Stats for March 2016
https://cis-india.org/openness/stats-for-march-2016
<b>CIS-A2K team closely works with 5 Indian languages, we call as focus language areas.
Here are the stats for the month of March 2016.</b>
<p>We generate stats for each of our focus language area month on month, and it has been used for designing and modifying our strategies from time to time. Though these stats were never published publicly, as we get them at stats.wikimedia.org already and publishing here is just repeating it; it was felt that some more metrics can be added and published month on month here at CIS blog. Also, the data here would be for the last month, while it takes two months for data to get updated at stats.wikimedia.org.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Stub articles created :</p>
<p>Kannada - 3/131</p>
<p>Konkani - 9/38</p>
<p>Marathi - 50/176</p>
<p>Odia - 8/89</p>
<p>Telugu - 59/284</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In Kannada Wikipedia, about 131 new articles were created and of these only 3 are stub class articles. This is because Kannada Wikipedia is implementing a strict policy on not allowing a stub class article. There is an abuse filter created by one of the admins, Harish MG, which does not allow an editor to submit a smaller article than 1000 bytes. While Konkani showed a good progress in creation of new articles and only 9 of these 38 articles were stub class articles.</p>
<p>Marathi and Odia had a 28% and 9% share of total articles created as stubs respectively, while Telugu has about 21% of total articles created as stubs.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Active editors count has gone up in Kannada with 133 active editors during March 2016 - this could be accounted to the post 13th anniversary activities. Four focused editathons were organised as part of the 13th anniversary celebrations. The number of active editors increased in Konkani too. While in Marathi, Odia and Telugu the number was consistent with the previous months' numbers.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now. lets look at the editing activity.</p>
<p>Kannada had 3279 edits adding about 86.57 MB of data. Konkani Wikipedia saw 920 edits in all, adding 8.41 MB of data. Marathi Wikipedia had 2926 edits with 68.42 MB of data; Odia Wikipedia added 1106 edits and 15.28 MB of data and Telugu Wikipedia had 8559 edits with 122.17 MB of data.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Having a provision of local image upload, Telugu Wikipedia added 53 images to the project while Marathi, one image was added. </p>

https://cis-india.org/openness/sau-dhuni-teen-project-december-edit-a-thon
<b>As part of the "Sau Dhuni Teen Project" a multilingual Wikipedia Wikipedia edit-a-thon was organised at the Women's Studies Centre, University of Pune.</b>
<p><strong>Concept note:</strong><br />The digital domain is becoming increasingly significant as a knowledge repository today. Especially relevant in this context is the online encyclopedia Wikipedia, which contains information on almost every topic under the sun and is used extensively by researchers. The fact that information from the Wikipedia is even used as a starting point of academic writing necessitates thinking about how this information is organized, or in other words, how we conceptualize Wikipedia as a knowledge resource. In the multilingual Indian context, generation of content in the Indian languages is a logical next step. It is with the intention of strengthening this knowledge network in the social sciences, that Women's Studies Centre, Pune University conducts content generation workshops with university researchers. The broad mandate of the digital resource generation workshop is to introduce university students to tools of collaborative knowledge production on the internet and methods for generating new online content in Indian languages under Sau Dhuni Teen Project. Also introductory session on Wiktionary.</p>
<p><strong>Project aim:</strong></p>
<ul><li>Facilitate researchers to think critically about concepts and their associations</li><li>Involve researchers as active editors on the Indian language Wikipedias</li><li>Utilize Wikipedia as a platform to generate Indian language annotations of academic texts in Women's Studies and the Social Sciences</li></ul>
<p>The organisers are also planning to engage the students in annotating one key women's studies text each through follow-up workshops and credit them as contributors to the "Annotated Bibliography project"</p>
<strong>Project outcome:</strong>
<p>9 female participants joined for this edit-a-thon and edited various articles on Marathi Wikipedia. The Marathi Wikimedia community being quite particular about the citations from Marathi-language source was somehow challenging as the participants struggled at times to find much information about many things notable. A simple step by step <a class="external-link" href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Basic_Guidelines_for_your_Wikipedia_entry.pdf">tutorial</a> was created, printed and shared among the participants. Some of the participants showed interest in participating in the <a class="external-link" href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CIS-A2K/Train-a-Wikipedian">Train-a-Wikipedian</a> programme that CIS-A2K is planning. Sheena D'Lima engaged with the participants by sharing her learning from <a class="external-link" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:MOS">Manual of Style</a> for writing Wikipedia article.</p>

https://cis-india.org/a2k/blogs/marathi-wikipedia-workshop-1lib1ref-session-at-goa-university
<b>Marathi language department of Goa University has initiated the process to document the culture of Goa on Marathi Wikipedia and Commons.</b>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">As this was the first exposure to Wikimedia projects, a two day extensive training workshop was planned. In the same event, a three hour session in library as part of 1lib1ref session was also conducted. CIS-A2K has partnered Goa University for conducting the event which attracted a footfall of 36 participants.</p>
<h3>Primary objectives</h3>
<p>The following objectives were broadly covered in the sessions held at Goa University campus on 31 January and 1 February 2019:</p>
<ul>
<li>Awareness about digital knowledge in Marathi, Open knowledge resources and Wikimedia projects.</li>
<li>Explain participants the history of Wiki movement and the pillars of Wikipedia.</li>
<li>Train the participants in basic editing skills in Wikipedia.</li>
<li>Explore the ways to find reliable and verifiable references.</li>
<li>Present the article structure, manual of style, and categorization.</li>
<li>Explain copyright, Commons guidelines and uploading images on Wikipedia.</li>
<li>Discuss follow-up plan and integration with academic activities.</li>
<li>Add reliable references as part of 1lib1ref session in library.</li>
</ul>
<h3>The Workshop</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">The practice of Marathi typing in Unicode was carried out through preparing articles as Word document. The students selected the articles on history of Goa, writers and artists of Goa, tourism in Goa and villages in Goa. Participants learnt basic editing skills, adding references and uploading on Commons. They worked first in sandboxes on their new articles. The content addition is in progress. The verified content would be moved to main namespace under the guidance of experienced editors.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">The concept of 1lib1ref campaign was shared with Chief Librarian of Goa University. The response was very positive. As a result, in the last two sessions of the workshop on 1 February, the participants added references to the articles. The session was conducted in the library. The library staff and faculty facilitated the process.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify; ">Follow-up</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">The editors are preparing the articles in sandboxes and offline also. It is proposed to conduct another iteration to verify and publish this content in main namespace. The students are also taking the images of issues related to Goan culture. The exclusive session on Commons is also proposed. The librarian has suggested making separate rack of reference books related to Goa culture and heritage for utility. This idea will be explored in the next 1lib1ref iteration in May-June 2019.</p>
