Research Needs Assessment for Indian Language Wikimedia (ILW) Projects[edit]

Dear All,

The Access to Knowledge (A2K) team at CIS has been engaged with work on research on Indian language Wikimedia projects as part of the APG since 2019. This year, following up on our learnings from work so far, we are undertaking a needs assessment exercise to understand a) the awareness about research within Indian language Wikimedia communities, and identify existing projects if any, and b) to gather community inputs on knowledge gaps and priority areas of focus, and the role of research in addressing the same.

We would therefore request interested community members to respond to the needs assessment questionnaire here:

Please respond in any Indian language as suitable. The deadline for this exercise is February 20, 2021. For any queries do write to us on the CIS-A2K research talk page here MediaWiki message delivery (আলাপ) ১৭:০৮, ৩ ফেব্রুয়ারি ২০২১ (ইউটিসি)

Subhas Chandra Bose[edit]

23 January 2022 was the 125th birth anniversary of Indian freedom fighter Subhas Chandra Bose. Subhas Chandra Bose is an important personality in both Indian history and culture and and integral part of Bengali culture. On this occasion West Bengal Wikimedians conducted a series of Wikimedia events and activities between 23 January 2021 and 23 January 2022. The objectives of the Wiki-events and programs were to improve free content on different Wikimedia projects related to Subhas Chandra Bose, his life, and his work.

On Bangla Wikisource, a year-long proofread campaign was orgniased. 11 Wikimedians from Bangladesh and India participated, and worked on 12 Bangla books, and one video, and one audio.

On Wikimedia Commons 720 files were uploaded− of which there were 59 images, 8 videos, and 554 audio files. We have uploaded a few historically important media files such as Subhas Chandra Bose speech for the Consolidation of Greater East Asia (originally aired 8 November 1983), Category:Subhas Chandra Bose papers (government documents and court judgements which are public domain)

We have done a few edits on Wikidata on related items. On Wikipedia we could not work much on the subject.
