[Wikimediaindia-l] wikipedia.org.in

[RKT]

May I suggest that Wikipedians should not succumb to the terms as are being
dictated. Instead, Wikipedians can go to register with www.wikipedia.org.in
<http://www.wikipedia.org.in/>  as RBI has official site with www.rbi.org.in
<http://www.rbi.org.in/> 

 

Pls check.

He is interested in making wikipedia.in <http://wikipedia.in/>   as homepage
for indian language wikipedias.
But his condition is that his name must be there in that page. Is it
possible for us to give the credit on that page ?


I don't think Wikipedians will accept that idea. If that is the case, it is
better to go with the current system.

Hi Shiju,

wikipedia.in is owned by Jitendra Jain. but he has not put up anything.

I guess, finding an indic language wikipedia is difficult from
http://wikipedia.org/ from a users perspective.

Thanks,

I don't think http://wikipedia.in/ is registered by any one. Kindly verify.


But, do we actullay require this site? What is its purpose?  Is it just for
listing link to Indic languages wikis. 



NOTE: Some Indic languages like Tamil, Bengali, and Urdu are the official
languages in more than one country.
