Dhaval,I am Abhishek Joshi the Organizer of Ahmedabad Meetup and first of the thing who told you such a scrap as your are not at the meetup and you don't even know what the all we have done. We had healthy discussion on Wiki Project Gujarat and Infact Anirudh encourage us to write on Gujarati articles. Please before writing such a email verified your self and really its a shameful act to attack someone personally.On Tue, Jan 17, 2012 at 9:53 AM, Anirudh Bhati <anirudhsbh@gmail.com> wrote:

Before writing such a scathing email criticizing an administrator (which is me) who allegedly made this statement, perhaps you should have verified it with me first?
I was making a reference to Wikiproject Gujarat on the English Wikipedia, which has run out of contributors. You can independently confirm it with the others who were present at the meet up.
I encouraged the rest of the participants to contribute to guwp.
It's shameful that you are drawn to make personal attacks on a public platform without checking your facts in the first place.
And I'll really appreciate if you drop the polemics.
Thanks,
Anirudh

If one is not aware of the project activity, despite of presentation made by one of the Gujarati Wikipedian in WikiConference India and from the site statistics/traffic report shared with all Indian WIki Language wikipedia by Wikimedia Foundation's India chapter (Shiju Alex recently shared this), they should have accepted their lack of knowledge and conveyed that they are not aware of what's happening with Gujarati Wikipedia or they are ignorant of its state. It is damaging for the growing community that in such vital events people convey wrong message to the masses.

What else could be an indication of how active this project is? We have almost 22,000 pages on gu.wiki. If anyone need full statistics, please contact me and I will be more than happy to share the same.
