Wiki Docus

With the Wiki Docu programme, we plan to video document the cultural heritage and oral history of West Bengal. The aim is to make three documentary movies per year. We will choose the subjects from a list prepared by the research team. The pre-production will include researching the topic, creating the script and chalking out the shooting schedule. We will be reaching out to experts on the subject for guidance. Volunteers would be responsible for video shooting. Lastly, for post-production, we would hire video editors, voice-over artists, and an audio studio to complete the film. The films would be in Bengali, and there would be English subtitles.

Few videos shot during our past projects
  • Guru Purnima Celebration at Bhutia Busty Monastery, Darjeeling
  • Bird's eye view of the Semaphore Tower at Parbbatichak
  • Maniyar Math, Rajgir
  • Gouripur House, Kalimpong
  • Buddhist Festival at the Mag-Dhog Yolmowa Monastery, Aloobari

We also plan to create one eBook per documentary. It would contain photographs and literature on the subject. We would print a few copies of the book to showcase our activities during various outreach programmes.

Related Wikipedia, Wikivoyage articles and Wikidata items would also be created/edited. Wikimedia Commons uploads will include the completed documentaries, all video footage, photographs, and eBooks.

We have already started video documentation during our Wiki Exploration Programmes. We learned several things from that experience, which led us to plan and create this project. Some of the challenges that we are trying to address are:

  1. We primarily used mobile phones, which resulted in lower-quality videos with shakes and jerks. We plan to shoot with a video camera and a gimbal to produce high-quality, steady output. Also, the recording time in video cameras is higher, making it possible to document long performances.
  2. The Wiki Exploration Programme mainly documents built heritage. We have created this programme to document cultural heritage like dances, music, festivals, handicrafts and oral history,
  3. Video clips are good references. But we wanted to create a complete story. A research team, video editor and voiceover artists would help us achieve that goal.
  4. The eBooks will complement the documentaries.
  5. We have experienced that many people still don’t like digital books. The printed books would appeal to them more while showcasing our work during outreach programmes.

Proposed subjects (we plan to keep adding to this list and choose three each year):

  1. Chhau dance and mask
  2. Sheherwali community and their food
  3. Leto Gaan
  4. Dokra in Bengal
  5. Public domain folk songs
  6. Rabindra sangeet
  7. Fanus

Wiki Documents Bengal Terracotta

The terracotta temples and mosques of West Bengal are full of beautiful panels. Due to a lack of maintenance and improper conservation, many are getting damaged. In temples, a group of panels together depict various stories. Hence, it is important to document them systematically and serially. Also, as some panels have minute details, the experts need high-quality images to understand and write the text. This project aims to solve these by documenting the terracotta panels systematically and in detail. The history professors in our team will be working on the meaning of the panels and the image description will be written by them. We also plan to create an eBook with images of the temples and the panels with a brief history and the stories depicted in the panels. We would print a few copies of the book to showcase our activities during various outreach programmes.

  •  
    Madangopal Jiu temple of Roychowdhury family at Mellock
  •  
    Terracotta panels at the Radha Krishna temple at Ula Birnagar.
  •  
    Terracotta panels at the Navaratna temple of De para in Joypur.
  •  
    Terracotta panels at the Vishnu Mandir of the Bansberia Royal Estate.
  •  
    Terracotta Panels at Lakshmi Janardan temple at Ganeshpur

We have also been covering the temples under the Wiki Exploration Programme. However, there we try to cover as many heritage structures as possible. As a result, the terracotta panels are not covered in detail. Also, not all the temples covered under Wiki Exploration Program have terracotta panels (but are important due to some other reasons). Under this project, we aim to cover only those temples that have rich terracotta panels, and in detail.

Related Wikipedia, Wikivoyage articles and Wikidata items would also be created/edited. Wikimedia Commons uploads will include all the photographs, video footage, and eBooks.

Wiki Museums

We are already documenting museums as part of our Wiki Exploration Programs. Last year, we covered 16 museums. This year, we plan to cover more museums. But, we plan to do it under a separate project for two reasons. First, during Wiki Exploration, we cover museums along with other places. However, some museums require more dedicated time. Second, there are museums in certain areas where we might not go for a Wiki Exploration. Creating a separate project would help us to solve both of the above.

  •  
    Kapali - Lepcha Bong Gumpa Monastery Museum
  •  
    Buddha in Bhumisparsa Mudra - Bodh Gaya ASI Museum
  •  
    Terracotta Lotus Seal - Nalanda Museum
  •  
    Tibetan English dictionary by Sarat Chandra Das - Himalayan Tibet Museum

We have created a list of museums and plan to keep adding to this list.

  1. Debagram Museum
  2. Chandraketugarh Museum
  3. Vadya Vithika Museum of Musical Instruments
  4. West Bengal State Archaeological Museum
  5. Debalgarh

Wiki Loves Monuments 2024 In India

Like the past few years, the West Bengal Wikimedians User Group plans to organise the Wiki Loves Monuments in India in 2024. Before the competition starts in September, we will be organising two workshops. The workshops would cover Wikimedia Commons basics and how to upload images for Wiki Loves Monuments. As we have noticed an increased amount of mobile photo submissions for the competition in the past, a session dedicated to taking better photos with mobiles would be there.

We would also organise two photo walks to cover undocumented/less documented places in Wikimedia Commons. The photo walks would end with brief workshops on Wikimedia Commons and Wiki Loves Monuments.

  •  
    Queen's Cenotaph in Jaipur, Rajasthan secured 1st place in Wiki Loves Monuments 2023 in India
  •  
    Jantar Mantar in Jaipur, Rajasthan secured 1st place in Wiki Loves Monuments 2022 in India
  •  
    Galimantapa in Chitradurga Fort, Karnataka secured 1st place in Wiki Loves Monuments 2021 in India
  •  
    Daulatabad Prison in Daulatabad Fort, Maharashtra secured 1st place in Wiki Loves Monuments 2020 in India
  •  
    Aguada Fort in North Goa secured 1st place in Wiki Loves Monuments 2019 in India

We plan to video-shoot the workshops and upload them to Wikimedia Commons and YouTube for wider reach. Alongside, we would also create short videos explaining Wiki Loves Monuments, how to participate in the competition, Wikimedia Commons, and how to take better photos for the competition. We would upload these videos to Wikimedia Commons and YouTube, too.

We plan to add two special prizes this year. The first is for the participant with the most Quality Images and the second with the most Featured Pictures. These would encourage participants to go for quality submissions.

WiKomix

We will create a comic book to reach comic book lovers and motivate them to volunteer on various Wikimedia projects. The book will have comics on the activities of Wikimedia, some volunteers of our User Group showcasing their work and why they do it, and the projects of the West Bengal Wikimedians User Group. We plan to publish one such comic book each year to raise awareness and educate people about Wikimedia and the various projects of the user group in a fun way. The around 25-page free comic book will be published digitally in Bengali and English. We will work with professional comic artists and scriptwriters on this project. We will print a few copies for showcasing at various events.

Wiki Loves Your City - Kolkata

 
Arch entrance of a house in Sovabazar
 
Decorative grill of a house about to be demolished in Aurobindo Sarani

The Wiki Loves Your City - Kolkata program plans to document the ever-changing character of Kolkata. The project will work on several lists.

  • The first is the list of heritage buildings published by the local Municipal Government.
  • The second will include buildings of local celebrities not included in the heritage list.
  • The third will have important institutes, organisations and businesses.
  • The fourth list will cover cemeteries and memorials.

We also plan to document any house or a part of it with architecture representing a specific era. E.g., railings, designs, doors, balconies, windows etc.. A lot of these are being demolished in favour of modern houses. As they don’t have heritage tags, most are not documented, and a part of history is lost.

Most of the User Group members working in Wikimedia Commons are from Kolkata. As a result, it would be possible to document the above easily. There would be five meetups to coordinate the work and sort out any difficulties faced by any member. All images uploaded as part of this project will include the full address of the building/memorial for future reference.

Bangla Wikisource workshops and associated activities

We are planning 4-6 comprehensive physical workshops in different parts of West Bengal for people who care more about language and literature. The partners and venues are not confirmed now, but there have been primary promising discussions.

We aim to bring new active contributors to Bengali Wikisource.

Logistics and Infrastructure support for volunteers and project leads

The user group has tried to improve the working infrastructure of community leads and volunteers and will scale it up this year. A Sony ZV-E10 Camera with a kit lens and a Sony SEL11F18 lens will be purchased for shooting the documentaries (Wiki Docus) and other videos for the Wiki Documents Bengal Terracotta project. It will also be used for shooting video tutorials for Wiki Loves Monuments 2024 in India and our workshops. We will buy a Sony NPA-MQZ1K Multi Battery Adapter Kit with four NP-FW50 batteries and four SanDisk Extreme Pro SD UHS I 256GB Card for 4K Video. These will help us shoot videos of long performances and workshops over an hour. For recording live audio we will buy a Rode Wireless Go II Dual Channel Wireless Microphone System. A DJI Ronin SC Gimbal and a tripod will be bought to achieve steady and shake-free videos. Any volunteers in the region will use the camera, lens and the gears in future for similar kinds of video documentation.

A 5 TB Cloud Storage from Google would be bought for a year to store video and audio files during post-production and the storage would be used by other volunteers of the user group for any similar requirements. Adobe Lightroom Subscription for a year will be bought for a volunteer contributing high-quality images to support raw conversion and image processing and quality image submission.
