Not to forget Srikant Kedia (User:wikiodisha1), an now active Wikipedian in Odia.<div><br></div><div>Here is an interesting story ( sharing with his permission) about his involvement. He started "using Wikipedia" in 2003/04 for "mischievous work"..like adding his name to articles etc.. And his many many accounts were blocked. In 2010 December, he created User:Odisha1 & then started volunteering on English
Wikipedia. Later he discovered Odia WIki and now editing Odia articles & promoting Odia Wikipedia everywhere. He was going around meeting principals of many schools to tell students about Or wiki. In fact, he is the one of the organizers of the upcoming Cuttack Wiki workshop this weekend. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Another new Wikipedian in Malayalam , Sai_K_shanmugam ( <a href="http://ml.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Sai_K_shanmugam">http://ml.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Sai_K_shanmugam</a> ) is a Class 2 student :). Will beat Abhishek_Jacob, who joined in his Class 9 or so. Sai's main interest is in taking and uploading commons. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I trust the school wiki initiatives ( <a href="http://www.schoolwiki.in/">http://www.schoolwiki.in/</a> ) in Kerala must have brought in more young Wikipedians. </div><div><br></div><div>If you know of such interesting young Wikipedians , do share with us .</div>

I must say that one lives and learns in the most unpredictable ways.<br>
This Sunday, at the Bangalore meetup, I learned that Srikanth (who I met<br>
for the first time) is finishing his last two years of school. Srikanth<br>
told me off-list that he is not the youngest Wikipedian in India. For<br>
the record, however, he is the youngest Wikipedian that I know in India.<br>
And it felt pretty amazing....<br>
<br>
Glad that you do what you do Srikanth. The world is a better place with<br>
you editing it!
