Question

Are accompanying males allowed? Yogesh Khandke (talk) 17:51, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Hie Yogesh, Men are not allowed here. But there is a workshop in Pune on Sunday, 28th October which allows men accompanying. Link here: WikiWomenDay — Preceding unsigned comment added by Krutikaa (talk • contribs) 11:41, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

Accompanying males are not allowed? If that info is valid then it's sexist and unwise, i bet many attending women will agree too. -XFACT 11:29, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

Too bad. I know about the Pune workshop and I know that they allow males to accompany females, therefore I tried my luck here, 28 is tomorrow, too close, thanks nevertheless. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 15:50, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

I have made this offer once forgive me for repeating it, if you need faculty I'll make myself available, then I can bring Gitanjali along. Yogesh Khandke (talk)

Accompanying men are strictly not allowed at this workshop and there is no need for more volunteers right now. Should there be a need for more volunteers, an open call for volunteers will be made. Thank you Krutikaa (talk) 05:40, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

oh thanks! Yogesh Khandke (talk) 08:25, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

Grammar sticks in the throat: This Workshop will be hosted by Women's from Mumbai Wikipedia Community, shouldn't it be "...women members of Mumbai's Wikipedia Community"? Yogesh Khandke (talk) 14:35, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

Or 'This workshop will be hosted by women from Mumbai Wikipedia Community' also does not seem too bad. -XFACT 11:29, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

Hello Yogesh, nice to meet a fellow Grammar Nazi. The text you read was a work in progress. I copy-edited the entire page later. Rohini (talk) 18:11, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

If it is in sarcasm, it has gone completely tangential. "Women's"! Ouch, and another fellow says "Women" is plural. Ugh! Should we have Wikipedia for this dialect of English? Hello back Rohini, less than 500 edits in 6 years, Wikipedia needs more. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 12:52, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Hello ! Please clarify if ladies whose names appear under the heading, "Interested but not sure", can still attend the meeting PS don't have a Facebook or Twitter account Artiganesh (talk) 09:58, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Semi protection of page

I asked another user to request protection for the project page at the WP:RPP today following massive vandalism. The page is semi-protected till November 5. Rohini (talk) 18:00, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Request of training material

Kudos to the workshop committee. I'm from Malaysia and working in an agriculture institution. I have no opportunity to attend your workshop but I'm interested in the content. If there are any handouts or presentation slides that you used during the training, would it be possible that you make them available in Wikimedia Commons and share with all Wikipedians? Thanks. --MKwek (talk) 02:08, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi MKwek, a very thanks first :) We did more of hand on editing stuff's and less of presentation slides. We made small groups of 5-7 people, with a volunteer leading it. This made things easier. I'll still find out some slides we used and get back to you. Thanks! -- ♪Karthik♫ ♪Nadar♫ 16:49, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi MKwek, we did not use any reference material or hand out such material at the workshop. However, I did recommend the participants to read WP:Tutorials and visit bookshelf.wikimedia.org for help on editing and contributing to Wikipedia. Rohini (talk) 18:21, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
