[Sent out this note to some Goa mailing lists. Thinking of an edit-a-thon here. Can someone help me to get permission for the mass creation of 10-20 accounts and the use of the same from a single IP address? This could happen in the next 2-3 weeks. --FN]

Dear all:

Pls see the following writer-related Wikipedia profiles that require some working to be completed or undertaken: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Sahitya_Akademi_Award_ winners_for_Konkani

The authors whose profiles are missing include:

1986 Prakash Damodar Padgaonkar Hanv Monis Asvat-Thamo (Poetry) 1987 Arvind N. Mambro Panaji Atam Mhatari Zalea (Short stories) 1990 Ramesh B. Veluskar Savul Gori (Poetry) 1991 Meena Kakodkar Sapan Fulam (Short stories) 1992 Nagesh Karmali Vanshakulachen Denen (Poetry) 1993 Mahabaleshwar Sail Tarangan (Short stories) 1994 Gokuldas Prabhu Antar ayami (Short stories) 1995 Dilip Borkar Gomanchal Te Himachal (Travelogue) 1996 Sankar Ramani Nilem Nilem Braham (Poetry) 1997 Sheela Kolambkar Bhuim Chafim (Pen-portraits) 1998 John Baptist Sequeira Ashim Asim Lharan (Poetry) 1999 Saratchandra Shenoi Antarnad (Poetry) 2000 Pandurang Rajaram Shenay Bhangui Champhel'li Sanj (Poetry) 2001 Madhav Borcar Yaman (Poetry) 2002 Hema Naik Bhogadandd (Novel) 2003 (Late) Shashank Sitaram Parigh (Short Stories) 2004 Jayanti Nayak Athang (Short Stories) 2005 N.

In addition, the others might also need their profiles to be improved.

If anyone is willing to undertake to help complete any, some or all of these profiles, I'd be happy to mentor and guide. It's simple to do (but the Wikipedia, being an encyclopedia, wants all information to be referenced carefully before it is included).

There are also other profiles of Goa writers (English, Romi, Marathi) waiting to be completed. At another level, Prof Delfim Correia was searching for images of Goan authors who wrote in Portuguese. Do you have any? Are you willing to share?
