So far so good that we take most of the decisions on gu.wiki jointly, all with community consensus. That is a healthy practice. We have seen in recent voting that hardly a half of this mailing list took part in the voting on new logo. If you want to avoid this same happening to Gujarati, those who are active on the wikipedia, are necouraged to participate actively in debates. Lets all pray together that Gujarati wikipedia or any of the Gujarati projects don't see such days.

Interesting.. Thanks Jyothis & Theo for sharing this.
It is sad to see that a very inportant Wikipedia like Hindi-wiki is in such a huge mess. Such issues occur when the communities are not strong & big enough, which results in a few individuals having a free run. This is also an important lesson for the newly emerging language Wikipedias, something that needs to be watchful for.

:ccing Hindi Wiki list so that the Hindi community also responds.
All,
Please note that hindi wikipedia's bureaucrats has been removed temporarily for concerns over improper rights management, transparency of the actions and possible privacy violations due to the rights that was requested and implemented over the course of time.
