Commons talk:Wiki Loves Monuments 2020 in India

COVID-19

Due to Covid19 situation travelling to monuments and taking photographs is a bit risky now. Also organizing photo-walks is currently out of reach. Still we will try. --Ranjithsiji (talk) 16:01, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

@Ranjithsiji: , please do not take any risks to go outside to take photographs. We strongly discourage you to do so. If you have photographs of the monuments taken before, you are totally allowed to upload that. We want you to be safe first! -- Bodhisattwa (talk) 02:10, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

Gujarat

The list or monuments should sorted by ID instead of name. State Protected Monument list of Gujarat is incomplete.-Nizil Shah (talk) 05:35, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

@Nizil Shah: , thanks for your comments. For this moment, we cannot actually sort the monuments as per the ID, due to a bug in mediawiki, which cannot properly sort numbers. That is the reason, we had to sort the table as per alphabetical order of the monuments, for now. For State protected monuments of Gujarat, we are aware that there are some gaps and we will work on that very soon. -- Bodhisattwa (talk) 02:10, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

@Nizil Shah: , thanks to @Atudu: , State protected monuments of Gujarat are all covered now. If you help to improve the quality of the data by adding coordinates and other missing data, that would be great. -- Bodhisattwa (talk) 04:10, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

@Bodhisattwa: , on Wikipedia article of state protected monuments in Gujarat has coordinates of many places listed. Can you scrap data from there and add it on Wikidata? Nizil Shah (talk) 07:24, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

@Nizil Shah: , we are in the process of adding coordinates for monuments of different states. That might take some time.-- Bodhisattwa (talk) 03:52, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

Movement Strategy - What Are Your Choices For Implementation

Hello WLM India friends,

The time has come to put Strategy into work and everyone's invited to participate.

The Movement Strategy Design Group and Support Team are inviting you to organize virtual meetings with your community and colleagues before the end of October. The aim is for you to decide what ideas from the Movement Strategy recommendations respond to your needs and will have an impact in the movement. The recommendations are available in different formats and in many languages. There are 10 awesome recommendations and close to 50 recommended changes and actions or initiatives. Not everything will be implemented. The aim of prioritization is to create an 18-month implementation plan to take some of the initiatives forward starting in 2021.

Regional and thematic platforms are great ways to prepare and share ideas. Prioritization is at the level of your group, affiliate, and community. Think local and relevant! Afterwards, we will come together in November to co-create the implementation plan. More information about November’s global events will be shared soon. For now and until the end of October, organize locally and share your priorities with us.

You can find guidance for the events, the simple reporting template, and other supporting materials here on Meta. You can share your results directly on Meta, by email, or by filling out this survey. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any questions or comments, strategy2030wikimedia.org

We will be hosting office hours to answer any questions you might have, Thursday October 1 at 14.00 UTC (Google Meet).
