Aloha!

My name is Victor Grigas, I’m a storyteller at the Wikimedia Foundation working on collecting stories of Indian Wikipedians for the 2011 fundraiser.

I found your name on this list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedians_in_Bangalore

I’ll be traveling to India from the 12th -20th of November to conduct face to face interviews with Indian Wikipedians. I’ll be in Bangalore from November 12-15 and in Mumbai for WikiConference India from November 17 - 20.

If you are interested, and would like to schedule an interview with me, please mark your time and place of interview on this page: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising_2011/Indiastorytelling or send me an email (vgrigas@wikimedia.org) with any questions or concerns you may have.

If you feel that you’d like to talk to me, but wont be able to make it to either of these locations and would like to schedule a Skype or Telephone interview, please email me at vgrigas@wikimedia.org

Cheers, Victor

PS If you know of anyone with whom I should speak please let me know :)

Disambiguation link notification for December 13
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Bengaluru International Film Festival 2012 Movies List, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Asian, Short Sharp Shock and Soul Kitchen (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Proposed deletion of List of Movies Screened in 7th Bengaluru International Film Festival 2014
Hello, Omshivaprakash. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, List of Movies Screened in 7th Bengaluru International Film Festival 2014, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:


 * 1) edit the page
 * 2) remove the text that looks like this:
 * 3) save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. —Swpbtalk 15:12, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Dear Swpb, The article is meant to help listing all the movies screened in the biggest international film festival happening in my city. This article also helps understanding and linking to specific Movies and learn quickly about their directors etc. Also note that the movies that gets screened have importance based on the subject, country, language, culture, heritage and more. Many times, we never get to find such movies having a reference page on wikipedia and I find this as an opportunity to build such pages as and when I find more time to do some research on them. Similarly, many other wikipedians might drop by and contribute as well.  I will continue to try making this article more useful for wiki than just leaving it here as a list of movies. My  another concern is that the international film festival websites get revamped every year and I never get to find the data related to movies screened in coming years and its a big loss. This page even addresses the need to retain such data. Hope I have tried my best to collate all the need for the article. Please guide me what else I could to better to improve this article instead of just nominating the page for deletion. Thank you very much taking time to review the article though.

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 11:27, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
