I once actually thought of joining the Indian chapter because Pakistan chapter not currently exists but I couldn't able to as the membership is only for Indians.

Hello,

I read that Wikimedia India does not accept member who are not Indian nationals. This comes as a big surprise, and I don't see any reason for it. As far as I know, membership in a non-profit in India is not limited to Indian nationals.

A change whould be most welcomed.

Thanks,

Yann Forget, from Ahmedabad

​I am not sure about your previous emails, but this one i received today,

and it's dated 2 days ago.​

This is a public mailing list, anyone can subscribe. If you're not subscribed or put on moderation then an admin has to approve your posts. Sometimes it gets delayed. So what?

Nowhere it's written that posts should be approved immediately!

Ansuman, the mail arrived on the 25th. Check the archives if you need to.

​Srikanth, I think we can only see/check the sent date which you say

arrived date, i.e. the actual date and time of the email when sent by the sender. We don't get to see the delivery time when approved later. *Not so sure!*

Like I just said, " ​ this one i received today, and it's dated 2 days ago." :-)

Yann, as Arun and Abhijit stated. We would require approval, both from the Registrar of Societies in Karnataka as well as the Ministry of Home Affairs at Delhi. The process is a lengthy and time consuming one because it involves a lot of running around. If any changes do take place, we will let everyone know. Cheerio,

This question came up last February as well. Apparently, this was a restriction placed by the Registrar of Societies in Bangalore. See - http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimediaindia-l/2013-February/009280.h...

I have no idea. I just linked to the conversation because I remember it happening and searched for the same and found it.
