Dhaval,
I am Abhishek Joshi the Organizer of Ahmedabad Meetup and first of the
thing who told you such a scrap as your are not at the meetup and you don't
even know what the all we have done. We had healthy discussion on Wiki
Project Gujarat and Infact Anirudh encourage us to write on Gujarati
articles. Please before writing such a email verified your self and really
its a shameful act to attack someone personally.

Dhaval,
Before writing such a scathing email criticizing an administrator (which
is me) who allegedly made this statement, perhaps you should have verified
it with me first?
I was making a reference to Wikiproject Gujarat on the English Wikipedia,
which has run out of contributors. You can independently confirm it with
the others who were present at the meet up.
I encouraged the rest of the participants to contribute to guwp.
It's shameful that you are drawn to make personal attacks on a public
platform without checking your facts in the first place.
And I'll really appreciate if you drop the polemics.
Thanks,
Anirudh

Hi All,
I have come to know a surprising fact that in the Wiki meetup recently
held in
Ahmedabad, while discussing about Gujarati Wikipedia, one of the
administrators conveyed that Gujarati project is almost inactive or dead
(in gujarati વિકિપીડિયા ગુજરાતી પ્રોજેક્ટ લગભગ બંધ છે.).
This is very shameful for anybody to convey wrong message. If one is not
aware of
the project activity, despite of presentation made by one of the
Gujarati Wikipedian in WikiConference India and from the site
statistics/traffic report shared with all Indian WIki Language wikipedia by
Wikimedia Foundation's India chapter (Shiju Alex recently shared this),
they should have accepted their lack of knowledge and conveyed that they
are not aware of what's happening with Gujarati Wikipedia or they are
ignorant of its state. It is damaging for the growing community that in
such vital events people convey wrong message to the masses.
I hope some of the attendess of the meetup would read this and correct
their
mistake by spreading the word of Gujarati WIkipedia and its current
state in successive meetups as their moral duty to pay back the debt.
This email is not at all intended to hurt anyone, but just to make
everyone aware
that there has never been a single day, including Gujarati
New Year day or Uttarayan, when gu.wiki would have fewer than 50 edits.
What else could be an indication of how active this project is? We have
almost 22,000 pages on gu.wiki. If anyone need full statistics, please
contact me and I will be more than happy to share the same.
Regards,
Dhaval
