Good Morrow, Good to see this newsletter. Thanks for working on this. I was going to ask for the Meta-Wiki newsletter page. It looks like I have found it myself: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedians_for_Sustainable_Development/News... The page needs ( https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikimedians_for_Sustainable_Dev... some Wiki-copyediting (references, section formatting etc. Let me know if you think I can help here to make changes) #18, #19, in your post, perhaps it would be good to mention about the Task Force, who worked on this: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_India/COVID-19_task_force

Thanks Tito Dutta
