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.
