Re: [Wikikn-l (kannada wikipedia)] [Wikimediaindia-l] Newbie biting in Kannada and Tulu Wikipedias
by pavan santhosh 31 Oct '19

31 Oct '19

Hello Asaf, Nice to hear from you. Thanks for making things clear. Kudos to your point on balancing between quality of content and welcoming new Wikipedians. I don't think that they are contradicting tasks. In long run, developing an environment where experienced editors will step in and help newbies understand how to contribute quality content that sticks to the core content policies is, ideally, something that we need to work on. Hope we will find another platform/thread to discuss such steps. Bye for now. Thanks & Regards, Pavan.

Hey Dhanalakshmi KT, This is worth discussing in WP:Village pump as Ashwin sir suggested. I believe discussions in Tulu and Kannada Wikipedia helps to resolve issue better.

by Ananth Subray 19 Aug '19

19 Aug '19

Hello, As a part of Wikipedia in Education at Christ (Deemed to be University), students have created 344 articles form 2015 to 2019. - 2015-16: 121 Articles <https://kn.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%B2%B5%E0%B2%B0%E0%B3%8D%E0%B2%97:%E0%B2%9…> - 2016-17: 117 Articles <https://kn.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%B2%B5%E0%B2%B0%E0%B3%8D%E0%B2%97:%E0%B2%9…> - 2017-18: 87 Articles <https://kn.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%B2%B5%E0%B2%B0%E0%B3%8D%E0%B2%97:%E0%B2%9…> - 2018-19: 19 Articles <https://kn.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%B2%B5%E0%B2%B0%E0%B3%8D%E0%B2%97:%E0%B2%9…> All these articles currently in the main namespace in the category called ವರ್ಗ:ಕ್ರೈಸ್ಟ್ ವಿಶ್ವವಿದ್ಯಾಲಯದ ವಿದ್ಯಾರ್ಥಿಗಳು ಸಂಪಾದಿಸಿದ ಲೇಖನಗಳು <https://kn.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%B2%B5%E0%B2%B0%E0%B3%8D%E0%B2%97:%E0%B2%9…> and many other articles are in the sandbox. Where some of them are qualitative to be moved to the main namespace and the quality of some of the articles in the sandbox are not supposed to be in the main space. In 2019, We have only 19 Articles we did not get any interns to develop the articles. Hence the number of articles in the main namespace are less compared to other years. I request all the community members to join your hands to develop the quality of these articles and make them to Wikipedia standard.
