Hello,
Greetings from CIS-A2K, Banglaore!!
I am happy to share with you the below e-mail from WIRED magazine. I am
glad that the blog 'Indian Language Wikipedia Statistics' by CIS-A2K has
given Indian language Wikipedias good visibility in the English press
during the last month. This is the 6th news-item request we have got
because of the blog [2]. Probably this is the first time ever the Indian
Language Wikipedias received such attentive visibility in the mainstream
English press.
We hope that this visibility will also bring new contributors and viewers
to Indian Language Wikipedias and will supplement WMIN Chapter and
CIS-A2K's efforts in growing the Wikimedia movement in India.
Best,
Vishnu
