Hello friends,
This is with reference to the selection of topics by active editors on Offline
Wikipedia for Indian Schools (Full version)
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Offline_Wikipedia_for_In…>
.
A message by one editor to another on a talk page, alerted me to the fact
that most editors are just deleting or adding articles on the list itself.
This will create a form of confusion if everyone pitches in and does so.
While team members are enthusiastic and eager to contribute, you will agree
that some kind of simple system needs to be established that will allow us
to avoid confusion.
*Guidelines on how to remove or include new articles from a list*
*''A simple system has been framed so that adding/removing articles does
not result in a free-for-all. Kindly follow these rules:''*
* Original list to be left intact.
* Articles sought to be deleted to be moved to a list below titled
"Articles to be deleted". Preferably <s>strike</s> out the article in the
original list also.
* Articles sought to be included to be moved to a list below titled
"Articles to be included".
* Please give a short reason for removal/inclusion and sign off after it.
* Please use talk page for discussing issues or comments.
Warm regards,
Ashwin Baindur

Subject: [Wikimediaindia-l] A new mailing list for Wikipedians working on
India related content on English Wikipedia & related projects.
To: wikimediaindia-l <wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Dear friends,
A new list has been born.
https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-in-en
Now, English Wikipedians editing on India-related subjects can debate,
discourse and discuss to their heart's content without anyone disturbing
the Wikimedia-I list. We hope this will give rise to much more discourse on
subjects relevant to cntent to English Wikipedia. This is also the place
where discussions on Wikimedia Commons, and other English Wikimedia
Projects such as WikiQuote, Wiktionary, WikiSource etc can be discussed.
Besides this, discussions on Offline Wikipedia, GLAM or other English
language events are also welcome.
A lot of action will come away from Wikimedia-l into this list besides the
hot new topics we shall be discussing. So if you are an editor who edits on
English Wikipedia on matters India, besides others, or if you want to feel
the pulse on whats happening on the main wikipedia as relates to our
country be sure to click the link above & subscribe.
Lets make new and great things happen!
Warm regards,
