Dear everyone,
I trust this email finds you in good health. We are excited to announce the
upcoming Image Description Month in India description-a-thon, a
collaborative effort, Image Description Month
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image_Description_Month>, aimed at
enhancing image-related content across Wikimedia projects. This event is
scheduled to run for an entire month, from October 1st to October 31st,
2023.
During the course of this event, our focus will revolve around three
primary areas: Wikipedia, Wikidata, and Wikimedia Commons. We have several
tasks lined up, including adding captions to images on Wikipedia,
associating images with relevant Wikidata items, and improving the
organization, categorization, and captions of media files on Wikimedia
Commons etc.
