Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Wikipedia Bangalore Meet-up April 11, 2010

You are more generous than me in forgiving the DNA reporter for saying dictionary for what the whole world knows is an encyclopedia.:) I feel the following misquotes/inaccuracies are somewhat damaging: *para 2 - which make it sound as if I am claiming leadership in India, setting up the office and the chapter, when I'm doing neither - and said so repeatedly. *last para - the fictional quote on 'Malayalam articles having more depth.' I don't recall anyone saying this, let alone me. Media coverage will only intensify with each step: the formation of the chapter, etc etc. The problem with this kind of misreporting is that it makes others wary, and wrongly credits an individual (that too the wrong individual) for a collective effort. Just want to flag this to ensure there is no ill-feeling among us. For now, media attention is focused on me for obvious reasons. But in due course, it would be good for more and more Wikipedians - including those who are active on the proposed chapter formation - to start talking more and more to media, so that many voices represent wikipedia in India. I tried to do this to some extent at the Sun meeting by redirecting questions to Achal, Arun, and others...but they still attributed the stuff to me. There's only so many times I can apologize for what is not my error...if anybody has any thoughts on how this coverage can be improved (apart from letters to editor, which can only be done once so often), do share.
