As for starting "Wiki editing" you might want to start yourself. I suggest your userpage on Meta, which if I recall I told you to create a month ago.
Ooooh! Can we please cut out these sort of unconstructive, personal comments. They don't help anyone or anything.
I assure you this was not a personal comment. You might want to look at the Meta talk page for IEP here [1] where admins who first dealt with the issue played a game charades to find out who was actually in-charge of IEP. It has editors from enwp, trying to deduce who Nitika.t is
And with all due respect back, Theo, this thread is about the IEP - not about Nitika's editing prowess. So your comment strikes me as irrelevant - and I'm sorry, but even if I'm in a minority of one, it did come across as personal to me.
I also feel that comments like these have a strong effect on those whom they name thus - they silence them. Specially when they are relatively new to this culture, and even more so, when they are participating in a very difficult and somewhat hostile thread. And they silence others who may have spoken out.
So while applauding Nitika for sharing her views in this space, I also want to urge that you and I not get into a slanging match on this point. Let's agree to disagree, since I doubt we will agree on this.
At the same time, I very much appreciate your efforts to help and nurture Nitika, which did come through in the earlier email too.
Best
