The 15,000th article was born almost a year back in Nov 2010.Malayalam Wikipedia currently has 261 "active users", 17 admins and 4 b'crats.There was a coordinated effort fby the Malayalam Wikipedians to organically reach the 20,000 article milestone before Onam and the target was achieved 4 days ahead of "Thiruvonam"Apart from the discussion pages, the ML Wikipedians used social media networking sites like Facebook groups ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/mlwiki/ ) and twitter extensively to coordinate and encourage this campaign.This will be also an interesting case study of Wikipedia discussions happening off-wiki and the use of networking sites to promote Wikipedia.Congratulations and best wishes to all the ML Wikipedians behind this achievement.RegardsTinu Cherian_______________________________________________
