[Wikimediaindia-l] [OT: Research] Invitation to participate in an interview

[Jadine Lannon]

Hello,

My name is Jadine Lannon, and I am an undergraduate student at the 
University of Toronto in Scarborough. Some of you may recognize me as 
the intern who was supporting the Centre for Internet and Society (CIS) 
in the hiring of the Programme Director for the Access To Knowledge 
Programme. I have finished my internship with CIS and I am currently 
carrying out fieldwork for my undergraduate dissertation that will 
explore the gender gap in the Wikipedia editor community in India.


I am conducting interviews as part of a research study on the barriers 
and challenges that Indian women face to their participation in the 
editing of Wikipedia. If you are a female editor who currently resides 
in India, I would be very interested in interviewing you. Your knowledge 
and experience as a female Wikipedian will provide me with considerable 
insight into the challenges, obstacles and triumphs that women 
experience throughout their participation in the editing of Wikipedia 
and their interaction with other editors and the community.


The interview will take around 45 minutes to one hour, and will be very 
informal. Depending on your geographical distance from Bangalore, which 
is where I am currently based, the interview may take place in person or 
over Skype or a similar software. In any instance, I will do my best to 
make sure that you are as comfortable as possible during the interview 
process.


The data gathered from these interviews will be kept strictly 
confidential at all times. In the final report, all references to the 
interview responses will be made anonymously or, in cases where direct 
quotes are used, with the use of a pseudonym.


More information about this interview and the research project will be 
provided to you before the interview in an Informed Consent Form. I will 
also provide you with the list of questions/themes that I hope to 
discuss with you in the interview. If you would like to receive the 
Consent form and/or the list of questions and themes before you decide 
to participate in the interview, and/or if you have any questions, 
concerns or comments, please do not hesitate to get in contact with me 
at jayla...@gmail.com.



If you are interested in being interviewed for this project, please drop 
me an e-mail at the same address as above (jayla...@gmail.com).



Thank you very, very much for considering to give your time to 
contribute to this research.


-Jadine

[ansuman]

There was a proposal at meta to develop an easier process, where user could
upload images from/on Wikipedia, and the process/feature 'd store the
images in commons for you remotely. So you'd not have to visit commons and
you could link images in the articles easily.

Hopefully in few many years. :-)

Ansuman

We have to make this process easier as one click using any widget or
user script.

Can you check with any widget developer?

Thanks.

[Wikimediaindia-l] Is there any easy way to add photo link to wikipedia articles?

[Shrinivasan T]

When I upload photos to commons, I try to add the photos to relevant pages.

It seems a tough process.

1. copy the info of the image from commons.( using use this file )
2. open the relevant page in wikipedia
3. click the edit page.
4. paste the image info from the clip board.
5. save the page.

Every time, I have to do the same for all the images.

Is there any easy way or widget to automate this?

A gallery can be added by clicking a link in wikipedia page, with the
images link we paste.

Share your thoughts on this.

Thanks.
