A month or so ago, I informed you about CIS-A2K's initiative https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CIS-A2K/Train-a-Wikipedian Thanks to everyone who shared their suggestions and feedback.
This month we have further improved the portal and started the training. It is now divided it into 3 parts-
1. *Editors* to become more editors; 2. *Potential admin candidates* to become admins 3. *Admins* to become more skilled and powerful
4 editors have joined this program so far:
1. User:Bodhisattwa (Bengali Wikipedia admin) 2. User:Sayant Mahato (Sanskrit Wikipedia editor, potential admin, Sa WP RFA going on) 3. User:Jim Carter (English Wikipedia editor, Arbitration Committee clerk, wants to become an En WP admin) 4. User:Jnanaranjan sahu (Odia Wikipedia editor, wants to better )
We know about Wikipedia Education Program's courses and Wikipedia:Adopt-a-user, but Indian Wikipedias' environment are different than the English Wikipedia, so we don't want to directly follow English Wikipedia training process right now.
Please share your suggestions/feedback to improve this training program. :)
