Strengthening Existing Community with WikiTungi edit

Bhubaneswar Wikimedians training fellow Wikimedian during the meetup

Since Wikipedia is edited by people around the world, the language community is scattered across the globe. It may not always be possible to meet and discuss Wikimedia projects. A city based community group such as WikiTungi not only helps in collaborating with local Wikimedians, but also helps identify potential Wikimedians.

The Odia community's WikiTungi is a city based Wikipedia community based in two cities, Puri and Bhubaneswar. CIS-A2K has helped the community members organise events and regular meetups for the community Wikimedians. In addition to providing advanced training sessions for existing Wikimedians, ten Wikimedians in Bhubaneswar and 15 Wikimedians in Puri, WikiTungi meetups also train new individuals who attend the meetups. While Wikimedians in Puri conduct meetups bi-monthly, Bhubaneswar Wikimedians meet once a month. In every meetup, Wikimedians exchange their resources with each other, helping address their doubts and queries regarding their problems and projects. Tungi also helps marking the presence of the Wikimedia movement in the particular area, and also attracts individuals to take part in it.

Image-A-Thon

Image-a-thon is an event to add images into the Odia Wikipedia articles that don't have images. It is a practice for the quality improvement in Odia Wikipedia. A large event of Image-A-thon is also planned for flourishing Odia Wikipedia with good quality images,and also to have "at least one image in one article" The phase-1 of Image-A-Thon was organized in Puri to add images of Puri city into Commons and use those images in Wikipedia articles. In the first phase almost 7 Wikimedians took part, and 150 images were added into Odia Wikipedia articles.

Advance Wikipedia Training

Advance Wikipedia Training is the second step of training for Wikipedians or previous event participants to learn tools that can help them contribute to Wikipedia at a higher skill level. More than an orientation, an advanced training session also helps identify Wikipedians' strength and areas of interest. The training sessions and tools are often provided by experienced Wikipedians participated in the WikiTungi. Some community members like Gyan Sahu helps the Wikipedians to learn the use of the tools which is helpful in training new Wikimedians how to organise events, meetups, and other activities.

Wikidata

Odia Wikipedia was one of the first four Wikipedias to have the article place holder extension. Odia Wikimedians have been devoted to conducting Wikidata lable-a-thon and translation to increase the presence of Odia language in Wikidata and to improve and enable the article place holder function in Odia Wikipedia. Since August 2016, a series of Wikidata lable translation activities have been carried out in collaboration with Wikimedians from Puri.

Sambalpur University workshop edit

Sambalpur University workshop-5

An orientation and workshop event was initiated by the Odia Wikipedian community members was for students of Computer Science and Application Department and Odia Department at Sambalpur University. The 57 participants, including 5 faculty members, consist of 30 male and 27 female participants. The event was the first workshop held in Sambalpur University and the second one in Western Odisha after three years. Additionally, considering the University has 196 colleges under its affiliation in seven different districts of Western Odisha, this event was an important step to spread the awareness about Wikipedia movement and establish networks in the region.

Plans ahead
  • Forming a WikiTungi in Sambalpur, which will connect the students of Sambalpur University with the local Wikimedians.
  • Quarterly follow-ups by CIS-A2K and Odia Wikipedia community members to provide advanced training and answer queries.

Ratha Yatra GLAM edit

The process of making wheel for the Rath or the Chariot, Video by Jagannath Dora

Ratha Yatra GLAM is an activity carried out by WikiTungi Puri, where Wikimedians from Puri document the process of chariot for 22 days during the Ratha Yathra Festival in the city. Chariot making is a major part of this centuries-old festival which has few photos and video documentation on open access platforms. The Wikimedians spent over three weeks to document the important processes of this ancient festival at Rakha Khala where the chariots are made.
This is the first GLAM activity conducted by Odia Wikipedians. Due to uncontrollable issues, the project was initially delayed by 15 days. The project started will likely take a year to be completed and will be one of the largest Open Knowledge resources available on Jagannath culture. As a follow-up, a month-long edit-a-thon was organised where participants improved and created 60 articles on Odia Wikipedia.
