Dear Wikimedians,
As you may already know, the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) provides a
baseline of behaviour for collaboration on Wikimedia projects worldwide.
Communities may add to this to develop policies that take account of local
and cultural context while maintaining the criteria listed here as a
minimum standard. The Wikimedia Foundation Board has ratified the policy in
December 2020.
The current round of conversations is around how the Universal Code of
Conduct should be enforced across different Wikimedia platforms and spaces.
This will include training of community members to address harassment,
development of technical tools to report harassment, and different levels
of handling UCoC violations, among other key areas.
The conversation hour is an opportunity for community members from South
Asia to discuss and provide their feedback, which will be passed on to the
drafting committee. The details of the conversation hour are as follows:
- Date and Time: 16 September, 5 pm to 6:30 pm IST
- Meeting link: https://meet.google.com/dnd-qyuq-vnd | add to your
calendar

You can also attend the global round table sessions hosted on 18 September
- more details can be found on this page

Hello,
Khilkhilat (Lit: Giggles) is an ambulance service that provides free
ambulance service to a mother and her newly-born child. The free ambulance
service started in Gujarat in 2012, and started expanding in other states
such as Maharashtra (project name "Vastsalaya").
We have had a short Wikipedia article on this project, which is being
expanded at this moment.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khilkhilat
You may help
1) Image upload: The ambulance is pink in color (
https://civilhospitalahd.gujarat.gov.in/writereaddata/images/ambulance-khil…),
however we do not seem to have a free photograph on Wikimedia Commons. An
image in the infobox will definitely improve the article. If anyone from
Gujarat, or any other state, has a free photograph of Khilkhilat, please
upload it on Wikimedia Commons and add in the article.
2) If you know Gujarati, can you tell which is the correct spelling
ખિલખિલાટ or ખીલકીલાત? The ambulance and the posters/news articles use both
the spellings at different places? (I am co-mailing Gujarati mailing list)
3) The article has scope of improvement/expansion, including factual
accuracy check. You may help to expand/improve or do an accuracy check
(please add reliable references while adding information). If properly
expanded we can try taking the article to DYK under the 5X expansion
category.
Thanks,
