Gujarat Vishw Kosh Trust content donation to Wikimedia
Gujarat Vishwakosh Trust publishes Gujarati Vishwakosh, an encyclopedia in Gujarati. User:Gazal world has been consistently working with the organisation for more than a year now. He regularly collaborates with them to resolve requests for sources on the resource exchange page of Gujarati Wikipedia, and also for content on Gujarati Wikisource. Previously, he convinced them to release forty-five images under CC BY-SA 4.0. Most of them are of Gujarati authors, whose photographs aren't otherwise available. Fostering the relationship further, he convinced the organisation's officials to donate images in their possession to Wikimedia Commons and generally, these images are quite rare. In January 2019, the trust's president sent an email to OTRS identifying the Wikimedia user account, User:Gujarat Vishw Kosh Trust, to their organisation, and are willing to release all the works uploaded through that under CC BY-SA 4.0. Over the past two months, they've uploaded several images of high encyclopedic value. Some of them are showcased below;
