Hello friends,
This is a link I recommend you to bookmark.
http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Geographical_distribution_of_Indian_Wikipedians
This list is useful for outreach & also whenever someone needs Wiki-Help in
a particular city. It would be great if Wikipedians could update this
list.:)
We have the following completely unrepresented states/UTs:
* Andaman & Nicobar Islands
* Arunachal Pradesh
* Assam
* Chandigarh
* Chhattisgarh
* Dadra, Nagar & Haveli
* Daman & Diu
* Goa
* Himachal Pradesh
* Jammu & Kashmir
* Jharkhand (AngPradesh is in Mumbai)
* Lakshadweep
* Manipur
* Meghalaya
* Mizoram
* Puducherry
* Punjab (oye, ye ki hoya!)
* Nagaland
* Uttar Pradesh
* Uttarakhand
Okay, all you admins, please update your status (Mikey my boy, that means
you too)!
Abroad, we dont have Indic Wikipedians listed for:
* Africa
* Australia
* Asia (other than India)
* Middle East
* North America
* South America
Unless you would like to stay off list, of course that's acceptable too.
May I also request Tinu / list admins to please forward it all the Indic
language & city Wikimedia lists. We need this resource to be as
comprehensible as possible.
Warm regards,
Ashwin Baindur

Hi Guys,I was just wondering if if it would acceptable to all to form a Facebook group or some other form of non-email interaction to help us communicate faster and allow us to contribute more of our time to article write and other related activities than checking our mail.
Im sorry if there is already some channel and i am unaware of it. Please let me know if it is so.
If you agree, please join this interim group created on facebook so that we can discuss and form the appropriate communication channelshttps://www.facebook.com/groups/700702266740422/

Dear Wikimedians,
This is my last day as the CIS-A2K Program Director.
The last 2 years and 3 months have been immensely exciting with tons of
learning and work!
I have loved meeting many Wikimedians, face to face, across the length and
breadth of India. The interactions I had with many of you have been
immensely useful to my learning.
The diversity of our community and the Wikimedia projects in India is so
rich and intricate - I wish I could map out my entire set of impressions to
only give a slight glimpse of it!!
Signing off as the Program Director for now. See you on-wiki, here on the
lists and in real life whenever our paths cross.
A quick update: The next A2K Program Director selection is under process
and hopefully we should all be able to welcome the new incumbent in June,
2015. Until then the A2K team is being internally monitored by CIS
leadership.
Best wishes,
Vishnu

Hi All,Special Attn: Admins.I recently created an Article title "Rochak Inter-College Fest"It's a Hindi Centric event and its 'notable' coz its about our National Language ( One of the many )
Would appreciate if you could weigh in on the deletion discussion page at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Rochak_Inter-… and help me out if you feel i am right.
I feel subjected to Foreign Admin Brutality as this article was simply speedy deleted previousl ytwice without any scope for discussion.And frankly, I find it Hypocritical that Americans can document every sneeze on Wikipedia and still suppress us and we cant write something about an event which celebrates our National Language.Again, I do not say that the article is complete in any manner, the celebrity listing are totally complete, but then isnt that what Wikipedia is about ? Collaborating ?
Hoping for a quick response and positive outlookCheers.
Thanks and regards,Akshay Agrawalkooldudeakshay(a)Yahoo.in+91-9870794699
