Oh, I am under no apprehensions about ownership
of WikiProject India. I
am only a volunteer who tends to it as SIG chair on being requested by some
colleagues. So it is my something in my care - a trust belonging to the
people in which I look after something which belongs to all.
Ownership here can only mean the feeling that Wikipedia "belongs" to all
of us and because of that it is inherently good and desirable of us to work
for it - not that I "own" this or that article. When you "own"
something
you care about it and work for it. I am sure that is what is meant by
Nitika.
Warm regards,
Ashwin Baindur

Nitika,
The term ownership doesn't exist here.
Yes, while I welcome BPositive and hope that he helps us increase the
Quality of Indian articles,
I really don't like this Ownership thing people talk about.
