Hi Asaf Bartov,
                        Every thing has its own Importance, We need development and progess in each and every area.Adminstrators are first of all supposed to do admin activities as mentioned in this survey bcoz  thats why they have given this tool by community. Newbies can be mentored by each Senior user of the community and it should be done as its the most important thing to do for the growth of any wiki project.But we cann't measure this on any scale however a Wiki project growth may show some part of this.I think we need improvement in each and every area.Creating artices are very easy but its very difficult to preserve them on wikipedia as they got vandalised many times so this most important work go to the hands of Administrators.So Doing admin activites as an Administrator is very important specially in  Indic Wiki projects. In my opinion These both are completely different but both are important and need to be taken care.

Mayur may be correct. But I don't understand what  he is doing in Hindi wiki. :)

Some examples:

* I saw he himself changed his account rights many times (http://hi.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=rights&user=Mayur&page=&year=&month=-1&tagfilter=&hide_review_log=1).
* Using 'abuse filter' excessively, such that blocking or warning a new user who did his/her first edit (http://hi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseLog?title=Special:AbuseLog&wpSearchUser=&wpSearchFilter=0&wpSearchTitle). (even mayurbot invoking abuse filter!)
* Sometimes he even imported commons file to Hindi local (http://hi.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=Image:Cave%2C+from+inside.jpg) !

I don't know why, but I feel that he is requesting almost every (just exaggerating :)) extension available for mediawiki to Hindi Wikipedia and using Wikipedia as his test wiki. If someone can clarify what he is doing there, probably that will be a great help for admins from other wikies :)
