Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Wiki Academy in Goa in Dec

[Frederick FN Noronha * फ्रेड्रिक नोरोन्या * فريدريك نورونيا]

Let me know if I could be of any help, as I'm based in Goa itself.

The announcement for the event has already been uploaded by the Univ
library staff and Dr Gopakumar to http://unigoa.ac.in/ (which is where I
saw it).

Have also shared it with Goanet, an 18-year-old volunteer network active in
Goa and its diaspora:
http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2012-November/227034.html
http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-news-goanet.org/2012-November/005229.html

Sorry about the typo in the subjectline!

And also on the Goa Book Club
http://groups.google.com/group/goa-book-club
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/goa-book-club/WhSEmdGaqKc

I used to be active as Fredericknoronha earlier. Also, I have a large
collection of photographs on Goa, which I've already shared under a
Creative Commons 3.0 license and would be happy to share with Wikipedia if
needed [http://www.flickr.com/photos/fn-goa/]

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Wiki Academy in Goa in Dec

[Frederick FN Noronha * फ्रेड्रिक नोरोन्या * فريدريك نورونيا]

Dear Nitika, Is it possible to get in touch with others who have been
contributing to the Goa pages in the past? Also, some of us have bandwidth
problems here, otherwise we would have contributed more. Is it possible to
set up a small team to continue this process, in Goa itself, after the
workshop is done?

The Central Library has a lot of space and tend to be supportive in such
work. Its Curator, Carlos Fernandes, was even supportive when Richard
Stallman of the FSF visited many years ago. They understand the importance
of creating sharable resources. At the library, you can spot some displays
of open journal websites, etc which researchers can freely access. You
could build on such synergies. FN

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] [Wikimedia-in-mum] Fw: [Wikimedia-l] Reappointment of Bishakha Datta as WMF Trustee

[Frederick FN Noronha * फ्रेड्रिक नोरोन्या * فريدريك نورونيا]

Bishkha, Congrats! And please do something to push for flexible rules that
take care of non-Western situations while crafting a global online
encyclopedia.

I feel that societies which don't have such a long tradition with the
printed word (or are mostly oral societies) have a distinct disadvantage
while trying to match up to global Wikipedia requirements (for
'notability', referencing, etc). This gets doubly bad when someone needs to
reference non-English texts, which might not be visible in cyberspace
itself.

Do make a case for the need of separate standards when writing about
Asian-African-LatinAm societies in the Wikipedia. This will go a long way
in creating a level playing field. FN

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Getting a new language Wikipedia going...

[Frederick FN Noronha * फ्रेड्रिक नोरोन्या * فريدريك نورونيا]

Dear Tejaswini Niranjan,

My apologies for the delay in responding, was offline for much of the day.

Depending on whom you ask, you could get different replies about the script
Konkani uses. My understanding is as follows:

Devanagari-script Konkani = Official script in Goa. Prizes are mostly given
for books in this script. Konkani studies at the university (BA and MA
level, also a few PhDs) are done in this script. One daily newspaper run in
this script in Goa.

Roman-script Konkani = widely used in Goa due to historic reasons (the
first printing press in Asia was set up here in 1556) from the mid-16th to
at least the mid-20th century. Lots of writing in this script. Still used.

Kannada-script Konkani = widely used in Karnataka (also among
Karnataka-expats in places like Mumbai). Numerous magazines and newspapers
run in this script.

Malayalam-script Konkani = has been used by Konkani speakers in Kerala. Not
sure how active now ... as some in Kerala have expressed an interest to
shifting over to Devanagari.

Perso-Arabic script Konkani = used by some (smaller) communities along the
Karnataka coast. Not sure how widely used currently.

Kindly note that there is also some degree of dialectical variations among
the different scripts. So, in my view, automatic machine conversion from
one script to another could result in incomprehensible text. But a machine
conversion aided by a human knowing more than one script could work.

[Wikimediaindia-l] Sept 26, Re-releasing the Konkani Vishwakosh (encyclopedia) and building the Konkani Wikipedia.

[Frederick FN Noronha फ्रेड्रिक नोरोन्या *فريدريك نورونيا]

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Re-release_of_Konkani_Vishwakosh_under_Creative_Commons_License_CC-BY-SA_3.0_-_Invite.pdf

Re-releasing the Konkani Vishwakosh (encyclopedia) and building the Konkani
Wikipedia.

On Sept 26, 2013, Thursday, at 10 am. Conference Hall, Goa University,
Taleigao

An initiative by the Goa University in collaboration with The Centre for
Internet and Society Access to Knowledge.

Please consider this as a personal invitation. Come join hands in the
campaign to promote free accesst o knowledge in one’s mother tongue –
Konkani.

This is an initiative taken by the Goa University towards sharing and
preserving knowledge in the Konkani language. Goa University has generously
approved the re-release of the Konkani Vishwakosh (encyclopedia) under the
Creative Comons License (CC-BY-SA-3.0) to make it freely available to the
public and thus preserve the Konkani language and culture in the digital
era. This encyclopedia will also serve as the main source of building and
writing articles on the Konkani Wikipedia.

This is a major step towards showcasing the Konkani community and language
on a global platform such as the Konkani Wikipedia.

NOTE FROM FN: The above is an invite which Nitika Tandon requested to
share. In view of the concerns that other scripts (Roman, Kannada among
others) should not be excluded from this project, I have suggested that
copyright-expired dictionaries in those scripts, for a start, could
likewise be digitized, shared and updated as some parallel project. Please
send in your views and comments on this issue to Nitika Tandon <
nit...@cis-india.org>,  Sunil Abraham ,  Hariett
Vidyasagar  outofin...@gmail.com  and vis...@cis-india.org

   Murali Kumar and Paul Noronha

Wants others to contribute too

With the Centre and successive State governments in Maharashtra dumping his
crucial report on the conservation of Western Ghats, ecologist Madhav
Gadgil has now turned to Wikipedia to record his findings and present his
solutions.

Prof Gadgil was feted with the prestigious 2015 Tyler Prize for
Environmental Achievement in March for penning the landmark report on the
preservation of the unique ecosystem of the Western Ghats and the inclusion
of local committees. The Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) had
announced that it was ‘not processing’ the Western Ghats Ecology Expert
Panel (WGEEP) report for any further action.

Some of the content of Prof Gadgil’s comprehensive Wikipedia ‘exposition’
on the Western Ghats will be crowd-sourced, where people are free to
contribute and add to articles already uploaded.

The ecologist has chosen Wikipedia owing to the lack of advertisements on
the site and most importantly, out of government control, which will allow
him considerable latitude in revealing his researches on the actual state
of affairs.

“This is real democratisation of data wherein we shall be dealing with
issues like illegal sand and stone mining, deforestation, while putting up
photos. Moreover, we will be uploadi

[Wikimediaindia-l] Wanted: volunteers to complete profile of Goa writers

[Frederick FN Noronha फ्रेड्रिक नोरोन्या *فريدريك نورونيا]

[Sent out this note to some Goa mailing lists. Thinking of an edit-a-thon
here. Can someone help me to get permission for the mass creation of 10-20
accounts and the use of the same from a single IP address? This could
happen in the next 2-3 weeks. --FN]

Dear all:

Pls see the following writer-related Wikipedia profiles that require some
working to be completed or undertaken:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Sahitya_Akademi_Award_
winners_for_Konkani

The authors whose profiles are missing include:

1986 Prakash Damodar Padgaonkar Hanv Monis Asvat-Thamo (Poetry)
1987 Arvind N. Mambro Panaji Atam Mhatari Zalea (Short stories)
1990 Ramesh B. Veluskar Savul Gori (Poetry)
1991 Meena Kakodkar Sapan Fulam (Short stories)
1992 Nagesh Karmali Vanshakulachen Denen (Poetry)
1993 Mahabaleshwar Sail Tarangan (Short stories)
1994 Gokuldas Prabhu Antar ayami (Short stories)
1995 Dilip Borkar Gomanchal Te Himachal (Travelogue)
1996 Sankar Ramani Nilem Nilem Braham (Poetry)
1997 Sheela Kolambkar Bhuim Chafim (Pen-portraits)
1998 John Baptist Sequeira Ashim Asim Lharan (Poetry)
1999 Saratchandra Shenoi Antarnad (Poetry)
2000 Pandurang Rajaram Shenay Bhangui Champhel'li Sanj (Poetry)
2001 Madhav Borcar Yaman (Poetry)
2002 Hema Naik Bhogadandd (Novel)
2003 (Late) Shashank Sitaram Parigh (Short Stories)
2004 Jayanti Nayak Athang (Short Stories)
2005 N. Shivdas Bhaangarsaall (Short Stories)
2006 Datta Damodar Naik Jai Kai Jui? (Essays)
2007 Devidas Kadam Dika (Novel)
2008 Ashok Kamat Ghannaghai Niyatiche (Cruel blows of destiny).
2009 Jess Fernandes Kirvontt (Collection of Poems)
2010 Arun Sakhardande Kavlyanche Shradh (Collection of Poems)
2012[3] Kashinath Shamba Lolienkar Kavyasutra (Poetry)
2013[4] Tukaram Rama Shet Manmotayam (Essays)
2014 Madhavi Sardesai Manthan (Essays)

In addition, the others might also need their profiles to be improved.

If anyone is willing to undertake to help complete any, some or all of these
profiles, I'd be happy to mentor and guide. It's simple to do (but the
Wikipedia, being an encyclopedia, wants all information to be referenced
carefully before it is included).

There are also other profiles of Goa writers (English, Romi, Marathi)
waiting to be completed. At another level, Prof Delfim Correia was searching
for images of Goan authors who wrote in Portuguese. Do you have any? Are you
willing to share?

Contact me offlinst at fredericknoro...@gmail.com

Regards, FN

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Wanted: volunteers to complete profile of Goa writers

[Frederick FN Noronha फ्रेड्रिक नोरोन्या *فريدريك نورونيا]

Sure. That would be great. We would love to have a virtual edit-a-thon.

To be honest, I'd also like to use the interest in local interest to build
up wider interest here in contributing to the Wikipedia as a whole.

The next local gaps waiting to be filled (as far as we here are concerned)
include:

* Educational institutions in Goa
* Konkan Railway stations in Maharashtra, Goa and Karnataka

Regards, Frederick.

Sorry, I know this might not quite be an 'Indic' (language) question, but
is there some way we could track the contribution to the English Wikipedia [

[Wikimediaindia-l] Editors not understanding the context?

[Frederick FN Noronha फ्रेड्रिक नोरोन्या *فريدريك نورونيا]

How does one deal with editors who apparently do not understand the
cultural context of what is being written?

I created a page for one of the most noted [[Fado]] singers in India here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonia_Sirsat

It was deleted in no time, and the reason given?
(G11 : Unambiguous
advertising  or
promotion)
Didn't even get a chance to contest or debate this...

Phew! FN

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] [Wikipedia-l] Editors not understanding the context?

[Frederick FN Noronha फ्रेड्रिक नोरोन्या *فريدريك نورونيا]

Thanks John. I don't intend to criticise anyone on the basis of age. Yet,
to me, it seems quite problematic when someone who understands little or
nothing about the cultural specificity of some distant geography goes about
deleting with such speed.

Sometime back, a prominent scholar who contributed immensely to the Konkani
language (a small language in coastal western India) was being dismissed as
non-notable. The reason? (i) The language is still largely not digitised
and (ii) even if it was, it would not be searchable via Google-type search
engines.

[Wikimediaindia-l] Barkha Datt's comments about the Wikipedia

[Frederick FN Noronha फ्रेड्रिक नोरोन्या *فريدريك نورونيا]

At around 1:04:50- 1:04:55 of this discussion
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3RhsO9q_y8], the Indian television anchor
Barkha Dutt complains: "Wikipedia says I have three husbands. I've not met
them yet."

Is her complaint true? If so, can it be rectified?

If not, can it be clarified?
