Supporting Indian Wikipedia Program resource distribution[edit]

In 2017 - 2018, the Wikimedia Foundation and Google working in close coordination with the Centre for Internet and Society (CIS), Wikimedia India chapter (WMIN) and user groups will pilot a program encouraging Wikipedia communities to create locally relevant and high-quality content in Indian languages. This program (Code name: Project Tiger) will:

(a) Support active and experienced Wikipedia editors through the donation of laptops and stipends for internet access and
(b) Sponsor a language-based contest that aims to address existing Wikipedia content gaps.

The objective of the program is to provide laptops and internet stipends for existing editors who need support to contribute more actively. 50 basic model Acer Chromebooks and Internet stipends for 100 contributors are available for distribution. Provided resources are the sole property of the beneficiaries and should be used for the betterment of the movement.

If you're an active Wikimedian, and interested to receive support from this project, please apply. It will take around 10 minutes of your time, and will ask descriptive questions about your contribution to Indic Wikimedia projects.

Shunya Palanpuri[edit]

@KartikMistry and Gazal world:

Hi again,

Just traced a photo of Shunya Palanpuri on Commons. But the description is rather confusing. Please have a look and suggest if this is workable by you on Gujarati Wikipedia and me on Urdu Wikipedia:

Help with MR?[edit]

Hi KartikMistry! Hope you don't mind me asking here but I saw you speak mr and was wondering if you could take a look at something for me on mrwiktionary. I am a global sysop and while patrolling and removing spam I came across some mass entries that appear to have been part of a coordinated event but look badly translated and out of scope. The content for one reads: (FUEL) कार्यशाळेने संगणक प्रणालीं करिता प्रमाणित शब्द :कप्प्यातील माहिती which according to google translates roughly as "certified workshop word for computer systems" which leads back to this which is certainly out of scope and promotional but I wanted to get a native speaker's opinion before moving forward at Meta.
