Thank you Subhashish for the clarification,
I saw Muzammil using @cis-india.org email address and hence considered him
CIS employee. It seems that the organisational emails are provided to ex
employees as legacy or it might be my mistake in considering that an
organisational email account instead of a public one. Pardon me for my
ignorance.

Dhaval

Hi Asaf, Ravi, All,
Please see below replies received from Muzammil on queries raised by you.
I did not notice that Muzammil is part of CIS. It looks like the Urdu
content generation is a task carried out by CIS A2K program under wikimedia
grant.
Do you (WMF) have any specific budget for such tasks? Gujarati wiki
community will love to get paid for content generation.
Thanks,
Dhaval

Dear Vyas,
Good News Muzammil,
But I have seen questions raised for you regarding this number. People
have found out that till mid February there were only around 27 thousand
pages, how did Urdu wikipedia reach 50,000 mark in 2 months?
I will have to examine the extent of bot activity. However, a high level
of bot
activity was also seen on Hindi Wikipedia in the past.
Someone also found that most of the recent activity is due to Bot
operation and 90% of pages are less than 20kb in size, which means they are
nearly substubs.
I would rate most as "stubs". But even these can be forerunners for good
articles of the future.
Regards,
Muzammil
