Rahmanuddin Shaik and I facilitated the individual sessions. Thanks to Sanket Oswal, Treasurer, <a href="http://wiki.wikimedia.in/">Wikimedia India</a> who shared about the chapter’s ongoing activities, especially the <a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2016_in_India">Wiki Loves Earth</a> project. The community members from Nashik shared about their plans for a meetup in the city of Nashik in June.</p>
<a href="http://mr.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:SantoshiWiki">Santoshi Tiwari</a>,
a Wikimedian from the city of Nashik who was attending a programme like
this for the first time feels that there is need for more such
programmes more often in multiple cities as there are already 16
Wikimedians from her city who are eager to learn more advanced editing
skills. “I learnt about many interesting aspects of the Wikimedia world,
like the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Adventure">Wikipedia Adventure</a> game, Wikidata and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Policies_and_guidelines">Wikipedia policies and guidelines</a>
<p>.
Until this time, I was contributing to Wikipedia on my own but I
started contributing to Wikidata after this event. Now I am enjoying
playing the Wikipedia Adventure. I also got the opportunity to meet many
Wikimedians in person” shares Santoshi. She explains, “this was good as
an introductory event but I would like to participate in sessions that
are more detail-oriented. Also, having edit-a-thons during such events
will be very useful. With a total of about 19-20 people participating in
total, 7 female participants is still a good starting point to
have a balanced community. However there should be plans for
accommodating more people in the upcoming events”.</p>
Going forward, there are plans to have at least one session in four
month in cities where there are higher number of Marathi Wikimedians.

<p> </p>
<p dir="ltr">After this use of Wikidata was thought and INfoboxes using wikidata.</p>
<p> </p>
<p dir="ltr">Post lunch some of the tools and their uses and applications were thought Copyvio, Duplication detector, Google books citation, Citation generator and Hay's tool directory</p>
