[Press] : DNA : &quot;Wikipedia India chapter to become a reality&quot;<div><a href="http://www.dnaindia.com/bangalore/report_wikipedia-india-chapter-to-become-a-reality_1494302">http://www.dnaindia.com/bangalore/report_wikipedia-india-chapter-to-become-a-reality_1494302</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>Please note some of the factual errors with the article :</div><div>1) The 10th anniversary gathering is on Saturday , not Thursday </div><div>2) I will forgive the journo for writing as Tinu Cheriyan instead of Cherian but perhaps not Hari Prasad Nadig as Nadek. </div>
<div>3) The Anniversary venue is NIAS ( National Institute of Advanced studies ) , an institution behind IISc  and not IISc itself. NIAS is related to IISc, I think.</div><div>4) It is Wikimedia India Chapter , NOT Wikipedia India Chapter.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Altough I wanted the article to emphasize on the anniversary event ( to drive people to participate in the event) , somehow the article focus went to chapter, which was still yet to be announced on its formation. </div>
<div><br></div><div>The journalist is not the regular one in DNA newspaper ,whom I am usually in touch with for Wikimedia/Wikipedia news and had to be educated on our history , still he made some serious errors. </div><div>
<br></div><div>I have already communicated the errors to the journalist and he promptly apologized. </div><div><br></div><div>The <u>good thing</u> was that the article with emphasis on chapter came on the exact day of announcement on its formation. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Regards</div><div>Tinu Cherian </div>
