Hi, is the language used in the above article the local language? Regards.

Yes it is. We are working to edit it carefully. Many relevant photos have been uploaded. If you can help on quality, pl do.

Wiki Loves Love (WLL) is an International photography competition of Wikimedia Commons to subject love testimonials happening in the month of February 2019.

The primary goal of the competition is to document love testimonials through human cultural diversity such as monuments, ceremonies, snapshot of tender gesture, and miscellaneous objects used as symbol of love; to illustrate articles in the worldwide free encyclopedia Wikipedia, and other Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) projects. February is around the corner and Wiki Loves Love team invites you to organize and promote WLL19 in your country and join hands with us to celebrate love and document it on Wikimedia Commons. The theme of 2019 is Festivals, ceremonies and celebrations of love.

To organize Wiki Loves Love in your region, sign up at WLL Organizers page. You can also simply support and spread love by helping us translate the commons page in your local language which is open for translation.

The contest starts runs from 1-28 February 2019. Independent from if there is a local contest organised in your country, you can help by making the photo contest Wiki Loves Love more accessible and available to more people in the world by translating the upload wizard, templates and pages to your local language. See for an overview of templates/pages to be translated at our Translations page.

Imagine...The sum of all love!

Dear all: This is in the proposal stage. Seeking your support and ideas. ~~~~

Introduction: It is proposed to seek affiliation for a Wikimedia User Group Goa. Goa is the smallest State in India (population 1.6 million, area 3700 sq km), with an unusual past. It is located on the west coast of India, and has been a Portuguese colony for four and half centuries. Even prior to Portuguese times, it has been a meeting centre for cultures, a trading port, and much more. Hence it has a rich and interesting history. Among other things, it has a very rich archive, whose documents are connected with many parts of the world, including East Africa, West Asia, and Far East Asia. The proposed Wikimedia User Group Goa aims to be an open group, welcoming all languages and people of all cultures, anyone who could add to the content from and about Goa.
