Pradeep, do remember it's a multiway chat system. If you feel it is one sided, all you need to do is ask a question. A simple question can lead to an interactive session leaving everyone satisfied. Sankarshanan, thanks for the links. I guess we could implement something like that. -- Regards, Sri

Mildly OT, but still couldnt help from sharing when mis-information campaign goes on about Wikipedia to Indian corporate bodies like FICCI. May be we need to communicate Wikipedia is NOT about piracy clearly in circles that matter? In framing “content theft” as a problem affecting the county’s > m

Hi all, There is a tool[1] which can help you create list based articles faster by replacing existing interwiki links. Just copy the list syntax from source wiki and get names converted in your language with existing links. Please ensure to translate the remaining part of article which did not get

Pradeep, while I haven't used Google Hangout, or done videocalls with Skype, I'd just like to state that, IRC is nothing but a text chat. Like using an Instant Messenger. True, sharing files isn't easy, but you could use a workaround. I'm now tempted to attempt a Virtual Workshop over IRC. -- Reg

Hey guys, just to let you know, Quillpad.in has an application to type in Indic scripts, on Basic Java phones, though it isn't free. Also, there is an app called MatruBhasha which offers pretty much the same functionality. I got it from Tata Docomo's server. -- Regards, Srikanth Ramakrishnan. Wik

Hello, The majority of Wikipedias in languages of India now have a main page for mobile devices. Great job! Several languages remain without a mobile main page and they only have a search box: * Gujarati - https://gu.m.wikipedia.org/ * Punjabi - https://pa.m.wikipedia.org/ * Bhojpuri - https://bh

Accurately put, Pradeep. I would like to add that chances are there is no authoritative and complete list of monuments outside the Archaeological Survey of India which has its HQ in New Delhi. We may need to co-opt them to get details of what they list as monuments and heritage buildings throughout

hi, Going through the Timeline for Wiki Loves Monuments 2012[1], I sent a mail to Lodewijk for what they meant by "start a heritage project on your local wikipedia and analyse if the community wants to join your project". To which he sent these two WikiProjects as examples[2][3]. I went to search

Dear Pradeep, I think you suggested INTACH, so I followed it up. Have sent them a mail and was searching thru their listings. A few cities do have comprehensive listing so we can expand our own list. Could I suggest that we start a list on our Wiki somewhere? That way we can draw upon sources and m
