Hi all,
Yesterday Michael, Amir, and I were looking at the list of contributors to
the Khowar test-Wikipedia on Incubator, which was recently approved.
Two of the three most active editors are blocked on enwiki as sockpuppets
of the same person. Therefore I made a checkuser request and the result
(given by steward user:Matiia) is that Rachitrali, Zaheeruddin25 and Mirajbi
are all the same person.
I closed the phabricator request as it means there is only one regular
contributor, not three..

> Sir, how your check user has confirmed that all the three accounts belong to me. I am using only one account namely Rachitrali, if the other users are using the same IP address, this is not my fault, more than 100 and 1000 users are using one IP address, due to same IP address one can not be blamed that he is using 100 or 1000 accounts. I am very shocked to hear that, please block the other two users who are using multiple accounts, but i am using my personal account Rachitrali, I have no concern with other accounst. I assure you sir that I am arranging Khowar Workshops, seminars and gathering regarding edit drive in khowar wikipedia, please restore the Phabricator task to its original position, i assure you that I and other users will complete the task within one month. This is not fair that after approval of Khowar Wikipedia you revered the Phabricator task back, this is embarrasing and discrimination, why the LangCom checked earlier. Please check these thing on daily basis and make sure that in future that one can not be banned on the basis of same IP address, more editors are using same IP address but thier accounts are different.

>> Respected sir, as you know that I am test admin and tirelessly working since 2008 for creating wikipedia in khowar, i have contributed more than 7000 edits in this project, i have translated most used interface msgs for this project. We are using Internet cafe to write articles for this project, if somebody is also using the same IP and contributing in khowar wiki project, then this is not my fault. On the basis of one IP address one project can not be declined after its approval, this is not fair, this is discrimination with the khowar community. The langcom to check these things before approval and before Phabricator task, we have already received many congratulations messeges for the approval of this project. This is embarrassing for the community. After approval we have issued to press release. I request you all to restore the phabricator task to its original position subject to the condition that the khowar community contribute more articles in khowar language within one month and complete the task, I assure you sir, trust me and give one month time to engage more regular contributors to complete the task. Your kind cooperation will be highly be appreciated. Please restore the Phabricator Task to its original position subject to condition that the Khowar Community shall contribute more ariticles and complete the task within one month Sharp. cheers and Regards

Hullo everyone.
By verbal request of Milos speaking on behalf of the committee (with
Michael confirming this was agreed at the meeting), I have added Satdeep
and MF-Warburg as list administrators.
Thanks for volunteering!
