Indic Wikisource Proofreadthon March 2022

What, When, Where, How:
CIS-A2K conducted 4th all India level online Indic Wikisource Proofreadthon in March 2022 on Wikisource to enhance the skills, awareness, and encourage to work on Wikisource of Indian language Wikisource contributors. This was fifteen days of Online Proofreadthon in March 2022, where the participants contested among their language-specific an all-India basis.

We have 12 Indic language base Wikisource but all communities don't have any experience with the online Proofreadthon and never organized such things. So CIS-A2K conducted the all-India level online Proofreadthon to support the community to grow at the same level as others. But every language community has a different quality standard as per its policies. Most of the community is at the infant level compared to others with respect to proofreading ( MOS of layout and check the error of OCR output). So this online edit-thon has helped the community to compare with other qualities and rectify to set the proper Wikisource standard.

We announced the same format for this session. Each community selected the books to be Proofread by the 92 participants. A total of 162 books were proofread in this edition/contest. A total of 12,241 pages and 3592 pages were proofread and validated respectively. Below is the statistics graph of the contest. In this contest total of 12, Indic Wikisource communities participated 12.

Impact:
We organized three Wikisource edit-thon in the year lockdown 2020-22. All are very much contributed by the Indic Wikisource community. This completely online program generated significant contributions to creating their native language resource. The first time, they realised their strength and weakness, what need to do, and what was the drawback.

Learning:

There is only one tool, still in the developing stage contest tools called indic-wscontest. and another wscontest tool not working properly. So it is so difficult to show and compare the running stats and progress of each community.
Before the August 2021 edit-thon, The IndicTechTeam developed/improvised a good contest tool that is workable for the contest. But still, there is some issue we are facing.
1. The stats are not updated spontaneously or in real-time mode ( as other Wikipedia contest tools like [fountain] work), because Wikisource data schema differs from Wikipedia.
Coordination between 12 language communities is too complex in nature. Every community has unique issues regarding each section, like the selection of books, reviewer action, and maintaining the quality text proofread.
Maintaining the quality control of Wikisource was a major concern during the contest time.

Follow-up

From the learning, we conducted the RFC for Indic Wikisource to understand the community pulse. We will be planning to conduct the 5th Indic Wikisource Proofreadthon November 2022 this year.
