Hello Everyone,
It is with great pride I would like to share great news with the community.
We did Proofreading contest in Punjabi Wikisource from 21 December 2018 -
31 January 2019 and we have record breaking results.
Starting from 300 proofread pages per month with only about 4-5 editors,
and almost 0 editors with 50+ editors in October, we only had 1269 pages
proofread since past 2 years.
After the contest, we now have community of 24 editors with 50+ edits and
35 participants that joined us via outreach programs and workshops . We
were able to get 5100+ pages proofread in 40 days, making us the fastest
and the most active Wikisource community in India. And as per the latest
stats, we are also the fastest growing Wikisource community globally in
terms of growth and third most active community in terms of pages proofread
after 40 days of the contest. We will continue to validate the proofread
pages from the contest in the next couple months to maintain quality and
reliability.
We hope we can continue to grow and advance the mission of free knowledge
from Punjabi Community.

Dear all
It gives me great pleasure to announce that the Featured Wikimedian of the
month for February 2019 is User:Gazalworld. Please find a short brief about
him below.
"Anant Rathod with User Name: Gazal world is an editor on Gujrati and
English Wikimedia Projects. He was introduced to Wikimedia by his friend
and an active editor on English Wikipedia User: Nizil Shah who helped him
by providing step-by-step guidance on Wikimedia editing. Anant's favourite
area of editing has been writing about Indian literature on English
Wikipedia and vice-versa for Gujarati Wikipedia.
On four different occasions, his work has been featured under Did You Know
section on English Wikipedia. Anant's good quality contributions have
helped him attain access rich scholarly and archive content like JSTOR,
Oxford, Project MUSE, EPW, EBSCO, Edinburgh University Press, De Gruyter
and Questia. Anant believes that pay-wall resources restrict a volunteer on
improving quality content on Wikipedia. To overcome this, he has been
working as a tireless volunteer on the resource desk on English Wikipedia
and has helped in providing more than five hundred reference material to
the volunteers. The most encouraging practice in this exercise has been
visiting the physical library - Gujarat Vidyapith Library where he gets the
books physically scanned and provides it to the needful.
Anant is associated with several literary associations and has also
participated as a poet for Sahitya Akademi, New Delhi. Being a student of
Chemistry, he stays in Ahmedabad in Gujarat."
If you know any Wikimedian whom you think should be featured, please feel
free to nominate him/her on

Or feel free to contact me at yohannvt@wikimedia.in or Abhinav Srivastava
at abhinav.srivastava@wikimedia.in.

Yohann Thomas
