Thank you Aswin, for both your great presentation at the conference as well as for uploading it for wider consumption.

Within the short time allowed, you have put forth a lot of useful information by way of statistics, observation and analysis.


As I had mentioned to you personally, I believe that the large number of stubs and poor-graded articles only shows the greater dimensions we can grow up to. It is only a matter of time, more Indians  will tread into Wikipedia and then dare to edit and nourish those stubs.

At the helm, you should now lead our teams to get into schools and colleges.
Each class can take up a page / project per semester or per year to which certain credits/marks  are allocated by their sessional examiners.

We may be able to convince the central/state government educational authorities/agencies to incorporate such projects into various curricula.

The potential is huge. 10 to 100 Million well-developed articles!!!

Dear friends,

My presentation on the state of WikiProject India on English Wikipedia in WikiConference 2011 has been uploaded to Slideshare.

Please note that there is a change in the ratio I mentioned earlier, I had mistakenly added the GAs and A classes to the total articles for the comparison. The Wikipedia ratio I mentioned was 1 in 1,110 and it applied to featured articles and lists only. IT seems I had added all the FA, FL, GA & A class articles to get the sum 240 & its ensuing ratio which Icalclated wrongly as 1 in 374. It is actually 1 in 1198.32, which is worse than the Wikipedia average.

The changes have been made in the speaker notes with disclosure and transparency.


Warm regards,

Ashwin Baindur

A total of  240 articles, i.e. One in 374 articles, better than the WP average of 1 in 1,110, but not so good that we congratulate ourselves - remember that we are a coordinated, focussed WikiProject. (Stricken text which was spoken by me in the Conference, is  erroneous )
A total of 75 articles are of featured quality, which makes it 1 in 1198.32, which is worse than the Wikipedia average.
