I was told that the article went through lots of "editor's cut" :)<div>-TC<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Feb 17, 2011 at 8:56 AM, Ashwin Baindur <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ashwin.baindur@gmail.com">ashwin.baindur@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">The Pune chapter gave details of all its multi-facetted incentives for<br>
W10 including Wikimedia Commons,Marathi Wikipedia. article improvement<br>
program etc to Radhika Raj, the reporter of Hindusthan Times but she<br>
chose to highlight Wikipedia for Schools aspect only and it appears<br>
that the Pune guys are doing nothing else. Wikipedia for Schools is<br>
being done by Nikhil Sheth alone not the whole Pune community so to<br>
say, so its unfair to both - Nikhil who has to share credit and the<br>
community which was selectively ignored. Imho there is a trend of<br>
giving too much emphasis on "Wikipedia Warriors" and less on the work<br>
being done which is not healthy.<br>
<br>
I didn't want to actually mention this lest people consider it as a<br>
case of sour grapes, but I felt we needed to view this piece of<br>
publicity from all aspects, not just by being glad at being portrayed<br>
in the press.<br>
