Basically there are not many good proofreaders available in the publishing industry - and the demand is high. That was the main reason for starting this course.

Wikipedia is an important source for information. However, the concern here is about correct use of language too. Today we see a lot many errors in Gujarati newspapers, publishing, media and almost everywhere. That is a high concern for us.

If Wiki is going to be an important tool for the next generation, we Have to make sure that it conveys correct language to the society.

I would like to know, whether any auto-correction of spelling etc. are available while editing an article in Wiki ?

Thank you.

Few suggestions (some may be offtopic, sorry for that!)
1. Please follow Wikipedia's guideline for article.
2. Make sure person is logged in before making changes.
3. Please do not change anything other than spelling/grammar etc.
4. If you're that already, donating pictures of 'સાહિત્યકાર' in
various articles from GSP, is good idea. Isn't it? :)

Thanks for good work!
