Hi,
Recently we came to know that a fraud guy has been claiming himself to be the
"head" of Tamil Wiki and a director for yet-to-be-formed Indian Wikimedia
chapter. He has been doing this at many places including Govt circles. This was a shock
for us. I would like to warn a similar possibility for all other Indian Wikis.
I recommend that each Wiki start a mechanism to officially elect few official
Spokespersons / contact persons and spread the word about this selection. The appointment
can be cycled every few months to share responsibility with more members. These need not
be just the sysops / bureaucrats. They can be anyone trust worthy, long serving the
community, having fair idea of Wiki organization and easy to cooperate and communicate
with.
Ravi.
