Dear Community

In the Month of October, we were upgrading our server & testing our website, due to which  we were unable to announce Featured Wikimedian for October.

But, now that our website is fully updated & we have upgraded our server, it gives me great pleasure to announce that Dr.Vishwanatha Badikana is our Featured Wikimedian of the Month.

Dr.Vishwanatha Badikana is a Kannada Professor at the Prestigious St. Aloysius College in Mangalore.He started editing Kannada Wikipedia in Septmeber,2014 & Tulu in January,2015 as part of Wikipedia Education Programme run in his Institute. He was part of a small team of editors who worked & finally brought Tulu Wikipedia out of incubator recently.

Dr Vishwanatha mainly write articles on folklore & has written close to 100+ articles in Tulu Wikipedia. He currently working on a unique project where he is writing articles on all the Alphabets of Tulu. Since Tulu is spoken over a small region of across Karnataka & Kerala,he believes that these articles will be useful for students to learn & speak Tulu which will lead to growth of the language.

You can find the full excerpt on the home page of WMIN (http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Home).
