Hi WAM organizers, due to unexpected maintenance on wmfLabs, which host our judging tool, the tool is currently down and can not be used in around next 48 hours or less. Please inform local participants for such problem, and tell them they can submit their contribution after the maintenance. I will send another update when the tool comes back. If you have further questions regarding the tool, please feel free to reach me or the tool developer Le Loi. Best, Addis Wang/ sent by MediaWiki message delivery (സംവാദം) 22:07, 14 നവംബർ 2016 (UTC)

Congratulations! The Wikipedia Asian Month is almost ending and you've done amazing work of organizing. What we've got and what's next?

Here are some number I would like to share with you (by UTC Nov. 30 2am)

Total submitted: 7289; 669 unique users

Tool problem

If you can not submit articles via judging tool, use this meta page to do so. Please spread this message with local participants.

Here are what will come after the end of WAM

• Make sure you judge all articles before December 5th, and participants who can improve their contribution (not submit) before December 10th.
• Participates still can submit their contribution in November before December 2nd at this page. Please let your local wiki participates know. Once you finish the judging, please update this page after December 5th
• There will be three round of address collection scheduled: December 2nd, December 7th, and December 20th.
• Please report the local Wikipedia Asian Ambassador (who has most accepted articles) on this page, if the 2nd participants has more than 30 accepted articles, you will have two ambassadors.
• I will announce the name of Wikipedians who will able to pick a Wikimedia T-shirt from Wikimedia Store for free after I re-check their contributions.
• There will be a progress page for the postcards.

Some Questions

• It could be a case that local organizer does not agree on an article if shall accept it or not. In this situation, the judging tool will highlight the conflict articles in the "article's list". Please review other's opinion, and resolve the conflict by changing your decision or discuss with other judges.
• In case you wondering how can you use the WAM tool (Fountain) in your own contest, contact the developer Le Loi for more information.

എഴുതിയ ലേഖനം 400ൽ കൂടുതൽ വാക്കുകൾ ഉണ്ടെങ്കിലും ലിസ്റ്റിൽ വളരെക്കുറച്ച് വാക്കുകളേ കാണുന്നുള്ളു

മാത്രമല്ല, ഡിസംബർ 2 വരെ നീട്ടിയിട്ടുണ്ടെന്നു അറിയിപ്പുണ്ടായിരുന്നല്ലോ? അതുവരെ എഴുതിയവ സ്വീകരിക്കില്ലെ? ഞാൻ എഴുതിയവ:

• ബാദ്ഘീസ് പ്രവിശ്യ
• മ്യാന്മാറിലെ വിദ്യാഭ്യാസം
• സിന്ധുലി ജില്ല
• കുഷ്തിയ ജില്ല
• മൊഹമ്മദ് റേസ പഹ്‌ലവി

പട്ടികകളും ലിസ്റ്റുകളും വാക്കുകളുടെ എണ്ണത്തില് കൂട്ടുകയില്ല എന്നതാണ് ഇതിന്റെ കാരണം.

• ബാദ്ഘീസ് പ്രവിശ്യ - 278 വാക്കുകളേയുള്ളൂ.
• മ്യാന്മാറിലെ വിദ്യാഭ്യാസം - 360 വാക്ക് സ്വീകരിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ട്.
• സിന്ധുലി ജില്ല - ഇത് ചേർക്കാനായി ആവശ്യപ്പെട്ടിട്ടുണ്ട്.
• കുഷ്തിയ ജില്ല - 298 വാക്കുകളേയുള്ളൂ.
• മൊഹമ്മദ് റേസ പഹ്‌ലവി - ഇത് ഡിസംബർ 1 ന് എഴുതിയലേഖനമായതുകൊണ്ട് പരിഗണിക്കാൻ കഴിയില്ല.

ഡിസംബർ 2 വരെ നീട്ടിയിട്ടുണ്ടെന്നു - നവംബറിൽ നിർമ്മിച്ച ലേഖനങ്ങൾ ചേർക്കാൻ ഡിസംബർ 2 വരെ സമയമുണ്ടെന്നാണ് പറഞ്ഞത്. --രൺജിത്ത് സിജി {Ranjithsiji} ✉ 03:40, 2 ഡിസംബർ 2016 (UTC)

filled up the card and am sincerely thankful

Thanks a lot to select me for your sending postcards to those who completed the Wikipedia Asian Month special program. I write in Wikipedia at my own will. As a layman and am boasting of as a writer of the <bold>Wikipedia</bold> and called myself as a wikipedian, I have spend my precious time ( about 5-6 hours daily burning the midnight oil) and a broadband monthly subscription (a person like me is not so rich enough) for the last 5 years. My only intention was to see the Malayalam Wikipedia the best among the others in my lifetime. I have so far written over 800 articles which some others consider a wasteful of money and time. Some of my friends say that I just concentrate on increasing the number of articles. Why we bother about that? We never get any monetary benefit if we write one or 100 or 1000 articles. All is the same. You just go through them all and if you find anything unsuitable for the encyclopedia, anyone can remove them. As you know, I'm just a well-wisher of Wikipedia and am not a technocrat or anything like that, but a primary teacher who always think about free speech. I support Wikipedia because, I believe that knowledge should be free and should be the treasure of the whole mankind for ever. No matter my name is A, B or C. Basically, all we are human beings. If we be no more, knowledge will be here for ever for the minds of the freedom loving people. Number matters. Yes, stuff also matters. Thank you. രാംജേചന്ദ്രൻ 18:33, 10 ഡിസംബർ 2016 (UTC)

പുസ്തകങ്ങളുടെ ചിത്രങ്ങൾ ചേർക്കുന്നതിനെപ്പറ്റി

1. പുസ്തകദിന തിരുത്തൽ ഗംഭീരമായി. എന്റെ കയ്യിൽ 4000ത്തിനടുത്ത് പുസ്തകങ്ങൾ ഉണ്ട്. അവയുടെ മുഴുവൻ പേരും ചേർക്കണമെന്നാഗ്രഹിക്കുന്നു. (സമയം കിട്ടുമോ എന്നറിയില്ല, നെറ്റു പ്രോബ്ലം, പിന്നെ സമയം, ഇങ്ങനെ പോയാൽ 200 തികയ്ക്കാൻ പറ്റുമെന്നു കരുതുന്നു. ഒരു വർഷം കൊണ്ട് 3000 പറ്റുമായിരിക്കും) ഞാൻ ഇവിടെ ചേർക്കുന്ന പുസ്തകങ്ങൾ എല്ലാം എന്റെ ഗൃഹവായനശാലയിൽ ഉള്ളവയാണ്. പക്ഷെ, അവയുടെ ചിത്രങ്ങൾ ചേർക്കുന്നതെങ്ങനെയാണ്? റിസൊല്യൂഷൻ കുറച്ച് പ്രത്യേക പകർപ്പവകാശ അനുമതിയോടെ ചേർക്കാമല്ലൊ? അതിനെപ്പറ്റി വിശദമായി അറിയിക്കുക. എന്റെ കയ്യിൽ എപ്സൺ 210 സ്കാനർ പ്രിന്റർ ഉണ്ട്. അതുപയൊഗിച്ച് സ്കാൻ ചെയ്തെടുത്താൽ മതിയോ? അല്ലെങ്കിൽ ഫോണിലോ ക്യാമറയിലോ പുസ്തകത്തിന്റെ മുഖചിത്രം എടുത്ത് അപ്‌ലോഡ് ചെയ്താൽ മതിയോ? എത്ര റിസൊല്യൂഷൻ വരെ പറ്റും? എങ്ങനെയാണ് അപ്‌ലോഡ് ചെയ്യ്യ്യേണ്ടത്. കോമ്മൺസ് വഴി അപ്‌ലോഡ് ചെയ്യുമ്പോൾ ഏതു പകർപ്പവകാശം നൽകണം? ഇപ്പോൾ എഴുതിയ എല്ലാ ലേഖനങ്ങളിലും അവയുടെ ചിത്രം കൊടുക്കണമെന്നുണ്ട്.
2. വിക്കിപീഡിയ ഓഫ്‌ലൈനിൽ എഡിറ്റ് ചെയ്യാൻ കഴിയുമോ?
