Hi everyone, Two new admins have been added to this list. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Prashanthns http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Logicwiki (Srikanth L) Here's a thanks to these two long time Wikipedians and highly respected contributors for expressing willingness to take up admin work on the list. Also, starting today, the description of the list would read "Wikimedia India Community list" as that seems more appropriate. Cheers, -- Hari Prasad Nadig <http://hpnadig.net>http://twitter.com/hpnadig http://flickr.com/hpnadig

This is very good initiative. Thanks Hari/ Anirudh. The more merrier... IMHO, just "Wikimedia India" would have been more appropriate. ( No offence to chapter or community) Oh wait, what is in a name ? :D - Tinu Cherian On Sun, Feb 20, 2011 at 4:24 PM, Gautam John <gautam(a)prathambooks.org>wrote;wrote:

Also, Since their user pages do not elaborate on the work they've been doing locally (other than English Wikipedia), I really ought to say few words about these two prolific editors. User:Prashanthns was *the force* behind first ever WikiAcademy in Karnataka. He's a doctor, researcher (on public health) and worked for several years at the grass-root level in B R Hills, Karnataka. There's a lot more to be told about all the good work he's done for the Indian community over 6 years, but I'll stop here. User:Logicwiki as you all know has put phenomenal efforts behind meetups in Chennai, Wiki 10 Chennai and Wiki 10 in Bengaluru. Both are great contributors to the Indian community.

Hi, Some people mistook the pun I used in my previous email. Just to clarify, Prashanth and Srikanth are excellent choices for this and I used the term "overlords" in the same sense as admins referring to themselves self-deprecatingly as "the cabal" and such. Hope it clarifies. :) - Sundar "That language is an instrument of human reason, and not merely a medium for the expression of thought, is a truth generally admitted." - George Boole, quoted in Iverson's Turing Award Lecture

Should be current with pop culture or stay away from such memes, I suppose. :P - Sundar "That language is an instrument of human reason, and not merely a medium for the expression of thought, is a truth generally admitted." - George Boole, quoted in Iverson's Turing Award Lecture ----- Original Message ---- > From: Gautam John <gautam(a)prathambooks.org> > To: Wikimedia India Community list <wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> > Cc: BalaSundaraRaman <sundarbecse(a)yahoo.com> > Sent: Tue, February 22, 2011 1:04:59 PM > Subject: Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] New admins on the list > > On 22 February 2011 13:03, BalaSundaraRaman <sundarbecse(a)yahoo.com> wrote: > > > Some people mistook the pun I used in my previous email. >

I think it was appropriate, we should have some doses of humor every now and then and didn't think he meant any harm . The scarcasm tag was enough (atleast for me) to know that Bala was joking :P

I think we should move on and safely assume in this instance that Sundar meant absolutely no scorn :) (and +1 for more humour on this list) On Tuesday 22 February 2011 03:36 PM, Gerard Meijssen wrote:
