! I believe that this is just the beginning and we'll hopefully see many more GAs and FAs emerging out of the program. 5. You can check out some of the other well written articles by the students: Lindahl Tax: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindahl_tax written by student user:Devanshi tripathi: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Devanshi_tripathi Buddhist economics: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhist_Economy written by student user:Prarthana rao: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Prarthana_rao Income-consumption curve: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income-consumption_curve written by student user:Vandhana297: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Vandhana297 Economics of Lord Mahavira: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economics_of_Lord_Mahavira written by student user: Uditichopra: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Uditichopra Animation Studio: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animation_studio by student user: jinchurikidan:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jinchurikidan You can track the progress of the program via the India Education Program Page (WP:INDIAEDU) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:INDIAEDU.

[Wikimediaindia-l] Welcoming 2nd Generation Pune Campus Ambassadors
Hi everyone, To support over 1000 students enrolled in the India Education program we now welcome 17 more Campus Ambassadors onboard..!! Just to give you a backdrop, we'd opened the CA applications for over 2 weeks. The applicants had to submit their purpose of statement to become a CA followed by a round of interview. Out the huge lot of applications we received, we selected 17 bright enthusiastic Campus Ambassadors. We also organized a two day CA training for them where we concentrated on various aspects like how to tackle various questions by the students, how to help students write better articles, how to conduct in-class sessions, how to coordinate with the professors, how to tackle copyvio issues etc etc. The training was very well received and was a lot of fun! We had 100% attendance and all the 17 new CAs participated very actively. Im sure they are and will continue to support the students with equal amount of enthusiasm. Im sharing their usernames with you all, just incase you'd like to congratulate them, talk to them about the program or just to say a quick Hi! :) user:roshnisaigal user:Vedantgupta7890 user:Devanshi tripathi user:Debastein1 user:RDebashruti user:Mihir Kelkar user:Pratiklahoti8004 user:minakshinajardhane user:Anurag acj user:Vaibhavchandak user:Gunit31 user:Ishu.aghav user:kumarvikramsingh user:Shefalinaik user:Tb0412 user:nikita.agarwal user:arjunmangol Thank you!

[Wikimediaindia-l] or.wiktionary.org
Hoi, I am really pleased to inform you that the Oriya Wiktionary is the first project ever to be officially re-enabled for editing. The Oriya community is working really hard to make their projects a success. They are noticing that the usability is improving as a consequence of the obligatory localisation that they have to do. Once they are done, the language committee will assess if a Wikiquote can be created as well. The exception that was made to open up the Oriya Wiktionary was given because there is a Wikimeet in the near future and we do want to give their community more of a reason to be happy with their hard work.

Thanks a lot Gerard, Santhosh and team, my heartfelt thanks to all the language committee members for your kind support and I promise the Odia Community will keep up the effort to improve the two projects and finish the rest translations and get started with the other projects. Thanks again. rgds Subha On 28 September 2011 06:26, Gerard Meijssen gerard.meijs...@gmail.comwrote: Hoi, I am really pleased to inform you that the Oriya Wiktionary is the first project ever to be officially re-enabled for editing.
