Hello, My name is B.M.Harsha. I am new to the mailing list. Wikipedia Bangalore meet-up in National Institute of Advanced Studies, is my biggest inspiration in joining Wikipedia community. Although joining this mailing list is my first step, I will dedicate myself to provide some valuable contributions, to Wikipedia from now on. Thank you.

Wikimedia on Campus
by Swaroop Rao 19 Jan '11

19 Jan '11

Hello all, Its just been a few days since the Tenth Anniversary celebrations got over, and I bet everyone's still tired from that. Anyway, i've seen this Campus Ambassador program on the English Wikipedia, and I was wondering: Is it already in India? If there is already a plan to conduct workshops/talks in colleges, then it would be great if you guys could let me know about it. If such a plan isn't there yet, then probably we could start off. Most engineering colleges in the city start the next semester from february 1 onwards, so we could probably organise events in march or something. I can help in organising such an event in my college (RVCE) and in PESIT. Let me know how this sounds. Best, Swaroop G Rao

[Press] : DNA : "Bangalore celebrates Wikipedia’s 10th birthday" http://www.dnaindia.com/bangalore/report_bangalore-celebrates-wikipedias-10… http://epaper.dnaindia.com/dnabangalore/epaperpdf/16012011/15sunday%20banga… Page 5 Some mistakes : 1) It is National Institute of Advanced Studies , not Indian institute of Advanced Studies 2) Image was of Danese 's visit to Bangalore in December 2010 , not the 10th anniversary celebrations. 3) Moka Pantages and not Moka Pentages 4) Sundar is a Tamil Wikipedian and have been using it for several years.
