Dear All,
Sharing some updates and my observations on Telugu Wikipedia based on June
'13 statistics.
Telugu Wikipedia crosses 53,000 article mark :) Consistently for the past
4 months తెలుగు వికీ | Telugu Wiki community has had more than 35 Active
Editors - a new record. Of these 9 have come on board since March 2013 and
are consistent with their contribution. June month saw, historically
highest ever edits (without bots) in a single month. This clubbed with no
unusual increase in article growth could be seen as a sign of slight
quality improvement, which could be due to the launch of new projects like
Telugu Pramukhulu and Telugu Village project. Or is it too early to say :(
Useful pointers: Try to focus on massive outreach and new editor enrollment
drive for few months and club it with on-Wiki support. Keep motivating long
time editors (4 very active editors gone on vacation in the last 3 months).
More projects...
Game changer: Get the 20 Active Editors in hibernation back on Telugu
Wikipedia. But how? Do throw up some ideas :)

Dear Friends in Hyderabad,
You may already know that the July monthly Telugu Wikipedia meet-up is
being held on July 21, 2012 at Golden Threshold, Nampally. More details

>From CIS-A2K, a Wikipedia training workshop is also being organized in
collaboration with Telugu Jati Nava Nirmana Samstha at Lamkaan. Dr.
Rajasekhar and I will be conducting the training workshop. More details
here [2]. You are welcome to join-in.
I will be visiting Hyderabad during July 21-24, to take part in these
events and other meetings to explore partnerships with Higher Education
institutions. I am sure you already know that Telugu Wikipedia is a focus
language area for CIS-A2K for the next one year. Please see the plan for
Telugu Wikipedia here [3].
I would also be keen to meet Wikipedians either individually or in a group.
If you would like to discuss anything pertaining to CIS-A2K or would like
to discuss any idea/project on Wikipedia, I would be more than glad to meet
you. I can be reached on +91-9845207308. Please feel free to call me or
