<b>A two-day Wikipedia workshop was organised in the Srimati Savitribai Phule Pune University on the 20th August 2015. The workshop was focused on enriching Wikipedia with 100 articles related to notable Indian women under the scope of the “Sau Dhuni Teen” project.</b>
<p id="docs-internal-guid-7755dbad-d111-8957-68c7-f3ec5877ad2e" dir="ltr">To begin with, we announced it in the Marathi Wikipedia <a href="https://goo.gl/QJrPDJ">village pump </a>prior to the workshop inviting Wikipedians to join. The primary goal of the project was to to introduce Wikipedia as an encyclopaedia for research and a concept to new editors, to promote Marathi Wikipedia and promote the use of Indian languages in Wikipedia.This workshop provided a platform to have an open interaction within the editors, existing as well as new. Interestingly, there was a male:female ratio of 1:10 among the new participants out of which five edited Wikipedia before coming there. Six new accounts were created on that day. Each of the participants created at least one new article which resulted creation of 15 new articles where 28 articles in English, Bangla and Hindi Wikipedias were edited totally. As the participants were new, learning typing using Wikipedia’s native Marathi input method “<a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:UniversalLanguageSelector/Input_methods/mr-transliteration">Aksharantaran</a>” was slightly difficult for some where some found the <a href="http://www.google.com/inputtools/chrome/">Google’s input </a>easier. Unavailability of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:About_the_Sandbox">sandboxes</a> (user subpages where users work on a draft Wikipedia article until it is fully ready to be published) in Marathi Wikipedia was a concern as many editors were unsure if their article might be changed and/or deleted during the time when they were editing. During the workshop one good quality article was created and the second one was in progress by the end of the second day. We helped the editors to refer to the existing good quality articles for understanding how to write one.</p>
<p dir="ltr">We are planning to to engage with the participating new editors once or twice in a quarter. The event is being organised in collaboration with Centre for Indian Languages in Higher Education (CILHE).</p>
