*Ram Prasad Joshi: Writing Wikipedia from the western hills of Nepal*
- *t*: "0 electricity. 3 hours to nearest road. Over 6,000 edits on Nepali Wikipedia, 1 incredible editor and his phone: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/06/24/writing-wikipedia-from-the-western-hil...
- *t*: "When I started talking about Wikipedia, they had thought I had gone mad," explains editor Ram Prasad Joshi: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/06/24/writing-wikipedia-from-the-western-hil...
- *t*: “Sitting on a rock, taking a break, or laying down in bed." Ram Joshi edits Wikipedia using only his feature phone: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/06/24/writing-wikipedia-from-the-western-hil...
- *t*: Ram Joshi can edit articles in Sanskrit, Hindi, Fijian, Bhojpuri, and Gujarti, all on his feature phone: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/06/24/writing-wikipedia-from-the-western-hil...
- *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." https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/06/24/writing-wikipedia-from-the-western-hil...
- 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. https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/06/24/writing-wikipedia-from-the-western-hil...
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 :)
