Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
So recently a Hyderabad event got created on <a href="http://ten.wikipedia.org" target="_blank">ten.wikipedia.org</a>, and I've received some email about it. However, if you read the page (<a href="http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyderabad,_India" target="_blank">http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyderabad,_India</a>) you can see it doesn't quite seem to be run by Wikimedians, and I'm concerned by some of the content, such "Wikipedia, as an ultimate resource for Online Media/Marketing" and the fact that is seems to be run solely by a media company.<br>
<br>
Does anyone know the editor who created the page or listed contact? I don't want to promote an event that is less about Wikipedia and your work than some random company.<br>
