Hi
Yesterday we had a Wikipedia Academy in Bangalore.
Thanks to Arunram for organizing the Wikipedia Academy in Bangalore.
*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Academy/India/2010/Bangalore1*
There are few issues to be resolved before next Wikipedia Academy for
sanskrit
- Support for search in Sanskrit in sa.Wikipedia-- I think Malayalam and
Marathi wikipedians can help
- Create Sanskrit Wikipedia logo -- it has english Wikipedia logo now. (

Hi all,
I came across this wonderful mobile app Newshunt (www.newshunt.com). Can we
talk to them to see if its feasible for them to put a wiki article daily
This would take readership of indic wikipedia to a new level.

Hello All,
Here is a brief statistical analysis of some of the major Indic
language wikipedias for the month of 2009 December.
http://shijualexonline.googlepages.com/2009_december_en.pdf
The data for this report is taken from the statistical analysis (of
all the WikiMedia foundation wikis) prepared and maintained by Erik
Zachte (Website: http://infodisiac.com/). The statistics is available
at http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/Sitemap.htm. Special thanks to Erik
for all the support he has extended while I was compiling this report.
The report is prepared by collecting the data available on the last
day of every month. That is, the statistical data for the month of
2009 December is collected at 2009 December 31 23:59 PM GMT and so on.
Kindly note that, for time being, I have included the statistical
information of only those Indian language wikipedias that crossed the
1000 articles milestone. Following are those Indian Language
Wikipedias.
* Bengali
* Bishnupriya Manipuri
* Gujarathi
* Hindi
* Kannada
* Malayalam
* Marathi
* Tamil
* Telugu
I have plans to add the following SEA language wikipedias in the
future statistical reports (Statistical report for the month of
January 2010 onwards)
* Sinhala
* Sanskrit
* Bhojpuri
* Oriya
* Punjabi
* Assamese
I hope this initiative will improve the interaction between different
Indic Language Wikipedias/wikipedians.
We (Malayalam Wikipedians - http://ml.wikipedia.org) are maintaining a
similar comparison study of the major Indic Language wikipedias for
the past two years. This analysis has helped us to understand the
status of Malayalam Wikipedia as compared to the other Indic Language
Wikipedias. I hope this report will help other Indic language
wikipedias also.
The PDF of detailed analysis is available at
http://shijualexonline.googlepages.com/2009_december_en.pdf
Please let me know in case there are any issues.
Regards
Shiju Alex
