Sat Sri Akaal,

Punjab Edit-a-thon is rocking with 300+ articles in 10 Wikipedias !

100 million people speak Punjabi, and this is a good time to document their history, culture, people and places on Wikipedia. You can find articles about Punjab that are missing in your Wikipedia at

http://recommend.wmflabs.org/

Just type Punjab, Punjabi, Sikhism or any relevant keyword and find missing articles.

You can also identify popular articles in Punjab related categories based on their page views at

http://tools.wmflabs.org/glamtools/treeviews/

Right now, English Wikipedia is leading the tally with 176 articles newly created during this edit-a-thon. Let us do a status update next week to see who is catching up :)

Discussion at Talk:Singla

Hi all,

I opened a Request for Comment at Talk:Singla hoping to get some sources and insight into whether it should be its own article. Any help is very welcome! --Slashme (talk) 11:38, 24 July 2016 (UTC)

Sat Sri Akal,

Please provide your inputs at Talk:Singla to give this article its own independent identity. -- 120.56.169.55 (talk) 11:38, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

• Hello, the top three communities are: English, Malayalam, and Telugu. Malayalam count is not final still. English Wikipedia has a trophy. We'll start discussion soon on future of the trophy. Any individual award was not given or planned still. This should also be a part of the discussion. We'll keep you updated. Regards. --Tito Dutta (talk) 09:30, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

Result

The trophy

Thanks everyone for your tireless work. I am happy to announce that Indian English community has performed really well and won a trophy during Wikiconference India 2016. No individual prize has been given during the edit-a-thon.

Now here are a couple of questions, please discuss on these points:

1. Who'll keep the trophy: Currently I am the custodian, but for sure I am not going to keep it. There are two suggestions. a) the topmost performer during the edit-a-thon will keep it. b) it'll be a rolling trophy. Each top performer (list to be discussed) will have this trophy for 2 weeks or so (time also should be discussed) and send to the next person.
2. Individual award: no individual award was decided or announced during the edit-a-thon. We have got suggestion/request for community-level awards, such as certificate. But nothing has been decided yet.

Please discuss or suggest. --Tito Dutta (talk) 17:04, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

• The topmost performer, I'd say. I hope it can stay in India, where it rightfully belongs. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 17:59, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

• Rolling trophy, I think it's the best option which will make everyone happy who have spent a lot of their time during Punjab edit-a-thon to make English Wikipedia won a trophy. GSS (talk) 05:40, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

• Rolling trophy,Rolling sounds good as I feel everyone did their bit :) FITINDIA (talk) 07:04, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

• Rolling trophy and a certificate to the participants is what I think seems most plausible. Jim Carter 18:29, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

• Topmost performer - VarunFEB2003 ^{I am Offline} 15:06, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

• Comment: Am not sure where the idea to give trophy to topmost performer comes from because it was clearly mentioned before that the Community that adds the most number of words or bytes during this edit-a-thon will be awarded a trophy during WikiConference and no individual award was mentioned so if i knew that the topmost performer going to have the trophy I would create hundreds of more articles I also want to mention one thing that without the help of another topmost performer it was not possible for English Wikipedia to win the trophy because the Malayalam Wikipedia has created a good number of articles (735) so I hope the decision will be fair enough for all those (including me) who spent a lot of their time during Punjab edit-a-thon to help English Wikipedia win a trophy and everyone know how hard it is to create a good number of articles.

• Comment Can the trophy be held in one place, but converted somehow into a digital form that can be more easily transferred as needed? Also, the trophy here looks like a copyrighted sculpture. Is it? If so, I am not sure that it can be shown on wiki. Blue Rasberry (talk) 17:26, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

Agree with Bluerasberry, It will be great if the trophy can be converted into digital form so anyone who wants it can get it by paying the cost including courier charges and the original piece can stay at one place with the coordinators. GSS (talk) 17:33, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
