[Press] : DNA : "Wikipedia India chapter to become a reality"Please note some of the factual errors with the article :1) The 10th anniversary gathering is on Saturday , not Thursday2) I will forgive the journo for writing as Tinu Cheriyan instead of Cherian but perhaps not Hari Prasad Nadig as Nadek.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.4) It is Wikimedia India Chapter , NOT Wikipedia India Chapter.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.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.I have already communicated the errors to the journalist and he promptly apologized.The good thing was that the article with emphasis on chapter came on the exact day of announcement on its formation.RegardsTinu Cherian
