Suprised that there is no Hyderabad event by the volunteers yet. Is there none on the list who can put together one? regards Arun On Wed, Jan 12, 2011 at 1:58 AM, theo10011 <de10011(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Seems some media company messed up with the Hyderabad page. They replaced the details of the event planned by Hyd community. They should have created a separate page for their event. I am clearing the mess. Thanks, Veeven.

2011/1/12 Arjuna Rao Chavala <arjunaraoc(a)googlemail.com> I've just cleaned it up. Now, we have community planned details on place. Thanks, Veeven.

With email & phone number available in the ealier page ( http://ten.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hyderabad,_India&diff=prev&a… ) , it may be a good idea for someone from the hyd wikicommunity or the chapter to reach them and tell the changes. We should be extra careful in those bogus events with an eye on either foundation grant or free merchandise.

I have called up yesterday and told the company the details of our event. But they didnt seem to respond properly, the one who edited the page was not available. So its better we dont further allow such edits on our page, by the way i was unaware of the changes.

Just now found two events in Tamilnadu organized by people whose wiki involvement is not recognizable. Found a spamy link too. Raised an alert notice in respective pages and left the details in talk pages. http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podanur http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coimbatore

Just found another from Hyderabad http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madhapur,_Hyderabad Regards Tinu Cherian 2011/1/12 రహ్మానుద్దీన్ షేక్ &lt;nani1only(a)gmail.com&gt;
