Hello
Was there a wiki session in mumbai recently ?? Five (or more) ACC requests
from an IP address have made. And they (one/two of them) had dropped all
the request assuming It was from a single user. So I request all of you to
leave a note at any ACC Tool Admin
http://toolserver.org/~acc/statistics.php?page=Users#Admin (List) or come
to IRC http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=wikipedia-en-accounts during
the requests. Usually they don't drop if the requests are from different
E-mail IDs and it passes other checks. But to avoid confusion it's better
to be cautious.

I don't know whether these requests were made during a wiki event or not.
Just thought It could be an undeclared wiki session by any wikipedian.
Please forward this to other lists :)

*CS Monitor : "Wikipedia’s cultural mission in India"*
http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Global-News/2012/0202/Wikipedia-s-cultural-m…
/After moving to big cities, some preserve their culture through
Wikipedia entries written in regional languages.
When *Subhashish Panigrahi* moved to Bangalore, far from his hometown in
Odisha in eastern India, it was Wikipedia that helped him keep in touch
with his roots. He started writing articles on the arts, literature,
food, and even tourist attractions in his home region on Odia Wikipedia,
“odia” being the local language. Ditto for *Bala Sundara Raman*, from a
southern Indian town, and his contribution to Tamil Wikipedia.
Mr. Panigrahi and Mr. Raman are a small part of a community of Indian
“Wikipedians” who are using the website to document their culture. As
they live in cities and work at jobs that require them to speak English,
Wikipedia keeps them connected to their first language.
Wikipedians, all volunteers, also work to spread technical and
scientific knowledge beyond the English-savvy minority of Internet users
in India. Panigrahi recently joined the Wikimedia Foundation in New
Delhi, the first Wikipedia office outside the United States, set up with
the aim of increasing the quality and quantity of regional language content.
“This is much better than blogging,” says Panigrahi. “Everything is
teamwork, and I have been able to encourage other young Odias to pitch
in with their efforts.”/
