There will be a Wikipedia workshop at Shri Vithal Education & Research Institute College of Engineering, Pandharpur, India on Aug 27, 2013. The event will be between 10:00 and 17:00 IST (UTC +5:30). About 35 persons are expected to take part. They are all newbies and will be registering as new editors for Wikipedia. The focus will be on Indian language Wikipedias. Possible language Wikipedias they will work on may be Marathi (mr.wiki), Hindi (hi.wiki),English (en.wiki) including commons.wikimedia. The IP address of the lab is 210.212.174.177 and 14.139.114.194. I request a temporary lift on the IP cap for this IP address for the given date and time.
