Hi
Now that Dravid has retired, we will be seeing a spike in editing of the articles. A lot of this may be highly emotional and the article may take a severe POV battering.
I suppose POV monitoring and intervention would be more required on the Indic language Wikis where there may be fewer editing eyeballs.
Request everyone to watchlist Rahul Dravid's article on all Indic language wikis.
Regards
His retirement has apparently taken cricinfo down. Just before you sent this email, I was cleaning up the retirement section of the article :)

@Subhashish I agree.
Personally, I'm trying to get people to upload more pictures of Dravid to commons. The current infobox pic of Dravid is quite inadequate :/

Don't miss the opportunity for improving an article about Rahul Dravid in Indic languages!
It's good to see that there are articles in several Indic languages already, but only the one in Hindi looks complete. In other languages they are mid-length to short.
What you can do: * Share a link to the Wikipedia article *in an Indic language* in Facebook / Twitter / identi.ca / Google+. * Ask your friends who are good with sports and who know an Indic language to improve the article. * Improve the article in the Indic language yourself. It's time consuming, but very satisfying and hugely helpful to millions of people. * If an article in your language doesn't exist, create it! (speakers of Oriya ଓଡ଼ିଆ / Assamese অসমীয়া / Punjabi ਪੰਜਾਬੀ / Gujarati ગુજરાતી - i'm talking to you!)

Agree with Amri. This is the perfect time to create a new article.

If it's just about English, then it's true, but such topics can actually be useful for many languages of India, as i wrote earlier.
Articles about notable personalities and news events are a very good opportunity for editor recruitment and raising awareness about the fact that Wikipedia exists not only in English.

Not only is this relevant to indic languages as well, the image discussion is related to Commons.
Kindly read the content of emails before commenting.

That is still about "content". IIRC we don't discuss about content(even if its related to Indic / commons) here unless its important from community perspective (WifiOne etc). Peace.
An individual mail to each community, then? As I said, a mail to the English community types?
However, judging by that, you should do something about the fact that there are plenty of mails related ONLY to English that do the rounds of the list on a frequent basis.
