Wikipedia:Ambassadors/Editing Sundays

How it works

Editing Sundays are casual events where Wikipedia Campus Ambassadors in Pune, India and others collaborate to improve important but neglected Wikipedia articles. Here's your opportunity to try your hand at editing in a safe, friendly environment!

The next editing Sunday is on 7th August 2011 from 9AM IST onwards

The core time for Editing Sunday is from 9AM-12PM IST and may continue for the rest of the Sunday, as the case may be. Many people contribute before or after that window, if that particular time period isn't convenient. Work on the article may continue for the rest of the week or even beyond that if the Campus Ambassadors are interested.

We'll be chatting while we work, too, so it's a great chance to meet experienced editors and get help. Join the chat at #wikipedia-en-ambassadors ^connect.

The concept of Editing Sundays has been adapted from the highly successful Editing Fridays model which was conceived and implemented by Phoebe Ayers, Sage Ross and Alex Stinson.

• I am going to actual Shinde Chatri Place to get photographs, if someone interested in joining me, Please let me know. AbhiSuryawanshi (talk)
• Here is a CC licensed image for Shinde Chhatri which we can use in the article. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are some more CC licensed images which can be used but can someone who is good with Photoshop edit out the timestamps in the photo? Srikeit 04:19, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

17th July 2011

Pune Municipal Corporation (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Rationale

Unreferenced and image-less article requiring clean-up according to Wiki-standards. Credible external sources for references for existing content and expanding the article can be easily found. --Srikeit 05:58, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

• I think the PMC website would be a great primary source for references. --Srikeit 05:58, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
• The article for the Municipal Corporation of Delhi has a basic structure to it already (even though on the whole it needs much improvement). I think we could look to model the PMC article after that. Pjthepiano (talk) 04:00, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
• The Corporation of Cochin article is a good model of the kind of article structure we're looking for. Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike has pretty decent structure as well. --Srikeit 04:45, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
