So happy to see this blog post and this social media!
Nepali WP has a special place in my heart. :)
FWIW,
I think the first and fourth tweets are the best ones. The second and
third don't fully convey the magnitude of what he's accomplished in the
same way, especially the one about him being in bed (made me wonder: is he
disabled, or worse, just lazy?? even though we know he's neither!!).
In the f/g posts, not sure about the words "bringing exposure" but not
sure how to make it sound better. I do think the second post about his
mother will be perfect for fb.
HTH,
Anna :)

- *t*: “Sitting on a rock, taking a break, or laying down in bed."

- *f/g*: Editors like Ram Prasad Joshi are bringing exposure to some
of the most remote places in the world. "On Wikipedia I write about
geography, history and culture of my surroundings," he says. "I am a Hindu
so I write about the Hindu religion and Hindu culture. I edit and write new
articles on the Sanskrit, Hindi, Fijian, Bhojpuri and Gujrati Wikipedias,
as well as in Nepali. I can introduce my village, my locality and my
culture to the world."

- f/g: What started off as a hobby to forget the loss of his mother,
Ram Joshi went on to contribute over 6,000 edits on Nepali Wikipedia from
his remote village in Nepal - all from his feature phone.
