Supporting Indian Wikipedia Program resource distribution

In 2017 - 2018, the Wikimedia Foundation and Google working in close coordination with the Centre for Internet and Society (CIS), Wikimedia India chapter (WMIN) and user groups will pilot a program encouraging Wikipedia communities to create locally relevant and high-quality content in Indian languages. This program (Code name: Project Tiger) will:

(a) Support active and experienced Wikipedia editors through the donation of laptops and stipends for internet access and
(b) Sponsor a language-based contest that aims to address existing Wikipedia content gaps.

The objective of the program is to provide laptops and internet stipends for existing editors who need support to contribute more actively. 50 basic model Acer Chromebooks and Internet stipends for 100 contributors are available for distribution. Provided resources are the sole property of the beneficiaries and should be used for the betterment of the movement.

If you're an active Wikimedian, and interested to receive support from this project, please apply. It will take around 10 minutes of your time, and will ask descriptive questions about your contribution to Indic Wikimedia projects.

Vinci Da moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Vinci Da needs more non-trivial citations from reliable, independent sources to meet subject-specific notability guideline. I've thus moved your article to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can work upon it to bring it to main-space standards.

Judging by you making comments at Kal Ho Naa Ho's PR, I realised you must still be involved with film articles. If you have time, would you like to comment on this PR? It needs at least one insightful review before I take it to FAC for the fourth time (it failed thrice in a row, and I opened a PR to address any potential concern before beginning the FAC). --Kailash29792 (talk) 09:12, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

Hello there, Dwaipayanc. It has been a while. How are things going with you? Good I hope. Judging by your comments at Kal Ho Naa Ho's PR, I've nominated this film article about the life of the Indian freedom fighter Bhagat Singh starring Ajay Devgn as the titular character. As always, I was hoping you would leave some comments at the FAC, that would be very grateful. Do let me know if you wish to do so. Thanks.  — Ssven2 Looking at you, kid 14:36, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Resolved your comments at the FAC, Dwaipayanc. Do let me know if there's anything else. Thanks.  — Ssven2 Looking at you, kid 16:50, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
Can you have a look at the FAC again? I've done it now as you have asked. Like you mentioned, it was a simple misunderstanding.  — Ssven2 Looking at you, kid 08:35, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

A gentle reminder to have another look at the FAC. Hope you get back to me ASAP, Dwaipayanc.  — Ssven2 Looking at you, kid 05:37, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

Peer Review for Raja Harishchandra

Hey. Its great to see you back. Its been very long I guess. :) I have started peer review for India's first feature film Raja Harishchandra here. I am planning to take it to FAC in the near future. However, I dont have any previous experience with FACs so thought of putting PR first. I would appreciate if you can put your comments. - Vivvt (Talk) 07:52, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
