ഇന്ത്യൻ വിക്കിസമ്മേളനം - 2016 തിരുത്തുക

നമസ്കാരം,

ആദ്യത്തെ ഇന്ത്യൻ വിക്കി സമ്മേളനം 2011 ലാണ് നടന്നത്. വിക്കിമീഡിയയുടെ പതിനാല് വർഷത്തെ ചരിത്രത്തിൽ നടന്ന ഏക ഇന്ത്യൻ വിക്കി സമ്മേളനമായിരുന്നു ഇത്.

ഇന്ത്യൻ വിക്കിസമ്മേളനം 2016 (WCI 2016) എന്ന ആശയം വിക്കിമാനിയ 2015 ൽ നടന്ന ഇന്റിക്ക് അനൗപചാരിക ഒത്തുചേരലിലെ ചർച്ചകളിൽ നിന്ന് ഉരുത്തിരിഞ്ഞതാണ്. വിക്കിമാനിയ 2019-ന് ഇന്ത്യയ്ക്കു വേണ്ടി അപേക്ഷിക്കുക എന്ന ലക്ഷ്യത്തിനു മുന്നോടിയായാണ് ഇന്ത്യൻ വിക്കിസമ്മേളനം നടത്തുന്നത്. വിക്കിമാനിയ വിജയകരമായി നടത്തുവാനായി, ഇന്ത്യയിലെ എല്ലാ ഭാഷയിലും പെട്ട വിക്കിമീഡിയ് സമൂഹങ്ങൾ ഒരുമിച്ച് ഉണർന്നു പ്രവർത്തിക്കേണ്ട സമയമായി. ഈ ലക്ഷ്യത്തിന്റെ പൂർത്തീകരണത്തിനായി ആദ്യം ഒരു ഇന്ത്യൻ വിക്കിസമ്മേളനം നടത്തുക എന്നതാണ് ഏറ്റവും നല്ല തുടക്കം. ഇതു നമ്മുടെ ശക്തിയും ബലഹീനതകളും തിരിച്ചറിയാനും, വിക്കിമാനിയ 2019-നു വേണ്ടിയുള്ള മുന്നൊരുക്കങ്ങൾ നടത്താനും നമ്മെ സജ്ജമാക്കൂം. ഈ സമ്മേളനം നമ്മുടെ വൈവിധ്യങ്ങളിലെ എകത പ്രകടിപ്പിക്കാനുള്ള മികച്ച അവസരമാണ് :) അതിനാൽ എല്ലാ ഇന്റിക്ക് ഭാഷാ സമൂഹങ്ങളും അവയുടെ പ്രസരിപ്പും, ശക്തിയും, ഒരുമയും തെളിയിക്കുവാനുള്ള അവസരമായി ഈ സമ്മേളനത്തെ കണക്കാക്കി ദയവായി സന്നദ്ധപ്രവർത്തനത്തിനായി ഇവിടെ പങ്കചേരുക.

ആദരവോടെ,

ഇന്ത്യൻ വിക്കിസമ്മേളനം 2016 സന്നദ്ധപ്രവർത്തകർ

Train-the-Trainer 2016: Event details and invitation to apply തിരുത്തുക

Greetings from CIS-A2K,

It gives us great pleasure to inform that the Train-the-Trainer 2016 programme organised by CIS-A2K is going to be held from 15-17 June, Bangalore.

Train-the-Trainer programme was conceptualised in order to bridge the gap between wiki volunteers/enthusiasts who would like to conduct off reach activities and have been discouraged due to non availability of resources and support. The three day residential event will include presentations by the participants regarding a plan to improve their wiki-projects, expert sessions about conducting effective outreach activities, best practices from the global wiki communities, revised grant structure of WMF, activities to understand WMF strategy and vision, understanding global metrics and coming up with a concrete plan by participants in association with A2K to improve their wiki-projects.

A2K invites Wikimedians to apply for this programme. Participants will be selected based on their on wiki and off wiki activities and their responses to the questions asked in the Google form. Selected participants are required to finish pre-work assigned to them without fail. Please fill the Google form given below and write to us at tanveer@cis-india.org, tito@cis-india.org and rahim@cis-india.org for more details.

Hi. I can see that this project has old JavaScript that needs to be updated. I would happily make the required updates myself, but I would have to – at least temporarily – become an admin here to do that (because the relevant pages are in the MediaWiki namespace). I have already made these updates on a number of other projects, so it would be very easy for me to do this. If no one does anything, some JavaScript-related tools will break later this year. If you want me to make these updates, you can grant me admin rights and I will make the updates as soon as I can. Nirmos (സംവാദം) 05:26, 4 ജൂൺ 2016 (UTC)[മറുപടി]

While India struggled to win medals, ending its tally with just two medals, there had been some spectacular performances. Abhinav Bindra, Jitu Rai were only marginally short at conceiving medals, while Saina-Bopana reached till the Bronze medal match, Depika Kumari lost to the world's best. At the most, Indian Hockey contingent reached the knock-out stage after so many years.

Wiki Speaks Your Language തിരുത്തുക

 

Hello all and sorry for writing this message in English. It is my pleasure to inform you about the launch of the Wiki Speaks Your Language initiative with the goal of enriching the Wikimedia projects with freely licenced audio (and video) files documenting spoken examples of every language, language variety and dialect in the world.

The idea originates from the curiosity of many readers viewing language articles not only to read about the language but also to hear how does it sound. In most of the cases, our language articles lack such files and readers usually end up searching videos on YouTube, notwithstanding that we have the capacity as a movement and the resources to meet their wish.

The initiative lists three possible ways of acquiring the freely licenced audio (and video) files: 1) by adapting existing audio and video files on Wikimedia Commons (mostly from the Spoken Wikipedia projects), 2) by liberating existing audio and video files from the repositories of GLAM and educational institutions, and 3) by engaging Wikimedia communities, GLAM and educational institutions in the recording of new audio and video files.

In the first phase of the initiative, the easiest way to start is by working with the resources we already have and therefore my proposal and kind request to the Malayalam Wikipedia community is to get involved in adapting existing videos from the Spoken Wikipedia project. There are some useful tips on what the existing files should be adapted to. The adapted files should be categorised under "Category:Wiki Speaks Malayalam", tagged with WSYL template and added to the list of languages.

Train-the-Trainer 2017 and Malayalam Wikipedia representation തിരുത്തുക

Hello,
You may be aware that Train-the-Trainer (TTT) 2017 will be conducted between 20 and 23 February in Bangalore. TTT attempts to groom leadership skills among the Indian Wikimedia community members. We have received applications from all over India, and even from outside of the country. We are delighted to inform you that we have got a very good number of applications from Malayalam Wikipedia. As we have received a large number of good applications from the Malayalam Wikipedia, it is becoming difficult for us to select the best candidates. We think the experienced Wikipedians of this Wikipedia may help to select the best participants.

Therefore, we are requesting the active and experienced Wikipedians of this community to suggest two participants from the applicants' list below, who you think, should participate in TTT 2017. Please read this page for more details about requirement and event details.

We have received nominations from:

  1. User:Sidheeq
  2. User:Sugeesh
  3. User:Fotokannan
  4. User:Jithinrajtk
  5. User:Shagil Kannur
  6. User:Rajeshodayanchal
  7. User:Ovmanjusha
  8. User:Lalsinbox
  9. User:Bluemangoa2z

Please let us know if you have any question(s). --Tito Dutta (Talk) 18:48, 4 ഫെബ്രുവരി 2017 (UTC)[മറുപടി]

If the applications from Malayalam Wikipedia community is larger than the decided list, you can just reject my application, all of the other persons from the applications are really best workers of the community, checking the edit history of person is the best way to select. Rajesh Odayanchal - രാജേഷ്‌ ഒടയഞ്ചാൽ - (സംവാദം) 13:24, 5 ഫെബ്രുവരി 2017 (UTC)[മറുപടി]
As per the same reason mentioned above you can reject my application too:- Manjusha | മഞ്ജുഷ (സംവാദം) 14:13, 5 ഫെബ്രുവരി 2017 (UTC)[മറുപടി]
As I have been assaigned for SSLC public exam duty, I am not able to attend the workshop this time. - --കണ്ണൻഷൺമുഖം (സംവാദം) 15:47, 5 ഫെബ്രുവരി 2017 (UTC) User:Fotokannan[മറുപടി]

You can also reject my application as I am a beginner in this community. Shagil Kannur (സംവാദം) 12:25, 7 ഫെബ്രുവരി 2017 (UTC)[മറുപടി]

I thought that you may get the proper applications from the list itself now, you can easily check the editing history of person from the list and select according to the total edit counts, its better if more than two applications are there in the waiting list to select, or you can find the appropriate applications to ask malayalam wiki adimins mailing list, they will select two persons from the rest list.

WP0 abusers attack at ml.wiki തിരുത്തുക

(Sorry for using English) Dear Malai users, as you may know there's a project to deliver Wikipedia without any fee via mobile connection in some countries (Angola and Bangladesh for example). Several users actually exploit this possibility to use Wikipedia as a file sharing platform, choosing random wikis (fi.wiki, pt.wiki, etc.) to upload files to share via social networks. Starting from some days they started attacking ml.wiki. Deleting these files as soon as possible is important in order to discourage this kind of abuse. Ml.wiki sysops already deleted lots of files and I had to do the same some minutes ago. So, I want to inform you about this situation and ask if you're ok with stewards deleting these files since most of these vandalisms happens when it's night in Malaysia. --Vituzzu (സംവാദം) 20:02, 5 ഒക്ടോബർ 2017 (UTC)[മറുപടി]

Featured Wikimedian [November 2017] തിരുത്തുക

 

On behalf of Wikimedia India, I hereby announce the Featured Wikimedian for November 2017.

Balaji Jagadesh is one of the top contributors from the Tamil Wikimedia community. Though he started contributing since 2009, he was quite active after his participation in WikiConference India 2011. Initially he started contributing to Tamil Wikipedia, but was later attracted towards Tamil Wikisource, Tamil Wikitionary, and Wikidata. His global contributions count to whooping 2,50,000 edits. He is an admin on Tamil Wikitionary.

After his interaction with Mr. Loganathan (User:Info-farmer), Balaji was very much motivated to contribute to Wikimedia projects. He says, "When I was editing in Tamil Wikipedia, I used to translate science articles from English to Tamil. But faced problem in finding equivalent Tamil words. The English to Tamil dictionaries were inadequate. Hence I felt the need to work in the Tamil Wikitionary. After a while there was a collaboration with Tamil Wikisource and Tamil Nadu Government through Tamil Virtual University through 2000 CC0 books were uploaded".

As an active contributor to Wikidata, he says that the vision of Wikimedia movement is, "Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge", but with Wikidata we can make it, "Imagine a world in which every single human being and every single machine can freely share in the sum of all knowledge". Apart from regular contributions, he also created templates to Tamil Wikimedia projects, and also maintains Tamil Wikisource's official Twitter handle.

Balaji hails from Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, and is a post-graduate is Physics. He currently works as a Senior Geophysicist in Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC).

Featured Wikimedian [December 2017] തിരുത്തുക

 

Greetings, on behalf of Wikimedia India, I, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga introduce you to the Featured Wikimedian of the Month for December 2017, Hrishikes Sen.

Hrishikes Sen is one of the most active contributors from the Bengali community. Though he started editing English and Bengali Wikipedia in 2007, he had to take a long break due to professional constraints. Later he started working on Bengali Wikisource from 2012, and ever since, he has been an active contributor, and expanded to English Wikisource as well. With more than 45,000 global edits, he is an admin on English Wikisource.

As a child, Hrishikes always found reading books as a fascinating task. He says that he finds reference books as interesting as mystery novels. That interest, over years motivated him to contribute to Wikisource. The journey and motivation behind his contributions to Wikisource can be read from a post on WMF's blog, Why I contribute to Wikisource?. He says that till date he's been only active online, but he plans to do outreach in the coming future. He hopes that attending the 10th Anniversary Celebratory Workshop of Bengali Wikisource in Kolkata on 10 December may be a harbinger to his future offline activities.

Hrishikes believes that Wikisource will one day emerge as of the top digital libraries in the world, and says that as a store-house for primary and secondary source materials for Wikipedia, the importance of Wikisource is steadily becoming invaluable. Much of his time, Hrishikes spends working around Indian works, with a special focus on the works of Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, Jagadish Chandra Bose, and Rabindranath Tagore. Apart from being a proofreader, he uploaded more than 750 books spreading over five languages to Wikimedia Commons.

Hrishikes hails from Kolkata, but is presently based in Lucknow. By profession, he is a doctor serving in paramilitary forces. To his Bengali friends, he welcomes them to contribute to Bengali Wikisource which has more than 676,000 that have completed Optical Character Recognition and are waiting to be proofread.
