West Bengal Wikimedians User Group held its 2024 Annual General Meeting yesterday

Hello ZI Jony!

We are sending you this message as you have signed up as a general member of the West Bengal Wikimedians User Group. We would like to inform you that the user group has organized its 2024 Annual General Meeting of Representative Members yesterday at the Birla Industrial & Technological Museum, Kolkata. In this meeting, we have adopted revised bylaws based on the feedback and suggestions coming from our members (see changes) and selected 10 new Representative Members based on the objective criteria set in the bylaws with regards to their recent or overall online and offline contributions. A new Representative Committee has also been formed while replacing 3 out of 5 members, who have completed their full term tenure for this responsibility. The participants have also shared learning from the projects taken from previous year and shared plans about new projects which they are willing to take during this year on behalf of the user group. We are also introducing a mentorship program from this year, where willing general members can work together with our program leads in user group programs and learn from each other. So, stay tuned for more excitements!

Regards,
Bodhisattwa

Sub-menu on Edu Newsletter (translation)

Hello, there, I appreciate very much your push for the Edu newsletter, and I am among the first reading them over here (=

Now, would you kindly advise me how I can translate the sub-menues? They are on Education/News#Newsroom (?), and I am lost where they are located as shown as :

• Submit your article
• Publication Guidelines
• Archive
• Subscribe

You know, my largest dream is that your newsletter will reach those college students at w:Waseda Univeirsity in Tokyo, who will someday post on Edu Newsletter.

For your info, the group leader, an alumnae, Eugene Ormandy is active on Diff, updating partnership with Malay and Indonesian students since last Wikimania in Singapore. Great that jawiki will be linked to neighboring language editions. Cheers, -- Omotecho (talk) 08:15, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

Omotecho, you are talking about education navigation template, which is located here, if you are interested to translate, please do so there. I'd like to invite you to express your experience Wikipedia in education. Please submit your article here, read how to publish an article here, or you could subscribe education newsletter here, and This Month in Education newsletter will be delivered to your talk page. Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 10:45, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

Yes, your first link lands to Template:Education_Navigation/ja, and before I check en-ja translation progress, I realized the structure you have built, congratulations !^o^!

I have two ideas:

(1) How about we use template:Navbox at page bottom? I think a navbox will be handy to map Education initiative, and search or what theme you will take up, and users will find where to post their accomplishment.

(2) More pages to internationalize.

Is there anything I can assist you in this purpose? Adding translate tags, or maybe:

• make a subpage for the time being, as I am not sure how many translators are willing to join the effort, or;
• Do we have an option to apply for WMF Community Grants?

As I am a translator, pages I wish to recommend to ja readers are as follows, or those in the education sphere might find familiar.

Maybe ja users are shy to input, but reading is participation. I wish to have <languages> tags added to:

• titlegroup=3 Community -> inline link to: Wikipedia_&_Education_User_Group/About_us

• Wikipedia & Education User Group

• • EduWiki Knowledge Showcase
  • Members
  • Governance
  • Contact us
• titlegroup=4 Newsletter
  • Submit your article -> Newsroom
  • Publication Guidelines -> Publication_Guidelines
  • Archive -> Archive
  • Subscribe -> This_Month_in_Education
• titlegroup=5 Community Support
  • EduWiki Affiliates Meeting
  • EduWiki Live
  • EduWiki Week
  • EduWiki Outreach Collaborators
• Reading Wikipedia in the Classroom
• titlegroup=6 Done main page (/Reading Wikipedia in the Classroom|Overview)

Not done subpages are treasure trove to see the bright possibilities this initiative cultivate each education sphere:

• • Meet our Certified Trainers
  • Modules

• • Training of Trainers
  • Local Implementations
  • For Certified Trainers
    • How to Apply
    • Timeline
    • Reporting Requirements
  • Press/News
    • Publication_Guidelines
    • Newsroom
    • this one is not under EduTeam's region: Subscrbe to This Month in Education

I'd appreciate very much if you would advise me if this topic be moved to any page else, Cheers, and arigatow, -- Omotecho (talk) 04:53, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

@Omotecho:, thanks for your idea, we have so many things to update as we recently connected with EduWiki. You're welcome and feel free to improve. Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 11:37, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, I was thinking, too, that maybe I will sandbox and ask my peers to jump in (=　

Goo luck during the transition, and we are all with you d(^o^)b Omotecho (talk) 11:47, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

Translation

Good day. In future, please split these kind of text when marking pages for translation. Having a huge unit will cause unnecessary mess when only one bullet point is changed. --Min☠︎rax^«¦talk¦» 09:40, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

@Minorax:, your advice well noted. Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 12:06, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

Maximize Wiki Loves Ramadan Contest with Campaign Event

Dear @ZI Jony,

I’m reaching out to you as an ambassador for the new product Campaign Event, developed by the Campaign Team at the Wikimedia Foundation. I was excited to learn that you are organizing a global photo contest on Wiki Loves Ramadan for 2025 in collaboration with Wikimedia Emirates. This is an exciting project, and I would love to hear more about its progress.

Campaign Event (registration tool) is already being used by many organizers to enhance the efficiency of managing registrations and communicating with participants. I want to assure you that using this tool will not change the design of your page or your way of organizing the event. In fact, you will have access to simple tools that will help you better manage registrations and interact more easily with contributors.

I am, of course, available to assist you in creating and implementing the necessary pages for your project. Please let me know how I can support you in this endeavor. Looking forward to your response, and I wish you great success in organizing this event.

Best regards,

Bachounda (WMF) (talk) 15:09, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

Dear Bachounda, thank you for reaching out and for your continued support. I am already familiar with the amazing Campaign Event tool, and we’ve successfully used it in previous events. It’s indeed a great resource for managing registrations and engaging with participants.

I’m confident that your assistance will be invaluable once we kick off the Wiki Loves Ramadan 2025 contest in collaboration with Wikimedia Emirates. I will certainly reach out to you for your kind assistance as we get closer to the start of the event.

Thank you again for offering your help, and I look forward to working with you when the time comes! Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 04:31, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind message @ZI Jony and for sharing your positive experience with the Campaign Event tool. I am delighted to hear that it has already been useful during your previous events. It is great to know that such a resource actively contributes to the success of project management.

I am excited about the upcoming Wiki Loves Ramadan 2025 contest in collaboration with Wikimedia Emirates, and I look forward to helping you in any way I can. Moreover, as volunteer i'm proud to see the project of my friend Mounir the initiator of the contest resurface again.

Looking forward to working closely together as the event approaches.

Best regards,

Expression of Interest in Volunteering for Wiki Loves Ramadan

Hi ZI Jony,

I hope this message finds you well.

I recently came across the Wiki Loves Ramadan initiative, and I am truly inspired by the mission to document and share Islamic cultures and history during Ramadan. It is an exceptional project that not only promotes inclusivity but also enriches knowledge about Islamic traditions on Wikimedia platforms.

Although I understand that the application deadline has passed, I am reaching out to express my keen interest in volunteering as a Data Manager for this initiative. With my experience as the project manager Wikimedia Gombe Network, I believe I could contribute meaningfully to ensuring the project’s data is well-organized, accessible, and impactful.

I am excited about the opportunity to support the Wiki Loves Ramadan team in any way possible. If there is still a need for a Data Manager or any similar role, I would be honored to contribute my skills and dedication to this incredible cause.

Thank you for considering my request. I look forward to the possibility of working with the team to make Wiki Loves Ramadan a resounding success.

Best regards,

Umar Faruk Yunus Umar2z (talk) 23:25, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

@Umar2z, thank you for your interest. Maybe we will call for volunteer again near future. Hope to see you there. Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 06:00, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks 👍 Umar2z (talk) 09:53, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
