*Hi all,* *Here is the proposed SM for today's blog post regarding Sanskrit Wikipedia. Thanks for reviewing: * https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/06/09/samskrita-bharati-and-sanskrit-wikipe… <goog_1894426471> <goog_1894426471> https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Social_media/Calendar#June_9 Samskrita Bharati and Sanskrit Wikipedia: The journey ahead - *t*: Non-profit Samskrita Baharati hopes to revive the Sanskrit language, one Wikipedia article at a time: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/06/09/samskrita-bharati-and-sanskrit-wikipe… - *t*: What’s an effective way to revive a language? This non-profit believes the answer may lie in Wikipedia: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/06/09/samskrita-bharati-and-sanskrit-wikipe… - *f/g*: In 2011, Sanskrit Wikipedia had only 2,000 articles, most of which were in Hindi. Three years later, it has well over 10,000 articles, thanks largely to the non-profit organization Samskrita Baharati, which aims to revive the pan-Indian language in modern India. Here's how they're using Wikipedia as a powerful tool: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/06/09/samskrita-bharati-and-sanskrit-wikipe… -- Carlos Monterrey Communications Associate Wikimedia Foundation +1.415.839.6885 ext 6881 www.wikimediafoundation.org blog.wikimedia.org
