is a Wikimedian who edits on Santhali Wikipedia. Fagu is a school
teacher in a village school near Baripada in the Mayurbhaj district in the
state of Odisha. He is one of the few editors who worked on the incubator
to make Santhali Wikipedia live. He got to know about Wikipedia from his
friend User: R Ashwani Banjan Murmu and has since then been contributing to
the free-knowledge movement. Rarely having any access to a laptop, Fagu
used to edit on his mobile device until he received a laptop under Project
Tiger.
Fagu's major edits are on Santali literature and he endeavours to document
much of Santhali heritage. Fagu believes by contributing to Wikipedia he is
serving the mission of increasing awareness for his language over the
internet. Fagu's major contribution has been towards Wikipedia however he
wishes to work on other projects like Wikimedia Commons, however limited
Internet bandwidth in his village has been restricting him.
If you know any Wikimedian whom you think should be featured, please feel
free to nominate or contact Abhinav Srivastav -
abhinav.srivastava(a)wikimedia.in.
Thanks,
Sanket
