<div>Hi Asaf Bartov,</div>
<div> Every thing has its own Importance,
We need development and progess in each and every
area.Adminstrators are first of all supposed to do admin
activities as mentioned in this survey bcoz thats why they have
given this tool by community. Newbies can be mentored by each
Senior user of the community and it should be done as its the
most important thing to do for the growth of any wiki
project.But we cann't measure this on any scale however a Wiki
project growth may show some part of this.I think we need
improvement in each and every area.Creating artices are very
easy but its very difficult to preserve them on wikipedia as
they got vandalised many times so this most important work go to
the hands of Administrators.So Doing admin activites as
an Administrator is very important specially in Indic Wiki
projects. In my opinion These both are completely different but
both are important and need to be taken care.</div>

Mayur may be correct. But I don't understand what he is doing in
Hindi wiki. :)<br>
<br>
Some examples:<br>
<br>
* I saw he himself changed his account rights many times
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://hi.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=rights&user=Mayur&page=&year=&month=-1&tagfilter=&hide_review_log=1">http://hi.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=rights&user=Mayur&page=&year=&month=-1&tagfilter=&hide_review_log=1</a>).<br>
* Using 'abuse filter' excessively, such that blocking or warning a
new user who did his/her first edit
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://hi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseLog?title=Special:AbuseLog&wpSearchUser=&wpSearchFilter=0&wpSearchTitle">http://hi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseLog?title=Special:AbuseLog&wpSearchUser=&wpSearchFilter=0&wpSearchTitle</a>).
(even mayurbot invoking abuse filter!)<br>
* Sometimes he even imported commons file to Hindi local
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://hi.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=Image:Cave%2C+from+inside.jpg">http://hi.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=Image:Cave%2C+from+inside.jpg</a>)
!<br>
<br>
I don't know why, but I feel that he is requesting almost every
(just exaggerating :)) extension available for mediawiki to Hindi
Wikipedia and using Wikipedia as his test wiki. If someone can
clarify what he is doing there, probably that will be a great help
for admins from other wikies :)<br>
