[Wikimediaindia-l] Tamil Wiki Media Contest -- Results
Hi all, We are happy to announce the results of Tamil Wiki Media Contest[1].

This is an amazing news, congratulations to all the Tamil Wikipedians for their effort, hoping the 300 newbies remain contributors after this.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Tamil Wiki Media Contest
Thanks Asaf, Can we get back to you in three weeks time?. By then we would be finished with the datamining / statistics and the judging process and will be able to provide a complete picture for the blogpost. We will be submitting a full report with statistics and prize winner data for the grant process. So it would be easy for us work on the blogpost after we have all the data for report on hand. regards Bala On Fri, Mar 2, 2012 at 12:36 AM, Asaf Bartov wrote: > These are fantastic news!

These are fantastic news! A tremendous contribution to our mission, fueled by volunteer passion! I applaud the Tamil community. We at the Foundation would love to work with the organizers on showcasing this in a post on the Wikimedia Blog; I realize your hands are full right now, but we can start discussing this (e-mail me) and preparing for a blog post to follow the announcement of the winners.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Tamil Wiki Media Contest
Many congratulations to the Tamil Community for the resounding success of this contest (as I understand the contributions are 5x the initial target and contributors are 3x the initial target). Sodabottle, Logic and team have worked really hard to pull this off, hats off to them!

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Tamil Wiki Media Contest
Ramesh,
The files that are uploaded as part of the contest are in the category
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:TamilWiki_Media_Contest
This cat gets automatically added, when the special upload wizard is used.
If you want to directly upload to commons or use other tools like
commonist, please add this category to the files
Regarding template,
We have a {{TamilWiki Media Contest}} template. But we have not designed
this to be added automatically to the files. (as a deliberate decision ).
If this template is added to the files, then the category too gets added
automatically.

Bala

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Tamil Wiki Media Contest
Eric, Our experience with the upload wizard has been great. Its extremely useful and newbie editors are finding it easy to use. There was a slight hitch with customising it though. Commons hasnt yet decided the procedure for giving the "upload campaign editor" rights. Our requests for rights were denied because there is no community approved procedure for it yet. We had to take the help of a commons admin for the customisation. Apart from that the campaign customised wizard is perfect for competitions/scavenger hunts like ours. - Bala On Wed, Nov 23, 2011 at 10:44 PM, Erik Moeller wrote: > On Wed, Nov 23, 2011 at 6:06 PM, Srikanth Lakshmanan > wrote: > > Tamil Wiki Community is currently organizing a 3 month long media > > contest[1][2] with the aim of increasing media files related to Tamil / > > Tamilians / Tamil culture to be used in Tamil Wiki Projects and > > encouraging non-text contributions from users who could contribute easily > > through pictures, sounds, videos. > > This is wonderful, good luck.

[Wikimediaindia-l] Tamil Wiki Media Contest
Hello All, Tamil Wiki Community is currently organizing a 3 month long media contest[1][2] with the aim of increasing media files related to Tamil / Tamilians / Tamil culture to be used in Tamil Wiki Projects and encouraging non-text contributions from users who could contribute easily through pictures, sounds, videos. Total prize money of 850 USD is up for grabs. As such within a week of starting the contest, we have got over 350 images from participants in India and Srilanka. Apart from images which can be used on Wikipedia pages, pronunciation files are also being uploaded to be used in Wiktionary. Arrangements are on to get it widely publicized on print / radio / television media across places with Tamil population. Facebook[3] is also helping a lot in getting traction. Spread out the word, also do participate!
