The reason for delay for response from Marathi Wikipedians is currently no body at mr-wiki is counting article count meter , people seem to be simply busy with routine edits, In fact Marathi Wikipedia anniversary falls on 1st of May and we are 8 years young now :), but still at this moment some how mr-wikipedians are silent about . <br><br>After being with mr-wiki for about five years , am I pleased with where mr -wiki is today, no not at all; effective difference between say en wiki establishment and mr-wiki is just less than two and half year and the difference is too glaring. <br><br>When the whole world is in a make believe situation that tomorrow's every human being is going to be English speaking , for
indic wikipedians swimming against tide is not a easy game. <br> <br>The <b style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">woods</b><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> </span>are lovely, dark and <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">deep</b>.<br>
