So Govt. of Karnataka could rightfully copyright these works, which it has now released under CC-BY-SA 3.0. A useful thing to read in this context would be this [1]. As Ravi pointed 11th Century Kannada literature is already public domain . There is no point in re-licensing it as CC-BY-SA . Digitization does not create fresh copyright . While thanking Govt for their efforts to make it available , please dont create fresh copyright on it . And while looking at details, There was no point of time in which govt of Karanataka had copyright on this content . This effort is almost in same lines of Open access initiative of rare public domain books by Kerala Sahitya academy happened almost same time last year (http://www.keralasahityaakademi.org/online_library/index.html) .

Since, WP is community based, my best suggestion is that ignore such companies/agencies. As an editor, if you feel that something isn't fit for Wikipedia, tag it and let the community decided it's fate. If it has been deleted, let it be. Maybe then, people will understand that WP is not the right place to advertise.

I understand their need for advertisement, but somehow few of them just can't be convinced that WP is not the place for advertisements. In this recent quest I got to know few astonishing things. Firstly, there are companies in market who actually claim to WRITE articles for them on WP and take money for it. Second, People actually do PAY for this. If the article gets deleted then in some cases these companies give customers money back stating some crappy reason, and not clearly saying that why and how did it get removed from Wikipedia. Getting more into this I also came to know about a company which claims to build sources and reference for you which can support your article, I don't know how, but it does at least claim so. I am sure other community members might have sometimes faced this and some of them might know something more about it. Care to share your word please? Thanks. -- Thanks Arnav (ricku).

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Announcing Noopur Raval as Consultant, Wikimedia Foundation (India Program, Communications)
Congratulations Noopur! On Mon, Mar 5, 2012 at 7:19 PM, Hisham his...@wikimedia.org wrote: Dear All, I am pleased to announce that Noopur Raval ([User:Noopur28http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Noopur28] has been selected as Consultant to the Wikimedia Foundationhttp://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Home, and will support Communications for India Programhttp://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/India_Program. This position will perform 4 key functions. Firstly, it will support communications with our community. This involves a regular set of updates (such as newsletters) as well as specific communication projects such as story-telling of local community initiatives (to document experiences, celebrate successes and cross-pollinate ideas.) This is *not* for day-to-day program communications - which is a core part of each of our responsibilities in the India Program team. Second will be to support media PR for local community initiatives. The single biggest challenge here will to be get more Indic language media coverage to support community building efforts. This will be done directly with community members and also in co-ordination with the India Chapter http://wikimedia.in/'s Communications Media PR team http://members.wikimedia.in/Communications. The third aspect is to build and expand existing community social networks (such as WikimediaIndia http://www.facebook.com/WikimediaIndia on facebook) and to help with the use of social networks to support community building. Lastly, there is untapped potential of using digital outreach - to augment existing physical outreach efforts. We need to (very, very carefully) explore if we can reach out to our large and growing reader base and inform, encourage and enable them to become editors using online channels and resources. Noopur is a community member and has supported outreach activities (in Ahmedabadhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Takes_Ahmedabad Delhi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Delhi/Delhi6), is a member of Delhi SIGhttp://members.wikimedia.in/City_and_Language_Special_Interest_Groups of the Chapter, has participated in community collaborations like Collaboration of the Month http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:INCOTM and has been actively trying to start GLAMhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Glam in India. Noopur is from Gandhinagar http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gandhinagar and is graduating from JNUhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jawaharlal_Nehru_University with a Master's in Arts Aesthetics. She has a triple honors Bachelor's in Media Studies, Literature and Psychology from Christ College, Bangalorehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christ_College,_Bangalore. She has interned with Radio Mirchi, Times of India and the Centre for Internet Society (amongst others) - as well as done some teaching assignments. She is an active blogger (including for the India Art Summit, 2011.) She has published a novella and co-authored an anthology of poems, plays short stories and has co-presented a paper on Wikiwars with [User:Srikeit.] She is also an amateur photographer and has contributed to Commons http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Noopur28 as well as other platforms. The Communications position has taken a long time to fill. The initial call for selection was in Septemberhttp://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimediaindia-l/2011-September/004252.html. I reported back to the community in Decemberhttp://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimediaindia-l/2011-December/006055.html that I had failed to find the right candidate and hence the delay. There were a number of deserving candidates and this selection has taken time because of the need to find the most suitable profile for a complex role. This role requires the right mix of an academic foundation in communications, domain expertise as well as adequate familiarity with our community. It also requires adaptability and strong learning skills - because so much of what we are trying to do is pioneering. I am confident that she brings the right level of experience and competencies - and I'm very excited by the opportunity of making a step jump in the impact of communications for our community. Do join me in welcoming Noopur. She will start on March 12 and will be based in New Delhi.
