Dear Holalkere Rangarao Laxmivenkatesh,
Every Wikimedian's contribution is of great value and the movement should
respect their volunteer contribution perpetually. So is yours contribution.
But this mailing list is not a place to fix a IP address block. You should
discuss on Kannada Wikipedia Village Pump (
), and NOT here. If you have already
discussed and the issue is unsolved you can contact a steward instead. But
all that should happen in your home community -- the Kannada Wikipedia and
Kannada Wikimedia projects.
I have seen your messages several times in this list. If none has flagged
it already, it seems to me like hijacking another discussion. This
particular discussion is about a Wikipedia event, not solving an issue with
IP addresses. It would be very unfortunate if such a time-sensitive issue
is hijacked to solve a personal user account issue. There is a separate
forum to discuss and solve that. Please refrain from such repeated spams. I
will also request mods to moderate such posts while assuming good faith.

Dear Sir,
I'm very happy to learn that *20 years of wikipedia (Eng) service is
going to be +, **celebrated and lots of preparations are going on.* This
is a worthy cause. I remember a decade of service of *Wikipedia *was
Celebrated at *Sophia college, churchgate, South Mumbai on 31st October,
2010, *where I participated as Kannada language editor along with my
friends, Shri. Hariprasad nadig, and Shrikant mishrikoti. I met *Mr.
Jimmy Wales* after his presentation of his lecture.
*Even in the year 2005 :*
*It was way back in 2005, Shri. Hari Prasad Nadig and we started
contributing to kannada wikipedia, which was in the embryonic state. (It
has not made a beginning and very few articles were there in kannada
language) Now wikipedia has grown in length and breadth, including,
Konkani, Tulu languages by the efforts of various Administrators and other
staff members.*
*Battle cry :*
I would like to call it a *battle cry *in my case. My IP has been blocked
and not allowed me to contribute articles and edit the old ones. Of course
I admit that I have violated some rules. That is purely because I'm an old
timer (now I'm going to be 77 on 24th, January, 2021) and not
accustomed with the modern rules and regulations. Believe me my intention
was purely to contribute as many number of articles as possible in
kannada language.
*In spite of contributing nearly a thousand articles, in kannada and half
dozen articles in English, I'm sidelined and my pride is hurt, and now I
face so much insult among my family members. This is a terrible insult for
me.*
*I know very well that this is not a place to tell my egony, but there is
no one to listen to me. Please pardon me. and allow me continue my work of
editing and creating articles with pictures taken by my camera*.
*I have decided, and hardened my mind not to brood over the past. I
deserve this humiliation and insult. I will face it. All the best and let
Wikipedia further grow to greater heights. **God bless Wikipedia !*

Namaskara,
This is an interesting thought " Gift Wikipedia a Citation on its 20th
Wikipedia". Perhaps some of you would like to try it/find the email
interesting.
Quick link: The tool mentioned at [1] in the email below is Citation
Hunt:
https://citationhunt.toolforge.org/
I checked and it looks like we do not have this tool for a few Indian
languages. This page states how to add a new language support:

Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Gift Wikipedia a Citation on its 20th Birthday!
To: <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>rg>, Wikimedia & Libraries <
libraries(a)lists.wikimedia.org>gt;, #1Lib1Ref general list <
1lib1ref(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
To commemorate Wikipedia's birthday, we will once again be adding
citations to improve the reliability of the platform. This year's 1Lib1Ref
campaign however is very different as Wikipedia turns 20; we are
celebrating the humans that make Wikipedia possible, highlighting their
contributions and commitment to the platform. In view of this we are asking
every human out there to join us in the celebration by gifting Wikipedia a
citation to make it more reliable, starting from the 15th Jan to 5th Feb
2021!
We are adding a new layer of contribution to celebrate the humans that
contribute to the success of the platform as part of the Wikipedia20
celebrations. Join the #1Lib1Ref Human Challenge by contributing citations
to improve the quality of articles around human rights on Wikipedia and
with top contributors receiving swags from the Wikimedia Store.[1]
How can I contribute?
Add a citation
1.
Let the tool suggest a citation needed statements for you, or use the
search menu at the bottom to choose a category (Wikipedia's version of a
tag) of an article that you have a special expertise in (for example,
British novels or Provinces of Afghanistan ).
2.
Go to the article, find the statement
3.
Click edit in the section header
4.
Add the source following the source guidelines
5.
Remove the "Citation needed" template (highlight and backspace in
Visual Editor, or remove the template which adds that tag (it looks like
{{citation needed}} ))
6.
Add the hashtag #1lib1ref to your edit summary
7.
Save the page.
Visit the participate page to learn more.[2]

for more information.[4] You can also find an activity around you as some
countries and institutions such as Canada, Israel, France, Spain, AfLIA,
etc. are organizing their own activities.[5]
If you are organizing, add your event to the 1lib1ref Event Dashboard or
your virtual event to digital events list to enable people across the world

It is not too late to schedule an event -- the campaign runs through
February 5th and in past years organizers have run #1lib1ref events year
round or scheduled activities for #1lib1ref May during the January
campaign.
Remember to add #1Lib1Ref in the edit summary of your contribution to
help us track your activity!
Happy 20th Birthday!
