[Press] : DNA : "Wikipedia India chapter to become a reality" http://www.dnaindia.com/bangalore/report_wikipedia-india-chapter-to-become-a...

Please note some of the factual errors with the article : 1) The 10th anniversary gathering is on Saturday , not Thursday 2) I will forgive the journo for writing as Tinu Cheriyan instead of Cherian but perhaps not Hari Prasad Nadig as Nadek. 3) The Anniversary venue is NIAS ( National Institute of Advanced studies ) , an institution behind IISc and not IISc itself. NIAS is related to IISc, I think. 4) It is Wikimedia India Chapter , NOT Wikipedia India Chapter.

Altough I wanted the article to emphasize on the anniversary event ( to drive people to participate in the event) , somehow the article focus went to chapter, which was still yet to be announced on its formation.

The journalist is not the regular one in DNA newspaper ,whom I am usually in touch with for Wikimedia/Wikipedia news and had to be educated on our history , still he made some serious errors.

I have already communicated the errors to the journalist and he promptly apologized.

The *good thing* was that the article with emphasis on chapter came on the exact day of announcement on its formation.

Regards Tinu Cherian
