A great news to share with people from Indian Wikipedia community: <br>The Kannada Wikipedia has crossed the 9000 articles mark recently. What is more encouraging though is the voluntary and increasing participation by some well known writers, scientists on Wikipedia as editors. <br>
<br>Kannada Wiktionary has also improved extensively now counting at about 70,771 dictionary entries.<br> All credits go to the passionate Kannada speaking population active on the Internet constantly striving to see more Kannada in the digital world. <br>
