4. <br><br>WOW! We all know how much work goes not only into writing the GA but going through the GA review process itself is backbreaking. Hats-off to you, <font style="" class="ecxApple-style-span" color="#232323"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User%3aAbhilasha369" target="_blank">User:Abhilasha369</a>!<br><br>Special mention Hisham/Nitika/Shiju - this proves you are on top of your task! There was a lot of flack at the time of the copyright issue, now its only fair that you get your fair share of appreciation.<br></font><br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">From: ntandon@wikimedia.org<br>Date: Tue, 27 Sep 2011 13:09:13 +0530<br>To: wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org<br>Subject: [Wikimediaindia-l] Wikipedia India Education Program Updates<br><br>

We conducted over 11 sessions in different classes to address the issue of copyright violations to make sure that students understand the gravity of this issue. We visited each class and spoke with the students that they simply cannot copy-paste on wikipedia and have also been warned about the consequences of doing so. One of the important learning from this is that going forward we need to include the issue of copyvio in in-class editing sessions. In the next semester, we shall take all precautionary steps and make sure that the students have been taught in detail about copyvios so that we face less problems like this going forward.</font></div></div></blockquote><blockquote><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div><font class="ecxApple-style-span" color="#232323"><br></font></div><div><font class="ecxApple-style-span" color="#232323">2. We conducted an open wikipedia day at the SSE where we were available on campus the whole day and students could reach out to us for any fundamental or technical wiki editing problems that they would have - more like a help desk throughout the day. Unfortunately, it didn't work as well as we had expected it to as not too many students came by with their problems. We'll have to think of more innovate ways of conducting such open days - any ideas/suggestions are more than welcome.</font></div><div><font class="ecxApple-style-span" color="#232323"><br></font></div></div></blockquote><blockquote><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div><font class="ecxApple-style-span" color="#232323">3. We now have a bigger and stronger army of Campus Ambassadors & Online Ambassadors to support the students enrolled in the India Educational Program. 17 more Campus Ambassadors and 26 new Online Ambassadors are now onboard and will be helping students write better articles. I'll be sharing an update on this shortly.</font></div></div></blockquote><div><font class="ecxApple-style-span" color="#232323"><br></font></div><font class="ecxApple-style-span" color="#232323">4. The so famous Robinson Crusoe Economy Article: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robinson_Crusoe_Economy" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robinson_Crusoe_Economy</a> written by one of the students User:Abhilasha369: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User%3aAbhilasha369" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Abhilasha369</a> is now a '<b>Good Article</b>' on Wikipedia. This is an achievement for the program!!! I believe that this is just the beginning and we'll hopefully see many more GAs and FAs emerging out of the program.<br><br></font><blockquote><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div><font class="ecxApple-style-span" color="#232323">5.
