A cup of coffee for you!

Thanks for representing the Wikimedia community in the article in The Hindu. Have you given any other interviews or been featured in any other journalism? If you have, can you share please? Blue Rasberry (talk) 20:37, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

There was another event last year but the reporting had serious errors - ok not ok - (6000 papers! what!) Shyamal (talk) 02:56, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

@Bluerasberry: - apparently there was another piece here - I suppose one of the things that interested them really was the arbcom case associated with IIPM - see this. Shyamal (talk) 15:39, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks I will look this over. Blue Rasberry (talk) 15:34, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

Newsletter

Thanks Shyamal! Yeah, I figured I'd try to help push the project back onto people's front burner again; we seem to have lost group momentum at the moment. Now I have to figure out how to use the new mass message service; it's a bit more complicated than the old system! :P I like your idea, and I think it would be useful to other projects as well. Perhaps we can request something like this from the programmers? Too bad Snowman isn't still around; this would have been right up his alley! MeegsC (talk) 19:14, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

editing bird pages

I think I got the Grey-breasted Prinia to a decent shape. I am just beginning to understand how to get other material and if I get any on this one, I will keep adding. For now there is little I could find at the usual sources other than listings in various check lists. Let me know your comments when you can.

Next I thought I will work on Velvet-fronted Nuthatch from your pending list, a bird we have enjoyed every time we have sighted it! btw, why is there a smiley icon next to few of the names (ex Sarus Crane) ? Well edited?

Also, what was the number next to the birds? You said it was how many times it was searched... was that per day? and it had something to do with bird spot...right?

thanks. Nanda ramesh (talk) 06:44, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

@Nanda ramesh: - several things to search for - Pittie's bibliography Internet Archive Biodiversity Heritage Library Google Scholar. Yes, that list is a personal target list, the smiley next to Sarus Crane shows that I am happy with it. The list was created by taking all the reports from BirdSpot and then sorting them from the most often reported to the least often reported. The number in brackets was the number of reports from across the country. So it is roughly in order of common to rare. Of course, one has to break that order to improve some of the more enigmatic species (like the Jerdon's courser). Shyamal (talk) 07:10, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
