Dear Friends,
The year 2020 is full of woes and wonders. Just before the ending of 2020,
Bengali Wikipedia[1][2] has passed a significant milestone of passing 100K
articles.
Bengali, an Indo-Aryan language and lingua-franca of the Bengal region of
South Asia, is the fifth most-spoken native language and the seventh
most-spoken language by the total number of speakers in the world.[3] The
Bengali Wikipedia Project launched on 27 January 2004 with very few
editors. On 25 December 2020, after 16 years of the initial launch, it now
has passed the milestone of 100k+ articles.[4]
As most of the contributors of Bengali Wikipedia are young and this year's
long lockdowns and campus shutdowns of educational institutes, Wikipedians
had managed to utilized their extra free times by contributing to the
Bengali Wikipedia and it has enjoyed growth at an almost double rate than
the previous year with an organized approach of topic-based consecutive
edit-a-thons.
Here is a quick overview of the milestones achieved -
27 January 2004: Launch of Bengali Wikipedia
September 2006: 10K articles
28 June 2009: 20K articles
13 May 2014: 30K articles
04 January 2016: 40K articles
30 April 2017: 50K articles
08 August 2018: 60K articles
16 July 2019: 70K articles
23 January 2020: 80K articles
22 June 2020: 90K articles
25 December 2020: 100K articles
I welcome you to congratulate the Bengali Wikipedia community for their
achievement and wishing them all the best for future progress and
prosperity.

The Konkani WIkipedia is one of the smaller Wikipedias being built in
regional languages of India. We invite volunteer editors to join us in
creating and crafting entries for this Wikipedia in any script -- Kannada,
Devanagari or Roman.
Full details and guidance available by joining this WhatsApp group:

After centuries, diverse Konkani scripts are actually talking to each
other... Thanks to the Konkanverter. To Wikipedia. And to our (human)
volunteer editors, who are perfecting the text. Thanks to Anup V Shanghag,
a Konkani techie from N. Karnataka, for getting inspired by a solution from
the multi-script Kashmiri Wikipedia, convincing the Wikipedians of Goa User
Group, and applying it effectively on http://gom.wikipedia.org
Now, we need more volunteer editors, if we are to scale up and keep this
conversation happening. Please help us at
https://chat.whatsapp.com/BveppDMKk3G41CYE6TL60B and request your
linguistically-endowed friends to do likewise. Currently, we are working in
the Devanagari, Romi and Kannada scripts (something needs to be done for
Malayalam and Perso-Arabic too, sometime in the future) --FN +91-9822122436

It has come to our attention that Robert Myers (aka BIDGEE) has been ignoring the detective that was sent out to volunteers by the Wiki Foundation and also ignoring local laws by travelling to take shitty pictures all over the Australian country side, possibly spreading COVID to fellow citizen. Wiki Foundation and Wiki Australia must stop him and block him for life! He is self indulgent and using Wiki funds for holiday.

Concern contibuto
[To all Wikimedia projects, minus mailing lists with an active
discussion already.]
On August 2020, the Wikimedia Foundation board of trustees may decide a
rename to "Wikipedia Foundation" and various other things.
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_noticeboard/Boar…>
Following a community meeting, a proposed open letter was written:
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_open_letter_on_renaming>
«We ask the Wikimedia Foundation to pause or stop its current movement
renaming activities, due to persistent shortcomings in the current
rebranding process. Future work should be restarted only in a way that
ensures equitable decision-making.»
