[Wikimediaindia-l] Wikipedia Women Workshop Report
A Day Spent well. The Wikipedia Women Workshop which took place on November, 4th 2012 in Vidyalankar Institute of Technology (VIT), Wadala was indeed a success. The people who volunteered in organizing this workshop were Bishakha Datta, Moksh Juneja, Karthik Nadar, Pranav Curumsey, Pradeep Mohandas, Anshuman Fotedar, Aditi Juneja, Harriet Vidyasagar, Nikita Belavate, Netra Parikh, Noopur Raval, Netha Hussain. All discussions and planning done while organizing this workshop for women paid off. In all, 70+ women participants attended the workshop. The workshop started with a short introduction after which, wasting no time, the women participants moved on to learning how to edit Wikipedia which was though by the present on ground volunteers. The participants were were divided in groups and every group had to create a new article which wasn't already available on Wikipedia. In the process, women interacted with the volunteers, asked question regarding Wikipedia. Every group at least had added introduction to the new article. Having done with the basic editing, a general presentation on Wikipedia was given by some of the volunteers. This was followed by question and answers regarding the same. By this time, it was already 1.30pm, so the lunch was announced. After having lunch, the participants got back to their seats. Pretty much everybody stayed back post lunch. Moksh continued with teaching how to edit Wikipedia. This time it wasn't it in groups though. References and Notability were the main topics that were covered in this session. Anshuman and Karthik then proceeded with teaching photo uploads on Wikipedia. Quiz was conducted towards the end and Wikipedia-Tshirts were given as prizes for giving right answers. Karthik, then also showcased the winning images of Wiki Loves Momunents 2012 India. The long day came to an end with an overwhelming response and a call for organizing many such activities. The feedback received was positive. The participants enjoyed the workshop. We are thankful to everybody who made this event a great one. Thanks to all the volunteers. Special thanks to Moksh and Karthik who went out of the way to get everything arranged before hand at the venue, to Netha and Noopur for making it to the workshop and for working hand in hand with the Mumbai Community, to Srikanth Ramakrishnan who constantly stayed in touch for online help. Special thanks to whole Vidyalankar team. Vishwas Deshpande, Founder of Vidyalankar, who gave us an opportunity to to do the Mumbai's first Wiki Workshop for Women at Vidyalankar. Milind Tadvalkar (Director) and Seema Shah (Principal), Jayprakash Kurmi and Vivek and the complete IT Team at VIT, Mahesh from Canteen for an awesome Pav Bhaji for Lunch.

This was a great initiative by such a young group of volunteers - Karthik, Naveen and everyone involved, a big Thank you and Congratulations, for getting this done.

I'm not sure which web site you are referring to above - commons? chapter wiki? Karthik's email mentions the link to each winning picture on commons, and if you look closely below each picture is a section for Author. I'm not sure how familiar you are with WLM. But if you look on the commons page for the winners[1], a large majority of them are redlinks with next to no information about real names and locations of photographers. I believe the competition has more to do with the pictures themselves than the photographers. Some of the winners created their account for the sole purpose of uploading the pics, some chose their names, some didn't. It is their right if they choose to not declare their real name and location. Putting this information on commons without their permission, can be tantamount to WP:OUTING[2] and against the Wikimedia privacy policy.

[Wikimediaindia-l] Wikipedia Meetup in Bharuch
hi, I have been living in Bharuch for the past one year. Since there have been no meetups in this region (the Surat-Vadodara belt) and having to travel to Mumbai to get to the closest meetup, I decided to WP:BEBOLD and do one meetup in Bharuch. I've created the meetup page here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Bharuch/Bharuch1 Please feel free to share this far and wide with folks around the Bharuch area. We're also planning to do a small editing workshop here once we complete the meetup. This is at a local public library that I am a member of.

Pick an area of interest - Bollywood, Indian music, Cricket, Food, Fashion, anything really, and create some project around it. Build a catalog of Indian movies, songs, find or upload old music in public domain, century old pictures of India (you won't believe how many are just lying around).

Why don't you or someone in the new class of 2012 take up that initiative? Pick an area of interest - Bollywood, Indian music, Cricket, Food, Fashion, anything really, and create some project around it.
